Reviews
Pros: Seems good quality. Standardised ingredients. No unnecessary ingredients, although does contain a bulking agent. Good price for 60 capsules. Suitable for vegans. Best before 08/2025. Cons: Cannot think of any. Rhodiola rosea grows in cold areas of Europe and Asia and has long been used for its health benefits. It contains over 140 active substances, the strongest are rosavin and salidroside, which are both standardised in these, so you know how much you are getting. Adaptogens improve your body's own resistance to stress and a study showed this may help with burn-out. I am going through menopause and suffering from tiredness, so maybe these will help.
I have been a long term, seasonal user of this product for maybe 20 years or more, I take it usually in December when I’m at my busiest meeting people at parties, in the events industry day and night for around 3/4 weeks. I’ve found that with much shorter sleep time available, but the demands of hectic days, this product really smoothed out the tiredness and fatigue, along with keeping me positive and perky. This item has a good dosage, a sealed container which I like, and also the tall thing design means I can get many items in my cupboard of supplements, of which I have many. This is a good product I know well.
After learning about adaptogens I've started trying a few just to improve mental performance in a fast paced job. I have used this one for a while now and it seems to provide a small amount of increased concentration which is more than I can hope for, it also comes in at a reasonable price and I like the discreet and easy to store packaging. The only improvement that I'd make is to improve the ingredient quality, there are bulking agents added which I could do without, although in terms of value these are still a good pick.
Bought this after hearing about it on the Huberman Podcast. This gives you energy without causing a deficit later on. It's a clean energy, not like a coffee buzz or anything, to be honest I don't notice it until I realise I've done more hours in the garden than I would normally do. This really helps me with my physical job, wouldn't be without it. Decent price, well worth the money.
Great supplement I've taken rhodiola before, so understand it's benefits. I'm just disappointed that the main ingredient in the highest quantity is a bulking agent.
