Rose root - Information

Rose root

One of the most documented adaptogenic plants with several fantastic properties that have made it a highly valued ingredient in nutritional supplements for many years. Rose root is a plant that got its name from the fact that the plant's root has a lovely scent of roses. Rose root thrives best in colder climates and therefore grows, among other things, in our Swedish mountains. Rose root is considered to have properties that support the body both mentally and physically in connection with stress, which can contribute to increased energy and well-being. Rose root works quickly in the body and most people feel the effect within 30-45 minutes.

Rose root contains several active substances, two of the most well-known being rosavins and salidroside. Elexir Rosenrot contains a standardized highly concentrated extract with 1% rose wines and 1% salidroside.

Characteristics

Since Rosehip is an adaptogen, it has several amazing properties that are discovered through long-term use but above all through research. Rose root is perfect for those who exercise a lot as it contributes to increased strength and fitness but also for those who need focus and mental sharpness. Rose root also contributes to normal blood circulation, which helps the body supply the cells with oxygen and nutrients. Rose root helps the body deal with fatigue and stress (both physical and mental), which can facilitate many different parts of our everyday life.

Stress in everyday life

Stress is basically something positive because it is the body's way of mobilizing energy and strength before a test where we need to perform a little extra. But... if we are not allowed to rest between laps, but are more or less permanently in a stressful situation, both "body and bud" become exhausted. The experience of stress is very individual. For some it may be a project at work that only has to be finished by a certain date, for others it may be a possible conflict situation with their partner or manager. It can even be such everyday and recurring events as picking up and dropping off at kindergarten. Stress can make us low on energy, which many people "cure" with caffeine in the form of coffee or energy drinks. An alternative to caffeine that provides a softer, natural energy that balances the body is precisely the adaptogen Rosenroot.

What is an adaptogen?

Adaptogens is a collective name for plants and fungi containing certain bioactive substances that affect the body's ability to adapt to physical, chemical and biological stress. The name adaptogens comes from the English "to adapt", i.e. to adapt. Adaptogens normalize and optimize the body's functions to create balance, they do not stimulate a function to its upper limit. They therefore do not work in the same way as central stimulants, for example caffeine, which become less effective the more times you use them and which stimulate even when you are in balance. Adaptogens have the same effect continuously without you having to successively increase the dose to get the same effect as at the beginning. They are also not addictive.

Some of the best-known adaptogens are Rosehip, Ashwagandha, Russian Root, Schisandra and Reishi. To be called an adaptogen, there are certain criteria that the plant or mushroom must meet:

  1. The effect must be general and broad, to the extent that resistance is improved against a wide range of stressors of a physical, chemical and biological nature.
  2. They must have a normalizing, i.e. restorative, function.
  3. Adaptogens must be harmless and have a broad therapeutic effect with minimal, or no, disturbance of the normal biological processes.

Vitamin B5 and Bioperine®

Elexir Rosenrot is supplemented with vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and the black pepper extract Bioperine®. B5 is added as it helps maintain normal mental performance and reduce fatigue and exhaustion. Bioperine® is a patented black pepper extract with 95% piperine that increases the bioavailability, i.e. absorption, of certain herbs and nutrients.
