5 Supplements and Vitamins to Fight Off the Pandemic Stress
-
Rhodiola Rosea
This plant is native to the mountain regions of Asia and Russia. It has been widely popular for centuries for its healing properties, as well as its ability to increase your resistance to stress.
These health benefits are all due to two key components naturally found in the plant: salidroside and rosavin.
This study published in the journal Complementary Medicine Research has examined the impact of rhodiola supplementation on 100 people diagnosed with chronic fatigue. According to the results, a supplementation of 400 mg daily has decreased unpleasant symptoms such as lack of sleep or inability to concentrate in just one week.
Furthermore, this 2017 study published in the journal Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment showed that taking a rhodiola supplement of 400 mg per day for at least 12 weeks can improve symptoms such as extreme fatigue and anxiety.
Although rhodiola is generally tolerated by anyone and doesn’t pose any health risks or side effects, make sure to still let your doctor know that you intend to start taking it.
