BulkSupplements.com Rhodiola Extract Powder - 3% Salidrosides, Rhodiola Rosea Extract - Herbal Supplement, Gluten Free, 200mg per Serving, 250g (8.8 oz) (Pack of 1)

Wow, this stuff works. Was not expecting it to be this effective, since a few things I've tried in the past have made me irritable or trigger anger/jitters, etc. Not the case with this stuff. It gives me very sharp focus, physical and mental energy, alertness, enhanced memory/recall. After reading up on it I interestingly found out that this product doesn’t create dopamine like Adderall, it just helps the dopamine you already have stick around a little longer in the synapse. So it feels much cleaner and isn't addictive, yet it still has traces of the effects of something like Adderall imo. And apparently it's very popular among pro athletes because it's not a banned substance in most sports, and I completely understand why now. HUGE noticeable difference in endurance/focus when running the treadmill at the gym. Makes it much easier to complete a hard workout. I do 200MG when I wake up, then on gym days I do another 200MG several hours later about 45 minutes before heading out. Also, if you're a gamer then this stuff is potentially a cheat code for tougher games like souls-likes imo lol. Same deal with competitive multiplayer games. Taste is non-issue for me. I just stir 200mg into a small bowl of water and stir/chop up with the spoon (since it clumps a bit) until its fully dissolved. Then it just tastes like an earthy glass of water. I use a small bowl because it's easier to scoop up any remainder at the bottom, versus a glass with a divot where it gets lodged/stuck.

BulkSupplements Rhodiola Extract Powder hits the mark as always. The 3% Salidrosides standardization is exactly what you want to see in a Rhodiola Rosea extract — this is an adaptogen that actually performs. Clean powder, gluten free, right quantities per serving. I appreciate that BulkSupplements consistently delivers a quality herbal supplement without any unnecessary additives. Whether you're using it for stress support, endurance, or cognitive function, this is the right product from a brand you can trust. Highly recommend.

Does not taste good. Very strong flavor. incredibly effective controlling stress Raises my energy level (cannot take in the evening) First, this supplement drove me to buy a capsule machine. It's incredibly effective and was triggering nausea. It got so I couldn't eat and had to stop all supplements to recover. Once encapsulated, I wondered why I'd ever had a problem. Until I burped. Never mind. I use 1800 mg of this at a time. That is the therapeutic dose recommended by Daniel G. Amen in the first edition of his book, "Healing ADD". I've also tried ginseng, ashwagandha, Relora and holy basil. I've found that as long as you stick to therapeutic doses, they all work. I purchased all of these adaptogens because I have ADHD so severe I have frequent, brief episodes of amnesia. I might be at a meeting and remember everything except 5 minutes. Those 5 minutes will cease to exist for me. I've been told by my doctor that I'm perfectly cogent during these episodes but the memory is lost. Being the little scientist that I am, I dug into brain biochemistry and discovered phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine both precursors for critical neurotransmitters linked to memory/recall and alertness/focus respectively. Supplementation with these two was partially successful. I increased my memory/recall much more than my concentration/focus could handle. My own recall would overwhelm my focus and I'd get confused as the information crowded in too fast. I'd also forgotten *working memory*. I don't know of any neurotransmitters involved but I knew stress could reduce working memory. I'd had mine measured and it was crap - at least 2 standard deviations away from expected based on my IQ. I had ordered the rhodiola, ashwagandha and ginseng, so basically threw all of the at the problem. 1800 mg of the rhodialia 1000 mg of American ginseng 1000 mg of ashwagandha All of it taken in the morning. It would been better to split the doses, but there was no way I could have remembered. Within 3-4 days of this admittedly heavy dose, things started to ease up. The confusion from thinking slowed down. After about 3-4 weeks I noticed I was feeling almost "empty-headed" and constantly had the feeling that I'd forgotten something. Then I noticed my driving had improved. Radically. I've always been a slow, road boulder driver. My friends won't let me drive, because they can't stand to watch me hesitate, almost-panic, take completely unnecessary precautions. One day, I noticed I was driving like a normal person. I could merge into formerly impossible small spaces. I could match speeds quickly and easily. One of my friends exclaimed "You drove at --- mph! You drove like a GERMAN. I am proud of you." German????!!! As in the Autobahn german? I was mystified until I realized the working memory and also processing speed must have increased. It couldn't just be memory and concentration. And the only thing that I KNOW can affect that is reduction in stress levels. I experimented with using adaptogens 3-4 times during the day and discovered they will control stress eating. All of the adaptogens I tried controlled my stress eating. The desire to nibble on things that would start at about 4 PM and continue until I fell asleep was stopped cold if I took any one of them at 2 - 4 PM. But I found 1800 mg of the rhodiola was too stimulating keeping me up to 2 AM. With such a heavy therapeutic dose, it's good for eight hours. BTW, it also increases blood flow to the brain. You might not want to combine with gingko I tried the ashwagandha and also holy basil at 10 - 11 PM along with taurine (a sleep aid) and it was the best night's sleep in a long, long time. Basically, I'm stressing in my sleep - I grind my teeth, tense up my muscles until they cramp, and have nightmares (i'm a screamer). Basically, I think all of these adaptogens will reduce stress. The rhodiola is great for daytime use. It definitely gives you an energy boost besides controlling stress. It's too energizing for evening use. If you want to buy the powder, you DEFINITELY want to encapsulate. (Bulksupplements does sell the Capsule Machine but on their website, not on Amazon).

