anticancer_preclinical. Extracts and salidroside show antimutagenic and antitumor activity in preclinical models, inhibiting the mTOR pathway and angiogenesis, though this remains largely experimental.
safety_profile. Generally well tolerated in trials, with only occasional mild effects such as irritability, insomnia, sleepiness, or cold extremities; human safety data during pregnancy and lactation are lacking.
adaptogen_stress_resistance. Acts as an adaptogen, raising the body's nonspecific resistance to physical, chemical, and psychological stressors and helping normalize function of the HPA axis under strain.
