Salidroside (Rhodioloside) is a glucoside of tyrosol found in the plant Rhodiola rosea. It is thought to be one of the compounds responsible for the antidepressant and anxiolytic actions of this plant, along with rosavin.[1][2] Salidroside may be more active than rosavin,[3] even though many commercially marketed Rhodiola rosea extracts are standardised for rosavin content rather than salidroside.
