[What is Rhodiola Rosea]

Rhodiola Rosea (also known as Arctic root or golden root) is a member of the family Crassulaceae, a family of plants native to the arctic regions of Eastern Siberia. Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed  in Arctic and mountainous regions throughout Europe and Asia. It grows at altitudes of 11,000 to 18,000 feet above sea level.

There are numerous animal and test tube studies showing that rhodiola has both a stimulating and a sedating effect on the central nervous system; enhance physical endurance; improves thyroid, thymus, and adrenal function; protects the nervous system, heart and liver; and has antioxidant and anticancer properties.

DESCRIPTION: An independent review of the effects of açaí berries was recently published, including studies on immune function, arthritis, and metabolic parameters. Here are the older açaí videos I referenced: Antioxidant Content of 300 Foods (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-content-of-300-foods-2/) and Superfood Bargains (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/superfood-bargains-2/). Indian gooseberries may also help control blood sugars (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/amla-versus-diabetes/) and rose hips may also help with arthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-osteoarthritis-treatment/). Plant-based diets in general may help arthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/diet-rheumatoid-arthritis/) and metabolic parameters (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/metabolic-syndrome-and-plant-based-diets/). I also have another video on pomegranate juice: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-pomegranate-juice-that-wonderful/ And what’s true of pomegranate juice is true of other juices (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/best-fruit-juice/) with one exception (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-fruit-whose-juice-is-healthier/).

Even if supplements contain what they, say they may not be useful (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-supplement-snake-oil/) and sometimes it’s what’s added rather than what’s missing that is the problem (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/some-ayurvedic-medicine-worse-than-lead-paint-exposure/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at https://nutritionfacts.org/video/clinical-studies-on-acai-berries/ and he’ll try to answer it!