Having been a Rhodiola Rosea coneuseur for a lengthy span of time I can say this is quality stuff. I don't think it's probably grown in the arctic, just by taste and effectiveness alone, but all the same its a good bargain for the price. The golden ratio is present, as I don't get the jitters or an off-kilter feeling at all. Overall satisfied for sure. Just a couple pieces of advice. The bag isn't really designed for long-term storage, and is really fairly awkward to handle, so I would get an air-tight container to put it in. Don't boil the powder in the tea pot. Basically it stains the pot badly, so that only a vinegar solution will remove it, just mix it within the boiler water in the cup. Finally, be consistent with measuring dose! I cannot stress this enough as a little bit goes a long way. Everyone is a little different, but typically the therapeutic dose lies somewhere within 300mg to 1.5g. I'm definitely on the upper side of the dose as my anxiety has always been so burdensome, however as I've said, everyone is different. Most tests have concluded that any doses over 2 grams are just a waste of precious rhodiola rosea. Anyone looking for additional information on this and rhodiola rosea in general should really pick up "The Rhodiola Revolution" book which I'm sure can be found here on Amazon. It really is an amazing herb and will change your life if prudent and persistent with it. Otherwise, color me a happy customer, it's good quality and labeled well, and the price is quite reasonable for anyone on a budget whom will wants to save by purchasing in bulk!

I had this Item written-down on my list of "best herbs to try" a year ago and this month (August 2018) I finally tried it and use it each day now by adding 1/16 tsp (or 1/8 tsp) to 2 ounces of purified water sweetened with organic Stevia... it's delicious! Otherwise, I will add it to (already-cooked) food. Rhodiola Rosea, used for thousands of years, is a perennial flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae which grows naturally in the wild Arctic regions of North America, Europe (including Britain), & Asia. Commonly known as golden root, rose root, Arctic root, Aaron's rod, king's crown, lignum rhodium, orpin rose, it is an Adaptogenic Herb meaning that it acts in non-specific ways to increase resistance to stress without disturbing normal biological functions, thereby enhancing the body's physiology (functioning). Benefits (noticeable to me!) include increased resistance to stress, versatile nootropic (brain-boosting) effects such as memory/cognition, improved energy levels, strengthened the nervous system, fights depression/anxiety, enhanced immunity by establishing homeostasis (balance) within the body, elevated capacity for exercise (body-building, hard labor jobs, mowing the lawn), aids in weight reduction, increased sexual function (libido), protects heart health in many ways, and prevents/treats certain types of cancer with its high concentrations of antioxidants & anti-tumor action (especially bladder cancer). Mild side effects are rare. As always, before adding a new herbal element to your health regimen, you should "consult" with a "trained" medical professional (even though they'll always lie to you, being ignorant/rebellious toward you about truthful nutritional requirements of the body and the benefits thereof). The deadly medical trap of putting your overall health into the (greedy) hands of a (smiling) white-coated medical professional (say "Yes, doctor") who was trained in a Rockefeller medical school (established in the early 1900's for the purpose of legally-forcing toxic drugs onto everybody) can actually be safely avoided. It is true that they are good for treating broken bones/accidents in the Emergency Room sometimes; however, it is also true & noteworthy that doctors commit suicide more than any other occupation, and among doctors, the psychiatrist commit suicide the most. Perhaps their guilty conscience overrides their annual income of (approx.) one million or more dollars?

