Nutralighting uses authentic ingredients from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as its base, standardizing the content of salidroside and tyrosol. Providing you with one-stop supply from technical data packages to OEM/ODM customization.

Rhodiola Extract is made from the roots and rhizomes of Rhodiola from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, processed into a standardized active ingredient powder using modern techniques. Its main active components are salidroside and tyrosol, meeting the quality standard of 1%-3% salidroside (HPLC). It has multiple effects, including anti-fatigue adaptogenic (HPA axis regulation), high-altitude hypoxia adaptation, cognitive function enhancement, and improved exercise endurance. It is widely used in health foods, functional foods, and personal care products. The Rhodiola Extract is carefully selected from wild or cultivated raw materials from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, standardized for salidroside and rosavin content, ensuring consistent quality between batches. It is a core ingredient for anti-fatigue and cognitive support products.

Rhodiola rosea extract is a popular ingredient in the global adaptogen market and has grown rapidly in the fields of sports nutrition and anti-fatigue products in recent years. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Russia are high-altitude native production areas.

Basic Information

Standard Specifications (COA)

The following specifications are general reference values; the specific values are subject to each batch’s COA report.

Plant Material Introduction

The raw material is the dried roots and rhizomes of Rhodiola rosea L., a Crassulaceae plant. It is mainly produced in high-altitude regions of China, such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Xinjiang, and Heilongjiang, and also found in Russia and Siberia. The 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia includes Rhodiola rosea. Rhodiola rosea has been used in traditional medicine in cold regions for thousands of years and is known as the ‘immortal herb.’ Its main active components, rosavins and salidroside, exhibit unique adaptogen-like effects.

Core Benefits

Rhodiola rosea extract is a classic adaptogenic herb, with core active components being salidroside and tyrosol. Salidroside may exert adaptogenic effects by regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, helping to maintain balanced cortisol levels under stress and supporting normal levels of neurotransmitters such as 5-HT and NE in the brain (Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2014; 155(3): 1836-1843). Clinical studies show that supplementing high-altitude workers with Rhodiola rosea extract (containing Rosavin 3% and Salidroside 1%) at 300 mg/day for 14 consecutive days improved both blood oxygen saturation and fatigue scores (Phytomedicine, 2012; 19(8-9): 665-672). Another randomized controlled study suggested that daily supplementation with 200 mg of the extract (Rosavin 1%) for 12 weeks showed a trend toward improvement in fatigue scale scores in individuals with chronic fatigue (Pharmaceutical Biology, 2013; 51(3): 323-328).
