Rhodiola can increase your stamina and endurance by increasing your red blood cell count. Red blood cells (RBC) carry oxygen to muscles, and having a higher count can dramatically improve an athlete’s performance and delay fatigue. Rhodiola works by boosting EPO also known as erythropoetin which stimulates RBC production.
According to a study published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism in 2004 rhodiola has anti-inflammatory benefits to cause rapid recovery of muscles and improved endurance. Rhodiola can calm your body when your system goes into a “fight or flight” mode from everyday stressors.
One of the many incredible characteristics of rhodiola is that it helps your body burn stored fat as fuel. Rhodiola contains an active compound called rosavin that has been proven to trigger a fat burning response in your body. Rosavin works by stimulating an enzyme called hormone-sensitive lipase which has the ability to breakdown fat that is stored in adipose tissue (belly area). Also, human clinical studies found that if you combine taking rhodiola extract with doing moderate exercise the breakdown of belly fat increases even more.
The ECGC contained in green tea extract limits the negative effects of a fatty diet as well as smoking. Consumption of green tea extract promotes the process of thermogenesis and increases the rate your fat metabolism, without increasing the heart rate- it will not make you jittery.
