For many years mountain climbers have used roseroot because it prevents and decreases symptoms of altitude sickness.
Active substances in Roseroot are e.g. salidroside and rosavine. Some preparations contain standardised amounts of these substances.
Dosage for chronic conditions
- Roseroot standardised to 1% rosavine: 300 – 600 mg daily
- Rosavine: 3 – 6 mg daily
If you take a single dose for acute purposes the dose can be three times higher than if roseroot is taken every day.
