Solgar Balance Rhodiola Complex

Description

Solgar Balance Rhodiola Complex provides adaptogenic botanical herbs and nutrients that are well researched and have been shown to support human health.

Rhodiola root extract: Rhodiola rosea contains more than 30 compounds, including flavonoids, triterpenes, and phenylpropanoids. The adaptogenic properties of rhodiola have been attributed primarily to its salidroside and rosavin content.

Siberian ginseng root extract: Although not a true ginseng, Siberian ginseng increases tolerance to various stressors. By regulating the manufacture and secretion of adrenal hormones, this herb helps to normalise the way in which the body responds to stress triggers.

Liquorice root extract:

Glycyrrhizin, a compound found in liquorice, is metabolised to glycyrrhetinic acid in the intestines. In studies, glycyrrhetinic acid has been shown to counteract the effects of adrenal hormone deficiency.

Roman chamomile extract (Chamaemelum nobile): Chamomile has been used traditionally to relieve stress and anxiety and enhance feelings of calmness and relaxation.

Magnesium: Functioning synergistically with pantothenic acid, vitamin C, B6 and zinc, magnesium is required for adrenal health and the synthesis of adrenal stress hormones. Magnesium is a key nutrient involved in proper nerve impulse transmission. Deficiencies have been linked to anxiety disorders.

Pantothenic acid: Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is a precursor of coenzyme A, which is required for the synthesis of various hormones, including adrenal hormones.

Tyrosine: Catecholamines (adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine) are synthesised from tyrosine and become depleted during stress. Studies support the use of tyrosine adaptogenic properties under extreme environmental conditions or psychological stress.

Also included in this formula: Ester C, citrus bioflavonoids, niacin, spinach, kelp, vitamin B6, pumpkin seed powder, broccoli, rosemary leaf extract and montmorency cherry.
