An adaptogenic plant helps the body to better adapt to situations of physical, mental, or emotional stress.

 

Unlike a classic stimulant that acts quickly but temporarily, an adaptogenic plant supports the body's natural resistance mechanisms to improve its long-term adaptive capacity.

 

Rhodiola is now considered one of the leading adaptogens in this category, alongside Ashwagandha.

The main active compounds in Rhodiola are:

 

rosavins;

salidrosides;

various polyphenols and antioxidant compounds.

 

At Renact, we use a standardized extract containing:

 

3% rosavins

1% salidrosides

 

These two markers are considered the main indicators of quality for a Rhodiola extract.
