Rhodiola Rosea for Mental Fatigue

The Burnout Eraser

Rhodiola Rosea is distinct among adaptogens because it is stimulating rather than sedating. It is the gold standard for treating "Burnout Syndrome"—a clinical state of emotional and physical exhaustion. Unlike caffeine, which borrows energy, Rhodiola increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier to precursors of dopamine and serotonin.

Rosavins vs. Salidrosides

The ratio matters.

• 3% Rosavins: The traditional standardization. Good for general stress and anxiety (calming).
• High Salidroside (>1%): The modern preference for productivity. Salidrosides are more dopaminergic and stimulating.
