These include much of the [[Arctic]], the mountains of [[Central Asia]], the [[Rocky Mountains]], and the northern or mountainous parts of [[Europe]]. The perennial plant grows in areas up to 2280 meters elevation. Several shoots grow from the same thick root. Shoots reaches 5 to 35 cm in height. Rhodiola rosea is dioecious – having separate female and male plants. |

| | + | By division, cuttings or seed. |
| | | | |
| − | Rhodiola rosea is effective for improving [[mood]] and alleviating [[depression (mood)|depression]]. [[Russia]]n research shows that it improves both [[physiology|physical]] and [[mind|mental]] performance, reduces [[Fatigue (physical)|fatigue]], and prevents high-[[altitude sickness]]. In one study, the Rhodiola rosea group decreased proofreading errors by 88% while the control group increased proofreading errors by 84%. Rhodiola rosea's effects are attributed to its ability to optimise [[serotonin]] and [[dopamine]] levels, due to [[monoamine oxidase]] inhibition and to its influence on [[opioid]] [[peptide]]s such as beta-[[endorphins]]. <ref>MDidea, [http://www.mdidea.com/products/herbextract/salidroside/data.html Salidroside]</ref>

| − | In Russia, Rhodiola rosea, also known as golden root, has been used for centuries to cope with the cold [[Siberia]]n climate and stressful life. It has also been used for centuries in Scandinavia, both by the [[Vikings]] and the [[Sámi]]. Note that Rhodiola is sometimes inappropriately referred to as "Arctic Root®", which is a trademark product name held by the [[Swedish Herbal Institute]] for an extract SHR-5 which contains unique Rhodiola rosea extracts tested in human clinical trials. Publication of a double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial shows a significant effect for SHR-5 Rhodiola extract in cases of mild-to-moderate depression. <ref>Nordic Journal of Psychiatry, 2007 V. 61, No. 5, "SHR-5 Rhodiola rosea and the Treatment of Depression" by V.Darbinyan, G.Aslanyan, E.Amroyan, E.Gabrielyan , C.Malmstro, A.Panossian, The PBM Clinic, Institute of Health Competence, Stockholm-Globen, Sweden</ref>

| | + | *{{wplink}} |
| | | | |
| − | Rhodiola rosea extract is mainly used in the form of [[Encapsulation (pharmacology)|capsule]]s. These capsules usually contain 100 mg of a standardized amount of 3 percent rosavins and 0.8-1 percent salidroside because the naturally occurring [[ratio]] of these compounds in Rhodiola rosea root is approximately 3:1.
| + | {{stub}} |
| − | | + | __NOTOC__ |
| − | A typical [[Dosing|dosage]] is one or two capsules daily; one in the morning and when taking two capsules one in the early afternoon. Rhodiola rosea should be taken early in the day because it can interfere with [[sleep]]. If a user becomes overly activated, jittery or agitated then a smaller dose with very gradual increases may be needed. It is [[Contraindication|contraindicated]] in excited states.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The dose may be increased to 200 mg three times a day if needed. A high dose is considered to be daily intakes of 1,000 mg and above.
