Been taking Rhodiola for over twenty years
I’ve been taking Rhodiola, on and off, for over twenty years. After reading many, many articles about it and its adaptogenic properties, including some in the National Library of Medicine, I decided to try it. I was feeling tired with little energy for anything and tried to pinpoint the cause. Some kind of vitamin deficiency? Thyroid problem? Granted, my work situation and commute, like for many people, could be stressful. Started taking it and realized that I no longer was tired or stressed. I felt “normal.” And that’s what this supplement does for me – it makes me feel “normal.” In other words, I don’t feel like I’m taking some kind of stimulant, or anything for that matter. I don’t feel like I’ve taken anything – just have the feeling of not being tired. As an added bonus, it appears to help me with sleep, too. So, here’s a thumbs-up for Rhodiola. There’s definitely something to it. I have recommended this my friends, and they have reported also that there’s a definite uptick of energy and well-being, but not like a cup of coffee. The well-being sneaks up on you and you don’t realize you’ve taken anything; you just feel good!Update for 2024: I stopped taking Rhodiola for about six months. After that time period, I decided to take it again, but made the mistake of buying another brand (which I won’t mention here) that did not work as before with the NOW supplement. It made me jittery and in a bad mood. MMmm … stopped taking it and went back to “old faithful” – the one that had worked for so long, originally starting maybe 15+ years ago – NOW Rhodiola. Suffice it to say that it’s working just fine. I feel “normal” again and not tired and dragging. Exercise came much easier and sleep has again vastly improved. Well, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I should have never gone with the other brand, which was a little cheaper. Cheaper doesn’t, as we know, mean better!

it seems like more energy than that which I get from the …
Rhodiola is supposedly effective in improving energy levels, mostly in combating stress-related fatigue, and I’m always tired, so I gave it a shot.I’m incredibly skeptical of the supplements because manufacturers will say anything they to sell a product, and the lack of regulation in the industry just about gives them a free pass to do so. Most evidence backed supplements are so severely under-dosed that they’re hardly worth more than a sugar pill. Thus, when taking these, I’ve attempted to be as scientific as possible. The first check was making sure that the capsules gave an effective dose, and each of these is dosed a bit above median range for the effective dose found in various studies (from examine.com: Acute usage of rhodiola for fatigue and anti-stress has been noted to be taken in the 288-680mg range).While I obviously can’t do a double-blind studies because I’m the only participant in the study, I’ve controlled variables as well as possible. On similar sleep, and similar food intake, rhodiola gives me a reasonable energy boost. If I eat the pill while drinking coffee, it seems to produce a weak synergistic effect: it seems like more energy than that which I get from the combination of rhodiola alone and coffee alone (if rhodiola gives +1 energy, and coffee gives +2 energy, I’d anticipate +3 energy from combining them, but it feels like +3.5 or 4).NOW is a reputable brand, and Nutri Catalog easily had the best prices at the time, so I went with these, and they’ve done exactly what I hoped.

A Great Nootropic for My ADHD
I decided to try this to assist with my adult ADHD, TBI, and PTSD; as I’ve traditionally done well with anything that hits my norepinephrine receptors, but find that most medications are too strong for me at even their lowest dose.Within a few days this is giving me the same mental focus and energy boost that I had with Wellbutrin but without feeling of being over medicated, or the side effects like migraines or brain zaps as it works on my system. It doesn’t seem to hit my focus hard, but it seems to be helping with my ability to switch between tasks and my overall motivation to push through my ADHD issues with executive functioning.An added bonus is that I immediately stopped stress eating, and haven’t felt as stressed from work or studying. I also generally feel more content/cheerful; again very similar to when I was on Wellbutrin.I doubt this will be a panacea for everyone; nootropic herbs are, just like many psychiatric drugs, only going to effective for certain conditions and neurotransmitter based problems. But if you happen to need something that’s going to work on balancing your norepinephrine and dopamine, this is probably a pretty safe bet.

Mild for me but a supplement I will keep on hand!
First off, everyone is different and all our brains react differently to supplements. Many reviewers of this noticed a difference within hours of the first dose. For me, I felt I had to let it build up in my system for a few weeks but I definitely notice a difference!Overall mood is improved. Calm but not tired or anything. Didn’t give me the huge energy boost that some people claim, but I feel more mentally clear. The most prominent effect this supplement had on me was memory. I’m 20 years old and had some drinking problems a while back, and this supplement makes me have the memory I should, and sometimes I almost laugh at how well I can remember something that happened several weeks ago (often more of a photographic memory interestingly enough).All in all, I took this everyday sometimes twice a day for 3 weeks straight and now take it once every other day. I find it’s best to take right as you wake up, on an empty stomach with a daily vitamin then eat 20 to 30 minutes later. This supplement won’t work for everyone but considering 5-htp didn’t do crap for me and Rhodiola did, I guess anything’s possible! Would recommend.
