Nektium and the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria conducted a review study on Rhodiola rosea and Ashwagandha, confirming their effectiveness as adaptogens against stress. Rhodiola rosea improves fatigue, mood, and performance, while Ashwagandha alleviates anxiety and insomnia. Both are generally safe, but Ashwagandha’s interactions with medications require caution. Rhodiola rosea is suggested for morning use for its energizing effects, while Ashwagandha is recommended for evening use for its calming properties. Nektium’s Rhodiolife® extract, standardized for rosavins and salidroside, offers a reliable solution for stress management, recently approved with recommended health claims by Health Canada.
