Have you noticed how much more likely you are to get sick in the fall and winter than in the late spring and summer?

This is because you are exposed to several types of stressors in the colder months than in the warmer months. Stress, or what the human body perceives as stress, isn’t just psychological or emotional in nature- like any very difficult situation in life. There are also chemical, biological, and physical stressors, some of which are seasonal.

Colder weather and air constitute a stressor to the human body. The human body tries to keep itself warm at 37 degrees and needs to exert, internally, more effort to achieve that in the winter. This makes cold temperature a natural stressor for your body.

All of these types of stressors stimulate the release of excess amounts of stress hormones, especially cortisol.  Cortisol suppresses the healthy functioning of the immune system and weakens its ability to keep viruses and bacteria at bay. This results in colds, flus, and COVID-like symptoms.

This winter you have a tool to combat stress and it's negative effect on our immune system.

One of the most potent “tools” is Rhodiola Rosea, AKA- arctic root, which is a short shrub that grows in elevated subarctic regions. It contains naturally occurring and helpful plant hormones that not only help it survive the stressful Northern winter, but studies have also shown it is effective in lowering human stress hormones to healthy levels. This results in improved physical and mental well-being during the fall and winter months. In fact, a 2015 study showed that Rhodiola Rosea didn’t allow viruses to have a harmful effect on marathon runners- one of the most stressful types of physical activity. In various other studies, it has been shown that Rhodiola Rosea assists in lowering the stress hormone- cortisol, therefore, fortifying the immune system.

Rhoziva is the only brand of Rhodiola extract grown in Canada (Alberta).  It came about from a research project for the Ministry of Alberta where its cultivation was assigned to 100+ Albertan farmers. After multiple strains were tested, one unique and potent strain was chosen. Its effect on physical strength and well-being, as well as mental well-being, can be quite profound and could help you ward off colds and flu, or at the very least, make them much milder than they should be. This provides a safe and natural solution to help your body mitigate stress, while also boosting your immunity.
