Rhodiola has been recommended for treating symptoms of depression due to its ability to assist in the regulation and production of serotonin and dopamine levels within the brain. Serotonin is a naturally occurring chemical responsible for regulating feelings of happiness, activity and appetite. Depression is typically characterized by an imbalance in this chemical. Rhodiola can improve the transport of serotonin precursers across the blood-brain barrier, and thus increase the availability of serotonin within the brain. Rhodiola also works to block the breakdown of serotonin by inhibiting the enzyme COMT. This ensures that serotonin remains unbound within the brain for an extended period, greatly improving mood and concentration. Is adaptogenic properties further enhance these benefits to mood and energy .
