How does Rhodiola Rosea work?
Active compounds (rosavins, salidroside) modulate the HPA axis, attenuating the cortisol response to stress. Influences serotonin and dopamine pathways. Inhibits catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) and monoamine oxidase (MAO), increasing monoamine availability. Also exhibits antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.
