Rhodiola

/ roh-dee-OH-luh /

An adaptogenic herb whose root has long been used in cold, high-altitude regions to counter fatigue. Its activity is attributed mainly to two compound groups, rosavins and salidroside, and it is among the more studied adaptogens for blunting the mental and physical toll of stress. As a non-caloric botanical extract, it does not break a fast.
