Nature's Way Rhodiola - 250mg per Serving - Rhodiola Capsules for Cognitive Performance & Energy Support* - Adaptogenic Herb* - Non-GMO Project Verified - Gluten Free - 60 Count (60 Servings)

I originally became interested in taking this supplement after reading literature on examine.com discussing the well-supported anti-stress and anti-fatigue properties of Rhodiola Rosea. I checked a couple of stores and found very expensive liquid drops, but nothing in pill form. Amazon offers this product, conveniently at the correct dosage mentioned in the articles on examine.com, and at a very reasonable price. Per the directions on the bottle, I take one pill before breakfast and one pill before lunch. After about three weeks of supplementing, I noticed two very pronounced effects. Firstly, I wasn't nearly as tired as I usually was in the afternoon. I've always had an issue in the 2 to 3PM range where my energy and alertness levels drop off a cliff. I feel like I'm more productive in the afternoons since supplementing regularly. Secondly, I've kept track of my strength training workout numbers for all of 2013, and I noticed that I was putting up higher reps during workouts and skipping workouts less often after regularly supplementing. I have graphs to prove it! I assume at least some of that can be attributed to the supplement, as I haven't had any other significant lifestyle change. Generally, I feel more positive throughout the day. It's hard to tangibly describe, but I feel less argumentative and have a more positive outlook on what's happening around me. Even more interesting is that if I miss a few days, like when I leave my bottle of pills at work over the weekend, I have caught myself in a grumpy mood wondering "what's wrong", before remembering that I haven't taken the Rhodiola Rosea lately. I'm very skeptical of supplements in general, and I don't use any other pills, not even a multivitamin. However, I do think that the Rhodiola Rosea makes me feel a little better than I normally would, so I'm going to keep taking it. Regarding this specific product, again the dosage is perfect for what I've read, the capsules are easy to swallow, and the taste is tolerable.

Great product. Can tell the difference in this and other lower quality. Offers calmness and energy both.

Rhodiola will provide you with more energy, you just have to give it time. Take the recommended dose for *at least* 2 weeks before you judge how effective it is. I like to take mine with a little food, like a banana. This isn't like a cup of coffee where you ingest it and you feel its effects in minutes. You need to take rhodiola for a little bit before you start to feel an increase in energy. For me, I noticed that I have more energy during low-intensity exercise and slightly less mental fatigue. It gives you a different feeling than caffeine. You aren't stimulated like caffeine. You're just a little more "revved up". The only side effects I had were increased thirst and an intermittent, minor headache.

I take a lot of supplements but this is one that I can really tell a diffrence with - I am a very happy person but have a very stressful lifestyle and tend to stay very tense I think some people call it type A personality lol also I usualy get a small case of the blues at the end of summer there is a word for that but cant remember what it is... anyway I have been taking this for about 2-3 wks now and I take 1 in the morning and another at lunch sometimes if I remeber to do so. I have had a lot of things going on im my life that would normaly have me totaly stressed out and depressed but since taking this I have a sense of calm and just an overall sense of well being - it is going into the fall and I am happy as ever and before my shoulder and neck stayed sore from being so tense - I dont have that now. I have read up on the benifits of this herb and have seen where it can help with better focus and more energy, I cant say that I have experienced that yet but it has defnitly helped with stress, anxiety and depression I would highly reccomend for anyone to give it a try- I think it is sad that Dr's dont perscribe this instead of prozac and many other harmful drugs they use instead.

Fue recetado a mi esposa por su medico

I have been taking this for a couple of years now...after menopause, I was struggling just to be happy...and that was strange for me because before menopause..I just woke up happy...was happy all the time. It use to make me wonder sometimes..why the heck was I just so darn happy all the time...was quite nice...so when I was not feeling it...was a real struggle for me.. So, finally I put myself on a soy supplement of 150 mg of natural soy and started taking these twice a day..once in the morning and then another around 2 or 3 oclock.. .I guess I can't say whether or not my feelings of unhappiness would have gone away on their own over time but I struggled with it enough that I was willing to try anything natural to go back to my ole self.. It took a few months probably but I have been basically happy most of the time now. I have had some major struggles in my life to deal with these last couple of years too...and I have been able to smile and be happy thru it. Which is wonderful!! If I miss a couple of days..I seem to be able to tell the difference...I cry easier over little things..even happy things...so, I stick to the regiment and all stays well. My Doc even prescribed me a low dose of lorazapan to help me thru...but have only take a few over a year... So, ladies...if you are struggling to just feel bright and happy after menopause...please, try the soy and Rhodiola Rosea together...has been a life saver for me. <3 PS I have not night sweats or hot flashes..life is good. :)

...why on earth did Nature's Way add iron to the mix? Those who takes supplemental thyroid hormone or other drugs that bind with iron--tetracycline, for example--will have to go through incredible contortions to adjust their dosing schedule. Given that there are many other standardized Rhodiola rosea products available, it makes more sense to avoid this one. I've switched to the NSI product, and I couldn't be happier. The company is excellent, and it makes generally terrific products, but whoever decided that Rhodiola rosea needs to be adulterated with iron made a big mistake.

For decades I have searched for a natural way to boost my energy, my immunity and my mental clarity, but until now I did not find it. Rhodiola DELIVERS ! One in the afternoon when I'm really dragging and I'm up and running for about another 4 hours. I've used it for around a week now and the results are consistent. I've had no side effects whatsoever. I am delighted with the results of this supplement!! If you suffer from mid-afternoon slump, or you just need more energy, if you are able to take this, it may be the answer. Highly recommend!

Excellent !

Nature has the key to all problems and ailments. It is up to us to discover that key, which may be in the form of herb, fruit, seed, and physical movement. and so on and so forth. Likewise, Rhodiola Rosea was discovered centuries ago and people have been reaping its benefits since then. Reaping benefits depends on how pure the herb is and what is the correct dosage. I am using Nature's Way Rhodiola for just 7-8 days and I am already feeling improvement in my energy levels during long working hours. Earlier, by mid-day energy level became low enough that I used to drag the remaining time in office. Now, I am feeling like a different person, as my energy levels are high and my interest and enthusiasm for work has dramatically enhanced. I feel like a person who is more-in-control. I am happy with the product, its purity, dosage and postage time. I'd definitely recommend it to other who are looking for some nice and safe energy boosting and de-stressing herbs.

Perfect if you want to go sleep, other than that it has no real benefit.

劇的効果は感じなかったため、チョット中断してしまった。副腎には割と良いハーブなのだなと思ったが、輸送費用などを考慮するとやはり、削減している。

I’m taking this for peri menopause symptoms and I’m feeling so much better . Taking them and omega 3 every morning
