Could help reduce symptoms of depression

Depression is a common yet severe condition that has an adverse impact on your mood and behavior. It is believed to happen when neurotransmitter molecules, which are found in your brain, are out of balance. Antidepressants are frequently recommended by doctors to assist address these chemical abnormalities. Rhodiola Rosea may have antidepressant qualities that support the equilibrium of your brain's neurotransmitters, according to some research.

In one study, the effects of Rhodiola were contrasted with those of sertraline, an antidepressant that is frequently administered and marketed as Zoloft. 57 participants with a diagnosis of depression were given Rhodiola, sertraline, or a placebo for 12 weeks in the trial. Rhodiola and sertraline both reduced depressive symptoms, although sertraline had a stronger impact. Rhodiola, however, was more well-tolerated and had fewer adverse effects.
