People use Rhodiola rosea for a variety of reasons. It may help those experiencing mental or physical stress, support individuals dealing with fatigue, and promote mood improvement, as suggested by several clinical studies. Athletes and those who exercise regularly also turn to Rhodiola to support physical performance and endurance.

At Kayara Labs, we embrace transparency that extends to the science behind our products. 

Rhodiola rosea, an adaptogenic plant with a long history of safety and efficacy in traditional medical practices Much is still unknown about its exact mechanisms of action or the physiological pathways it impacts to provide the observed therapeutic benefits. As of now, research suggests that Rhodiola acts by modulating cortisol level through HPA (Hypothalamic/Pituitary/Adrenal ) axis, which could explain its ability to mediate stress and improve mood.

Other studies have shown that Rhodiola may increase ATP levels in mitochondria, also known as the ‘powerhouses’ of our cells, in our muscles. This enhancement of ATP production combined with potential reduction of oxidative stress may be responsible for Rhodiola’s observed boost in energy and athletic performance.
