Secret Legend: Rhodiola Rosea
Fight Obesity and Depression

Rhodiola rosea or Golden root a highly prized herb from the polar arctic region is ready to make its mark on the new world. Emperors of China used to organize expeditions to Siberia to bring back this highly valued plant. In Siberia it's said, "People who take rhodiola will live beyond 100 years."

If there is a perfect weight loss/stress relieving herb this could be it. In Rhosavin100™ we've managed to encapsulate the two essential elements needed by most people to lose weight and truly feel great. Not only does it have the ability to lift the stress that causes your body to crave foods of comfort and store more fat. It also has the power in and of itself to make you lose weight.

Clinically proven to fight obesity & depression
In a study of 128 individuals of all ages with various forms of depression who were given Rhodiola rosea, the main ingredient in Rhosavin100™ all test subjects showed positive therapeutic effects. And, 65% had complete disappearance of their depression. It is thought to work by making serotonin's precursors, tryptophan and 5-HTP, more available to the brain and by increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain (needed by people on low carb diets). In a separate placebo controlled study involving 130 overweight patients over 90 days at the Georgian State Hospital (in the former Soviet Union), of those who consumed rhodiola rosea, 92% lost a remarkable average of 20 pounds while a placebo group on the same diet lost just 7 pounds. This difference is presumably due to Rhosavin 100™’s ability to activate adipose lipase, a key enzyme required to burn the body’s fat stores. Other benefits of this amazing herb include its ability to:

Reverse emotional stress characterized by sluggishness, low motivation, muscle weakness, chronic fatigue, labored breathing, giddiness, chest pain, palpitations, excessive sleeping and brain cloud.

Increase body's ability to handle stresses of all kinds. Partly by calming the sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system and relaxing the parasympathetic system. Subjects given the chief ingredient in Rhosavin100™ showed increased levels of beta-endorphin (the stress relieving, feel-good, analgesic peptide) in the brain.

Improve endurance levels. Excellent for athletes and body builders. A study of 52 individuals of all ages showed a 12% increase in the duration of physical performance. When initially fatigued and asked to perform the test, it increased to 28%! Rhosavin100™ increases muscular ATP and creatine levels.

Enhance sexual potency. In a test of 35 subjects with weak erections and/or premature ejaculations, 50 mg per day was found to provide substantial improvement in 26 of the 35. Seminal fluid also showed an increase in the production of sex hormones.

Combat depression and anxiety. A study of 128 individuals of all ages involving the ingredient in Rhosavin 100™ with various forms of depression showed that 65% had a complete disappearance of their depression. It has been used with a variety of prescription antidepressants with no apparent problems.

Protects against heart attacks. Stress causes adrenalin release which over time can "burn" the heart (heart muscle damage) found in 86% of heart attack victims. Rhosavin100™ decreases the amount of cortisol and adrenalin released during stress which protects the heart against "adrenalin burn." Rhosavin100™ also lowers serum fats and cholesterol while increasing the resistance of blood vessels to cholesterol plaques. If that weren't enough it also protects against arrhythmias (abnormal heart beats) by potentiating endorphins (natural opiates that regulate heart beat.)

Increase protein metabolism. Valuable for body builders. Researchers considered the main ingredient in Rhosavin100™ the equivalent of anabolic steroids without the side-effects. Muscle protein and glutamic acid (from L-Glutamine) are enhanced by Rhosavin100™. It also increases hemoglobin and red blood cell levels while favorable changing the muscle to fat ratio of the body.

130 overweight patients treated. Results: 92% of lost an average of 20 pounds each. The effect of Rhosavin100™ on weight and fat metabolism was studied at Georgian State Hospital. A dosage of 300mg. was administered in 1/100mg. capsule before each of three meals. At higher doses this herb will cause a sedative effect.

Treat 128 individuals 65% of whom had complete disappearance of their depression.

Immune stimulation. Increases immune response while blocking the immune lowering effects of cortisol. In one animal experiment, natural killer cell activity increased significantly.

Increase strength, mobility, learning, memory and attention span.
