What is Norwegian Rosenroot?

Rosenroot is the Norwegian species of Rhodiola rosea. The various species of the Rhodiola family are dissimilar with some having very low quantites of the active ingredients, thus when used as nutritional supplement, it is important to use the right species. "The Norwegian Rosenroot is the most extensively studied and is the only one having undergone toxological studies to be approved safe for both women and men."Rosenroot is described as an adaptogenic herb. The effects of Rosenroot resemble those of ginseng, however, it may be tolerated more widely.
What is an Adaptogenic herb?
Adaptogenes may have a normalizing effect on body functions, both in the immediate and long term.
Adaptogenes may be able to reduce the release of stress hormones and help the body to cope better with stress and other physiological and psychological strains
Adaptogenes are harmless and have no adverse effects, either in the short or long term.DosageFirst time users are advised to start at a low dosage, and increase gradually to the daily recommended dosage. Start with one tablet for the first 14 days, and then increase as needed. The recommended dosage for normal usage is 12 tablets a day. In situations that are especially demanding, a dosage of up to triple the amount may be taken. This applies to products that contain 3-6mg rosavins per tablet.When taking nutritional supplements it is always advised to take a break. The recommendation is a 1-2 weeks break, every 3 months.The recommended daily dosage is 3-6mg rosavins for long-term use.

If Rosenroot is used in the short-term, for instance before an exam or an athletic event, a dosage three times as high is recommended. This applies to products that contain 3-6mg rosavins per tablet.Rosenroot should be taken 15-30 minutes before a meal with a glass of water.An optimal effect of Rosenroot is gained by taking small rations throughout the day. It is recommended to distribute the dosage, for instance one tablet before breakfast and one before dinner. This is a far better option than making one large dose once a day; because the body is not capable of absorbing more than a certain amount of active components from each dosage.

With smaller dosages, the body is able to absorb all the active components and make up 100% use of them.ContentsExtracts of Rosenroot, microcrystall cellulose (binding agent) and magnesium salts of fatty acids (anticoagulant).
