History
Although there are many species of Rhodiola, Rhodiola rosea contains the most important constituents: rosavins and salidroside. It is commonly used in traditional Russian medicine. The root of the Korean Ginseng is commonly used in natural medicine in both China and the West, as it is known for its stress relieving properties. The powerful combination of Rhodiola and Korean Ginseng helps the body by increasing the level of resistance to stress and by fine tuning the stress response system so that the body and cells are protected from an overactive stress response system.
