In a placebo controlled, double blind, crossover trial, low dose treatment with a standaraized extract of Rhodiola rosea reduced symptoms of fatigue in 56 young, healthy male and female physicians on night duty. Although this study only lasted two weeks, the investigators concluded that the extract "possesses a clear anti-fatigue effect without any reported adverse side effects." Dosage used was one 170 mg tablet daily which had about 4.5 mg salidroside.
In a Russian study, Rhodiola rosea was found to prevent stress induced cardiac damage by preventing stress induced release of proteins and higher enzyme levels which can damage heart tissue.
