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.

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.

Rhosavin100™ will activate fatty acid release from fat tissue under normal day to day activities. However, the effect of Rhodiola rosea on fatty acid enhancement is much stronger during exercise.

Effective weight loss dosage is 1 capsule of Rhosavin100™, 3 times a day. Higher doses or higher bioactive ingredients have been shown to cause a feeling of fatigue.

Q: What is the correct dosage of Rhosavin100™?
A: 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.