This seems like a good product. I'm putting it in capsules, taking it for my BP. Chatgpt suggested this one among some other herbs, so why not. No weird effects so far, have taken it fior a week now. It's super finely ground. That's about all I can say really. I hope it works fopr you. I've used other supplement form "Bulk Supplements" and they all seem good really

This is my first re-order of this supplement - the first was complimentary for writing a review for another supplement I have purchased from BulkSupplements. As with the Acetyl-L-Carnitine that I have been taking for about 2 years, the quality and effectiveness have been exceptional, not to say anything about the great price. Back to the Rhodiola Rosea, I selected this from a large selection of supplements that was offered by BulkSupplements based upon customer reviews of the product. The thing that caught my interest was its purported property to calm and provide focus and energy. After taking for about 2 months I did not notice anything in particular so when I went on a month long trip to China, I did not bring it with me - even though I did take all the rest of my daily regimen of other vitamins and supplements with me. That is when I noticed a difference in my mood and overall feeling of well being. Without the the Rosea I felt somewhat down and not as upbeat. I believe that it is one of those things that you don't notice a big difference when you start taking it and the overall benefits are so gradual that you don't feel it so much as your overall sense of well being increases but you do notice it when you stop taking it. Additionally, there were other purported health benefits so I will definitely continue to take Rosea.

--Be Careful with (or just plain avoid) Rhodiola, ESPECIALLY when combined with any caffeine product! --This applies doubly to those with nervous systems that are somewhat sensitive to caffeine (like me) because, in my experience, starting on day 2 where I again took the recommended dose of Rhodiola and again along with a double-cup of regular tea, within an hour or two after that my stomach was in nervous-knots, and the stimulating energy buzz I was hoping to find wasn't any better than from 3 cups of regular tea consumed within a half hour. --In addition, on a separate day, I tried a regular dose of Rhodiola without any accompanying caffeine and it did nothing; no effect. --A good rule of thumb is: if you're the type who is somewhat sensitive to caffeine (like me) such that you always avoid the too strong spike of caffeinated coffee, and instead limit yourself to a few simple cups of regular tea each morning, you'll STILL want to avoid taking Rhodiola along with tea ...but, if you're tempted to see for yourself, then go slow ...take half or less of the recommended Rhodiola dose...and if you insist on combining it with caffeine, take a half or less Rhodiola dose followed an hour later by 1 cup of regular tea (i.e., 1 bag of regular old basic Lipton tea) and see how you like that ... you can always try an increased dose the next day. I simply stopped using Rhodiola as soon as I had a "too-tight" stomach reaction. --BTW, I like some of Bulk Supplement's other products (i.e., I buy pounds of their Stevia every year--it's a fantastic safe, natural sugar/sweetener substitute).

really happy with this purchase. My only qualm would be the time it takes for delivery to Australia - apart from that, I’m very happy with this purchase. It’s that one supplement I can always rely on to switch my brain on when I need to.
