NOW FOODS Rhodiola 500MG 3PCT Extract60 VCAP, 60 CT

So far I love this stuff! I’ve only taken it a few days but I feel much more productive and clear-headed after taking it. Worth the price.

I've been using it for almost two weeks and I love it. I bought it to help with my cortisol levels, have more energy in the mornings, and regulate my sleep. In the short time I've been using it, I feel much more energetic during the day, as my thyroid usually makes me feel tired. My sleep is gradually regulating itself, and I feel sleepy at 9 p.m., which didn't happen before, although I also have to do my part and stop using my cell phone late at night.

I’ve been taking NOW Rhodiola 500 mg daily for a few weeks. In terms of stress reduction, I haven’t noticed a big change. My tolerance might already be on the higher side. However, I have seen a clear improvement in my sleep experience. When I take it close to bedtime, I remember my dreams much more vividly and even have spontaneous lucid dreams without extra practice. This wasn’t the effect I initially wanted, but it has been an interesting and enjoyable surprise. The capsules are easy to swallow, and the bottle arrived sealed with a fresh smell. Pros: Easy-to-swallow capsules with clear labels Noticeably better dream recall and lucid dreaming when taken near bedtime Non-jittery with no digestive issues for me Cons: The stress-relief effect is subtle for me; results may vary Taking it near bedtime can make dreams intense if you’re not used to that

At first I didnt think it was doing much. Was taking one a day, later tried adding a second and didnt notice any benefit from taking a 2nd one around lunchtime. After 3-4 weeks, I was sure it was helping my mood & concentration. Then, after about 6-7 weeks on it, I felt it might not be working as well as it did.(pooping out) Then i read that one is not supposed to say on any adaptogen for an extended period of time. That breaks are a good idea. So I ordered Ashwagandha, got it today and started it today at roughly 1/2 of the capsule.(Wanted to start slow) My goal is to keep my mood up and keep my brain fog from returning. I think the brain fog came from years on Statins and I stopped them a few months ago. Brain fog improved. Of course, my cholesterol could be skyrocketing and I could have a heart attack or stroke. Trying to eat oatmeal on a much more regular basis now and will ask my Dr if he wants to put me on Niacin or something. When I swtiched to Rhodiloa, it was from Triple Energy Gingseng which was more stimulating but it was starting to become too stimulating and it interfered with my sleep. RR was less stimulating and didnt bother my sleep while still keeping my mood up. My hope is Aswagandha keeps my mood up. And if it helps with my sleep, thats a bonus. Oh, I bought NOW brand for both. Its a brand I trust for quality & value. Even puritons pride buy 1 get 2 free sale with free shipping is a higher cost per mg. I mostly took RR one per day upon waking up on an empty stomach. ------ Update...after taking some time off Rhodiola & trying it again, I can notice an effect more than when I was taking it everyday. My first bottle is almost out and I am trying to decide if I should order another prior to running out. UPDATE2 RR seemed to be too activating for me causing a little anxiety so I tried taking roughly 1/2 of a capsule and I think I like the smaller dosage better. I had a large pack of empty gel caps and I just try my best to put roughly half in each. (But they are different size gelcaps so its hard to tell.) I will say that more is not always better with RR. Noticed one side effect, I wake up with dry mouth the next day.

This is a wonderful supplement, I have been taking this supplement for years, they help with fatigue & when I have ran out & not taken them,I can tell the difference. I took this particular brand & worked a 12 hour shift & it also helps with your mood & anxiety. I usually take one capsule and somedays I have taken two. This is a good price & with NOW products you can always trust the quality.

As a suggestion, I was told to try this supplement out. It made me too sleepy, something I can not do while at work.

This is the first Rhodiola supplement I've tried. I picked NOW because of the reviews here, and because I've generally been pleased with their products in the past (though I am not exclusively loyal to their brand when purchasing supplements). Out of all the supplements I've tried in recent years -- and there have been many -- this seems to have had the most noticeable positive impact on my daily mood. I have always been a pretty moody person, and being in a high-stress profession while having some struggles in the sleep department seems to exacerbate those issues. Many days I just don't feel great and, while I press on, having an upbeat disposition can be challenging. Since I've been taking this supplement, however, I've noticed I have more "energy" for engaging with others and just generally have a more "cheery" demeanor, without any sort of stimulant type feeling. What I have learned about supplements is everyone responds differently -- but, for me, this has been a godsend and one of the few supplements I insist on taking every day.

After comparing it to a lesser dose from another brand, boy the difference in this is quite apparent. It feels like a moderate focus enhancer and definitely increases energy. I like NOW because of the third party testing and attestation. They are a nice "safe" brand I don't have to worry about.

集中力アップ。テンションアップ

Been using since a long time.

Like it and dislike it. When I take it, I feel a little lame for a while and then when i start working out in the gym, I am fully energized.
