Product Notes:
Rhodiola rosea has also been found to be quite effective in combating fatigue and hastening recovery not only from psychological or work-related stress, but also from physical stress like exercise, or even from chronic fatigue. You may also find that it can help you focus or think more clearly when that fatigue is lifted.
Rhodiola is a type of shrub which grows in high altitudes near the snow line. Its roots have been used medicinally for a very long time for quite a number of things, including treating altitude sickness. This variety (Rhodiola rosea) not only has antioxidant properties which may help protect the brain, but it also has an energizing effect -- but not in a wired, crash-and-burn way that you might get from too much caffeine or sugar, but in a much smoother, long-lasting way, like from a good walk in fresh air.
Living Alchemy uses dozens of select species of micro-organisms generated from kefir and kombucha cultures during a month-long fermentation process to transform Rhodiola into a superior, activated form with an enhanced nutritional profile which is easier for the body to digest and absorb. It then supplements that with regular rhodiola and two companion herbs to target inflammation and shore up the immune system, for a synergistic effect, to help protect you from falling ill after strenuous workouts or long work shifts when you might be overexerting yourself.
