The properties of Salidroside
Salidroside (Rhodioloside) is a glucoside of tyrosol found in the plant Rhodiola Rosea. It has been studied, along with Rosavin, as one of the potential compounds responsible for the putative antidepressant and anxiolytic actions of this plant. Salidroside may be more active than rosavin, even though many commercially marketed Rhodiola Rosea extracts are standardized for rosavin content rather than salidroside.
