What is Rhodiola?
Rhodiola Rosea, a perennial herb, belongs to Rhodiola L. family, often having fleshy roots and rhizomes. Rhodiola mainly grows in high cold, dry, hypoxia, intense ultraviolet radiation, and the large temperature difference between day and night, high-altitude regions of Europe and Asia. It has strong environmental adaptability and vitality.
Other names of Rhodiola
Arctic Root, Hongjingtian, Golden Root, King’s Crown, Snowdown Rose, RoseRoot, Siberian Golden Root, Sedum rosea, Siberian Rhodiola Rosea, Extrait de Rhodiole, Lignum Rhodium, Racine d’Or, Orpin Rose Rhodiola Rosea, Rodia Riza, Rose Root Extract Rosewort, Sedum Rhodiola, Racine Dorée, Racine de Rhadiola, Rhodiole, Rhodiole Rougeâtre, Rosenroot, Roseroot, arctic root rhodiola rosea, rhodiola rosea root extract.
Species and distribution of Rhodiola
There are nearly 100 species of Rhodiola around the world, distributed in East Asia, Central Asia, Siberia, and North America. There are 73 species in the China mainland, mainly distributed in the alpine mountains and snow plateau, of which 34 species and 2 varieties are produced in Tibet.
Among them, Rhodiola chiefly used for extracting active ingredients are Rhodiola crenulata and
Rhodiola Rosea.
Rhodiola crenulata is generally used as a raw material for Salidroside.
Rhodiola Rosea is the best of Rhodiola series. Only Rhodiola Rosea contains rosavin, rosin and rosarin.
Siberian rhodiola rosea
In Siberia, it is said, “those who drink Rhodiola tea regularly will live more than 100 years.”
Active ingredients of Rhodiola
Rhodiola contains many effective active ingredients, including salidroside, Rosavin, Tryosol, Rosarin, flavonoids, and 14 kinds of amino acid, and various minerals and so on. The components that can be separated from multiple Rhodiola:
1.Phenylpropanoids: rosavin, rosin, rosarin
2.Flavanoids: rodiolin, rodionin, rodiosin, acetylrodalgin, tricin
3.Phenyl ethanol: salidroside, tyrosol
4.Monoterpenoids: rosiridol, rosaridin
5.triterpenes: daucosterol, beta-sitosterol
6.Phenolic acids: chlorogenic, gallic acids
Salidroside
Salidroside is widely considered the most important bioactive molecule in Rhodiola. It may be the reason why Rhodiola has protective and stimulative effects on the brain.
Where to buy Rhodiola Rosea extract in bulk?
Rhodiola extract market situation: Due to the shortage of Rhodiola raw materials in recent years, the market facts of Rhodiola product adulterated were revealed. According to the survey, about a quarter of the Rhodiola products in the market are either adulterated or low in rosavin, which didn’t conform to their specification sheet regarding the rosavin levels present. Chemical analysis (e.g., HPTLC, HPLC and NMR) is recommended to distinguish high-quality Rhodiola products.

FAQ
Q: Which kind of Rhodiola is better for extraction?
Rhodiola crenulata is generally used as a raw material for Salidroside.
Only the Rhodiola Rosea contains rosavin, rosin, and rosarin.
Q: What are the regular specifications of CIMA Rhodiola Rosea root extract?
Salidroside:1%-10%; Rosavin:1%-5%; 3%Salidroside+1%Rosavin; we can also provide some Customized specifications and OEM service.
Q: Rosavin VS Salidroside
Both rosavin and salidroside areare generally recognized as the main bioactive components used to standardize Rhodiola extraction content. Rhodiola owes much to salidroside. It is more active than rosavin. But we cannot completely disregard rosavins, as they work better when combined.
