User Reviews for rhodiola

My dr. Suggested that I try rhodiola. So far I've only taken fr a few days but I feel different. First great benefit,, I had several good nights sleep. I dont feel as irritable and fatigued. Before taking it I felt edgy and mentally fatigued. I seemed to have lost my patience for mundane questions. I was snappy. Now I feel more energy and an overall happiness. I push my body quit a bit this seems to help me with mental acuity. Overall pretty pleased. I plan to see if I conte with similar effects over a longer period of time.Read More Read Less

I suffer from mild depression and an inability to accomplish small tasks like house cleaning. After using Rhodiola Rosea for only a couple weeks, I am achieving my goals and feeling good about myself and life in general. I believe it is a wonderful product and I am so glad I found out about it. I actually feel happy sometimes :)

Immediate effect, but no long term experience yet.

Suffered depression from chronic stress from over a decade in my profession. I am in a high-performance sales profession with my compensation tied to using interpersonal skills and group presentations. Not a drinker or drug user (prescription or otherwise) so the sudden onset of chronic depression was surprising. Spoke to my primary care doc who prescribed zoloft. Reaction to this drug was extremely negative(constant extreme anxiety, paranoia and even a brief period of suicidal thoughts). Stopped zoloft and tried exercise plus diet and although I was not as bad, I still had issues. Read about rhodiola root and decided to try it due to the low toxicity. Started with 100 mg/day and within 24 hours I could feel the benefit. I wasn't in a permanently bad mood. After 2-3 days I was slipping back to brief anxiety attacks. Raised it up to 200 mg/day (first thing in the morning before breakfast and 30 minutes before lunch). 3 weeks later and I'm 100% better. I no longer have anxiety attacks even when doing presentations in front of large audiences. This herb has changed my life. I've read hours and hours of different reviews of various herbs and remedies. One thing I've learned is that each body is different and you'll need to try to see what is right for you. For me, this root has helped me. I've been fighting an inner battle of anxiety during public speaking for many years and no longer even have this issue. I feel liberated now that I have found a better chemical balance. I am concerned that my body will change and go back to the prior issues but for now I am happy again.Read More Read Less

Rhodiola gives me energy that is much needed for my 5:15 a.m. bootcamp exercise class. It allows me to exercise at peak performance and get the most out of my workout. It also gives me mental clarity. I have used it when I worked a midnight shift to stay awake and perform my job.

I took roseroot to help with stress and insomnia. I slept like a baby last night and was energetic, focused and motivated today. I went to the gym and really hit it. I also felt cheerful all day. Up until tonight though, I had no idea that roseroot was related to increased energy, athletic performance or improved mood. It could be because of the good night of sleep though.
