This is one of few supplements I swear by. I use it before workouts, along with an espresso shot and I find myself with a lot more endurance to strenuous exercise. But the main use I make out of it, is when I'm working long hours in the office stressed and sleep deprivated. It gives me a sense of empowerment, mental focus and clarity. Indispensible! Another comparable product is by Thorne Research, Rhodiola ( http://iherb.com/p/18583? ). Use the coupon code in my user name at checkout to save you up to $10.00 off your first order!

There's one thing you should know about Now's Rhodiola: It's dose dependant. These are the results of my experiments with it: -1 Pill at breakfast and it's a very good mood booster. It activates you for the whole day and it increases your confidence and productivity. It also increases your sex drive and a general feeling of well being. It feels a bit like if you had taken 4 coffees. Be sure to take it early in the morning or else it will keep you awake at night - 1/2 Pill taken before sleep and it just knocks you out. It does just the opposite that the whole pill. You get very very sleepy in just 20 minutes and you need to go to bed. The sleep quality is a bit light but I'm sure a lot of people could get benefit from this usage.

First time Ive taken Rhodiola. Offers nice calm with focus. Similar to Bacopa but Id say Bacopa calms the mind and offers a hint more focus yet doesnt calm the body as much (adrenal system etc). Rhodiola seems to relax me more. Both are great herbs I will alternate between.

No idea if it's in my head but definitely less stressed and calmer now even when things that use to get my goat at work pop up I seem to handle them better. Not nearly as depressed and more active with more energy. I will be staying with this. The price here is the best I've found too.

I started taking Rhodiola when I moved across the world, was having tremendous trouble with anxiety and some depression, and didn't want to take a pharmaceutical. A therapist recommended I try Rhodiola, and I am so glad I did. Within five days, I started to feel like myself again, and within two weeks, I was truly out of the constant cycle of anxiety and misery. Rhodiola of course isn't a cure-all, but has certainly been an amazing tool for me to battle my mental difficulties without synthetic chemicals.
