Did you know Rhodiola stimulates the activity of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine in the cerebral cortex, brain stem and hypothalamus and can increase the the permeability of the blood brain barrier to precursors of dopamine and serotonin!? ——- There are three main chemical constituents in Rhodiola rosea (rosavin, rosin and rosarin) and the term Rosins is used to include all three of these chemical compounds; Rosins are known as the marker compounds that differentiates true Rhodiola rosea extract from other Rhodiola species —— Rhodiola is considered to be an adaptogen, which can increase ones resistance to chemical, biological and physical stressors; Salidroside, one of the primary active compounds of rhodiola, have been found to have neuroprotective activity ——- Tyrosol, which is another active compound found in rhodiola extract, has been shown to increase phosphorylation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which acts as a cell signaling molecule and helps to modulate vascular tone, peristalsis (wave like contractions) and is even involved in neural development and angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) ———- Tyrosol can also influence FOXO transcription factor, which are involved in glucose metabolism as well as longevity genes; Tyrosol has also been shown to induce the expression of the longevity protein SIRT1 ——- Russian and Scandinavian medicine used Rhodiola traditionally to increase physical endurance, work productivity, longevity, resistance to high altitude sickness, as well as to support healthy moods, GI complaints, infertility and various infections ——— #briannaapproved #herbs #adaptogens #longevitygenes #epigenetics #genes #rhodiola #brainhealth #stress #recoveringsuperspaz #adrenals #moodsupport #energy #naturalenergy (at Ocean Grove, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Qd0O-gLM7/?igshid=1kjjbc7s1xyk4
