Rhosavin100™ FAQs

07/14/03

What is the correct dosage of Rhosavin100™?
Rhosavin100™ is the trademarked name for Medicine Plants™ Rhodiola rosea. Each vegetable capsule contains 100mg. of rhodiola rosea, standardized to 3.4% bioactive ingredients, rosavin, rosarin, salidroside, and rosin. Many companies offer rhodiola rosea in higher dose capsules, however the studies begun in 1965 found that small and medium doses had a stimulating effect, while larger doses were found to have more sedative effects. Small doses, such as 100mg. increase the bioelectrical activity of the brain. Medicine Plants suggests that the best beneficial results come from taking between 1-3 capsules of Rhosavin100™ a day, in divided doses.

How does Rhosavin100™ affect weight loss?
Fat accumulated in adipose tissue is very stubborn to reduce. It is a very difficult task to force this unwanted fat out of the body. Stored fat is mobilized by the action of the enzyme lipase. However, this adipose lipase is a special type of enzyme different from the pancreatic lipase in the intestines. It is known as hormone-sensitive lipase. Hormone-sensitive lipase specifically regulates stored fat in adipose tissue. For many years researchers have been searching for natural substances that could specifically activate hormone-sensitive adipose lipase. Research has demonstrated that Rhidiola rosea stimulates the biosynthesis of the hormones epinephrine, norephinephrine and adrenocorticotropic hormone. Epinephrine, norephinephrine and the hormone adrenocorticotropic activate adenilate cyclase (cAMP) in adipose cells. The increased levels of cAMP, in turn, activate hormone-sensitive lipase which plays a key role in breaking down the fat stored in adipose tissue. These released fatty acids are then forced to circulate in the blood. It is important to use these fatty acids that have been released from fat tissue by exercising, such as walking, jogging or yoga, etc.

Is It Safe?
Rhodiola rosea was found to be four times less potentially toxic than Korean ginseng even in high doses. The recommended dosage is 100mgs to 300mgs per day.

Does It Have Side Effects?
Studies found that the following side effects could occur at higher doses a day: irritability, insomnia, fatigue and unpleasant sensations. No other effects were observed.

Are there any clinical studies?
Yes. For centuries, Rhodiolahas been used in the traditional medicine of Russia, Scandinavia, and other countries. Between 1725 and 1960, various medicinal applications of R. rosea appeared in the scientific literature of Sweden, Norway, France, Germany, the Soviet Union, and Iceland.2,4-12 Since 1960, more than 180 pharmacological, phytochemical, and clinical studies have been published. Although Rhodiolahas been extensively studied as an adaptogen with various health-promoting effects, its properties remain largely unknown in the West. In part this may be due to the fact that the bulk of research has been published in Slavic and Scandinavian languages. This review provides an introduction to some of the traditional uses of Rhodiola its phytochemistry, scientific studies exploring its diverse physiological effects, and its current and future medical applications.
