What is the source of Salidroside?The answer is Rhodiola Rosea.
It’s no surprise that plants are the starting point for many, many natural and herbal remedies. But have you ever stopped to think why that is? What’s in them that gives them the juice? In the past few years, science has been able to identify and understand the bioactive compounds found in therapeutic plants. Rhodiola rosea, which can help promote a positive mental state, contains rosin, rosarin, and salidroside. Salidroside, also known as rhodioloside, is the most potent and active compound found in Rhodiola. Research has identified at least 5 ways it may promote good health and have a positive impact on wellbeing. Let’s take a look…

How Does Salidroside Promotes Health?

1. Promotes Nerve Health

Recent studies have isolated salidroside from Rhodiola rosea to determine its effects on the nervous system. Much of this research has determined that this bioactive compound positively supports the nervous system. Salidroside extract seems to protect nerves, promote nerve repair, regulate neurotransmitter release in the nervous system, and may prevent premature cell death.

Findings also suggest that salidroside has great potential as a therapy against degenerative nervous system conditions, which leads us to… 

2. Protects Against Brain Cell Damage
Salidroside may protect brain cells against degradation. One study found that Rhodiola and salidroside protected neurons from the damaging effects of toxins and stabilized cell function. Although by no means should it be seen as an Alzheimer’s cure or total preventative, one study did report that salidroside might offer some protection against age-related degenerative diseases. Alzheimer’s disease, which is characterized by a loss in motor, psychological, and cognitive function, is attributed to the build up of beta-amyloid plaque surrounding neurons. In the study, salidroside was applied to cells that were exposed to oxidative stress via beta-amyloid plaque. Protective effects on plaque-related oxidative damage were reported, giving hope for potential therapeutic use.
