Stress is a killer. Literally.

Every time our bodies are subjected to stress - whether it comes from dealing with an A-hole boss, road rage or even a demanding workout regime, stress causes inflammation in our cells that leads directly to disease and premature aging.

So, what can you do to stay young, hip and gorgeous forever? How do ensure you’ll have the kind of looks that will get you carded even when you fifty?

The answer may lie in a unique group of herbal supplements called “adaptogens”, of which Rhodiola Rosea is a frontrunner.

WHAT CAN AN ADAPTOGEN SUPPLEMENT DO FOR ME???

-Increase availability of energy during the day

-Reduce feelings of stress that lead to premature aging

-Accelerate the healing process

-Increase endurance

-Generate greater mental alertness

-Support deeper, more restful sleep

-Improve sports performance and resistance to muscle strain

WHAT IS RHODIOLA ROSEA???

Rhodiola rosea (of Russian origin), was discovered in 1947, but just recently has started to gain widespread popularity in Europe and the United States.

Health gurus are now touting Rhodiola Rosea as an outstanding, inexpensive and safe adaptogen - one that can help keep you young by alleviating the stress on your body.

Be sure to look for a RUSSIAN Rhodiola rosea formula. Chinese and Tibetan Rhodiola are ineffective because they lack “Rosavins” which is the key active ingredient in Rhodiola.

WHO SHOULD TAKE RHODIOLA???

After undergoing extensive clinical studies, the verdict is that is Rhodiola Rosea is one of the safest supplements you can take. At the recommended dose, there are no side effects like the over-excitement that can occur with herbs like Ginseng, and no drug interactions have been shown.

But please – no Rhodiola if you are preggers or breast feeding,

HOW DO I TAKE RHODIOLA ???

-Look for a product with at least 3% rosavins and 1% or less salidroside

-Recommended dosage is 200 to 600 mg a day

-Take Rhodiola in the morning since it increases alertness (unless you dig watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air re-runs at 3 am)

-Note that higher than recommended doses can cause drowsiness or have a sedative effect

-Excessively high doses (over 2,000 mg), can cause insomnia. Uh, who takes this much of anything anyway???

Unless you live in a full-time cotton-candy, balloons, and rainbow utopia, you deal with stress on a daily basis. But why let these unavoidable stressors sabotage your good health?

Rhodiola is a safe and effective way to maintain your vibrance and slow down the aging process.
