Rhodiola rosea bei Chronic Fatigue Syndrom

Zusammenfassung

In der 8-wöchigen Anwendungsbeobachtung „Rhodiolan® 200 bei ME/CFS“ wurde der Nutzen eines Rosenwurzpräparats für Patienten, die am Chronic Fatigue Syndrom leiden, ermittelt. Aufgrund der bekannten adaptogenen Wirkung von Rhodiola rosea standen hierbei kognitive Beschwerden im Fokus des Interesses. Bei den beobachteten Symptomen waren v.a. die Besserung der Konzentrationsfähigkeit und der mentalen Belastbarkeit bedeutsam, das Präparat wurde gut vertragen.
