Herbal Stress Buster?
Newsweek article about Rhodiola rosea – just one of the adaptogenic components found in Limu Plus™ |
HERBAL STRESS BUSTER(a summary of
the Newsweek article):
The article opens with the story of a young Russian soldier under
stress – stress he manages with an herbal tea from his mom. As a
"side effect", he experienced additional mental and physical energy.
This tea was "made from the golden-yellow roots of a Siberian plant
called Rhodiola rosea.”
Anne Underwood (the author) points out that some plant physiologists
and other natural products companies are now producing products made
from Rhodiola rosea extract. She goes on to say that Rhodiola is
beginning to create a buzz in this country (USA) and that the plant
has been used for centuries in Russia, Scandinavia and Iceland
noting that "Even the Vikings used it for endurance." The Russians
began intense research in the 1960s – in part to maximize Olympic
performance of their athletes. She even says: "It has everything to
become an herbal superstar – a high-safety profile, compelling
benefits and a reasonable amount of scientific research."
The article goes on to summarize some of the research featuring
Rhodiola's positive impact on students during exams, physicians on
night call, and cadets pulling night duty. Dr. Richard Brown of
Columbia University (who used it with 300 patients) says, "When you
see how it works (referring to its impact on cortisol, brain
chemicals and ATP), the effects make sense. It has no side effects
that we've noticed, only side benefits."
The article points out that the quality of the product is critical
and that you should look for Rhodiola rosea, not Rodiola sacra or
any other species. It also notes that a one-month supply of "rhodiola
only" could cost between $20-$50.
Ms. Underwood closed the article with a quote from Liz Sterling, a
radio host from Boca Raton, Fla. After taking a Rhodiola rosea
product for two months Liz said, "It's as if my shoulders have
lowered, and stress just rolls off."
Limu Plus with Rhodiola rosea is now
available exclusively from Vitamark™ affiliates in over 30 countries
worldwide.
