Rhodiola: An Adaptogen for Stress and Stamina

HorseFil Editorial Team

Rhodiola rosea is one of the most studied adaptogenic herbs, and it's the stress-and-stamina component of HorseFil's formula. Here's what an adaptogen actually does.

What "adaptogen" means

An adaptogen is a category of botanical traditionally used to help the body maintain balance under stress — not by eliminating stress, but by supporting the body's ability to adapt to it.

Where it grows and how it's used

Rhodiola rosea grows in cold, mountainous regions of Europe and Asia and has a long history of traditional use for fatigue and mental performance under demanding conditions.

In HorseFil

Rhodiola Extract is included in HorseFil's 6-ingredient formula specifically to help the body adapt to occasional stress while supporting mental and physical performance.

Worth knowing

Adaptogens are generally well tolerated, but if you take medication for a mood or thyroid condition, check with your doctor before adding Rhodiola to your routine.
