Gnosis by Lesaffre is excited to announce a groundbreaking milestone for LANDKIND^® Pure Salidroside, as its first clinical study is now published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.

This landmark study demonstrates the benefits of LANDKIND^® Pure Salidroside – a fermentation-derived innovation – for:

Enhancing sports performance

Protecting muscles from exercise-induced damage

Supporting mood stability during intense physical activity

A Sustainable, Ethical Source of Salidroside

Salidroside is the key bioactive compound of the adaptogen Rhodiola rosea. However, sourcing it directly from the plant comes with sustainability challenges due to the overharvesting of Rhodiola, now listed as an endangered species by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). LANDKIND^® Pure Salidroside is created through a proprietary fermentation process, offering a pure, consistent, and sustainable supply of this valuable bioactive without depleting natural resources.

“Through fermentation, we deliver only the best of Rhodiola—free from heavy metals, pesticides, and residual solvents often found in plant extracts,” explains José Luis Pinedo Rivera, Product Manager at Gnosis.

Groundbreaking Study Highlights

The study, conducted on 50 healthy young adults, revealed:

Improved cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance with salidroside supplementation.

Reduced muscle damage and enhanced recovery following resistance exercise.

Stable mood state compared to placebo participants who experienced fatigue and mood disturbances.

The study authors highlighted the novel insights it provides into the benefits of fermentation-derived salidroside for both health and performance.

A New Era for Sports Nutrition

LANDKIND^® Pure Salidroside offers unparalleled versatility for sports nutrition formulations:

Low dose requirements, delivering an amount of salidroside equivalent to that found in 6,000 mg of Rhodiola rosea (typically containing 1% naturally occurring salidroside).

Ease to formulate into energy products without the bulk or taste challenges of large Rhodiola doses.

The only one more excited than Gnosis is our exclusive US distributor, Gencor: “We are passionate about providing groundbreaking ingredients with human clinical data to meet and exceed the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s consumers,” says R.V. Venkatesh, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Gencor.
