topicRhodiola Cognitive Function Randomized Trial
claimBackground: Rhodiola rosea (RR) is marketed as an adaptogen; however, evidence for acute/short-term effects-and especially dose-response effects-in trained adults across performance and cognition is limited.

topicRhodiola Cognitive Function Randomized Trial
claimConclusion Due to the growing population of people with cognitive impairment and the lack of effective pharmacotherapeutics, it is prudent for those afflicted or their caregivers to find alternative treatments.
