Rhodiola rosea and MEMORY
A placebo-controlled study of Rhodiola rosea's effects on intellectual performance employed 120 subjects who took a proofreading test. Test subjects took the test both before and after administration of the Rhodiola rosea or placebo. The test group experienced significant improvement in their scores while the control group did not. Members of each group were continually tested for their ability to perform on the proofreading test for 24 hours after administration of the extract or placebo. The control group(without Rhodiola rosea) experienced a large increase in the number of errors made in the proofreading test while the group receiving Rhodiola rosea experienced performance decline to a much lesser extent.

This report is only one of more than 100 studies showing Rhodiola rosea's positive effects on memory and mental endurance. To read more about the health benefits of Rhodiola rosea, trademarked by Medicine Plants™ as Rhosavin100™ click on any of the articles on the right.
