[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.

A recently domesticated native North American fruit crop, the American cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon, is a diploid member of the Vaccinium genus of the acid-loving Ericaceae. The morphology and chemistry of the fruit are unique in contrast to other fruits. Fruit have hollow locules, contain benzoic acid, and are high in polyphenolic antioxidants, including unique A-type proanthocyanidins, which are beneficial to human health. Moreover, instead of fruity volatiles found in other fruit species, the major volatile is 1-ɑ terpineol. Relative to other crop species cranberry has undergone relatively little genetic improvement. Major breeding objectives are fruit rot resistance, heat stress tolerance and enhancement of phytochemical constituents.

Dr. Fred Pescatore enlightens us with his explanation of Pycnogenol as a super antioxidant and bioflavonoid and details the different classes of antioxidants. He explains how you take Pycnogenol, how it is absorbed in the body, how it works and that it helps recycle vitamins C&E.
