Gaia Herbs Rhodiola Rosea, 60 Vegan Capsules, 60 Servings

I read about this supplement in a health magazine in an article about well-being. I'm always interested in natural and safe solutions for healthy living, so I researched Rhodiola Rosea from several websites, as to make sure a particular website wasn't creating "hype" with artificial reviews. I have tried many supplements over the years, and I can't really think of any that have actually made such an impact to where I would benefit from its use. Well... Rhodiola Rosea has finally changed this! From the first pill I took, I noticed after a couple of hours that I was very mellow and had a good sense of well-being. I felt "satisfied" with life and everything around me. I thought maybe I was having a placebo affect, so I continued for a couple days taking one pill in the morning and one right after lunch. I still notice a vast difference in my mood. I have been able to wake up without feeling bitter about the day and the anticipated stresses I have with my job. As for the energy part that some get when taking this supplement, I don't feel like I can run a marathon or anything, but as I said before, I have woken up in the mornings much easier. I think my slight improvement in energy is more from the mood-boost and sense of well-being rather than directly from the contents of the pill. Lastly, the reason I wanted to take this supplement was from the stress of my job, the stresses from being a caretaker for a family member, and a few other anxiety-driven circumstances. I can certainly see how this supplement could/can replace antidepressants. I am hoping, and I have read, that I will see a decrease in my cortisol levels from this as well. I am one that stores fat with high cortisol, and I have read in other comments that people have lost weight from the lower levels of coritsol. I will update my review in a couple of months or so to report my findings! Definitely try Rhodiola Rosea and buy this brand!UPDATE - 21 OCT 2015 (Back to the Future Day... Just sayin')Sorry to those who've asked questions and did not receive an update or reply. I didn't have notifications on.In the time since my last review, I have stopped taking the normal doses for maybe a month or two at a time. When my stress levels get high enough, I start taking the Rhodiola again. The same day I start taking it I can notice the difference, and I think to myself, “Why did I stop taking it!?” So I take the supplement for a few weeks and stop again. It seems that when I start up doses, I really notice the difference in my mood and ability to focus at work, and then I get used to the feeling so much that I don’t recognize the difference the Rhodiola is making. So I back off the doses until I feel the stress building. Hope that makes sense. As for weight loss, I haven’t seen any immediate results. I do not believe Rhodiola itself will help me lose weight, but by reducing my stress and helping me focus, it makes it much easier to make an effort to exercise more and eat healthier. If you are a stress eater like me, it is easier to not reach for a candy bar or soda when you’re overwhelmed or exhausted….or just bored. I can focus on my tasks at work for longer amounts of time which keep me from walking to vending machines for a snack. That’s about all I can say for Rhodiola. I do recommend it for minor daily stress and anxiety, when you need help to stay focused on work tasks or school, and if you are frequently exhausted (and not for stupid reasons).

These work instantly. The quality of these liquid pills are wonderful and they are an essential daily routine sleep aid. They work way better and last longer than Melatonean.

When I’m dealing with high stress or anxiety, this supplement has been one of the few things that helps me feel noticeably calmer within about 10–15 minutes, and without making me feel drowsy. I originally started using it while transitioning off my prescription anxiety medication, and now I only take it occasionally... mainly on difficult days or before something stressful like an interview or exam.The liquid inside the capsules has a semi‑sweet taste that reminds me a little of dark chocolate or a rich red wine because of the dry finish it leaves on the tongue. It’s unique, but I’ve grown to really like it, and I honestly prefer Rhodiola Rosea in this liquid form over any other type I’ve tried. These capsules have been the most effective for me so far.

I don't understand why people give a low rating because they received a damaged bottle. What does shipping have to do with the product itself? Anyway, I'm amazed at how quickly this worked for me! It's given me the energy and boost I needed to start my day. This isn't an adrenaline-type supplement; it's just enough to get you going without feeling tired and sleepy. Highly recommend!!

I am starting to sense more alertness, and more energy for things like paying attention to long posts on the computer so I can read the whole thing. I've been taking it less than a week.

I started taking Gaia's Rhodiola for stress and anxiety, but after I took it the first time I got extremely tired and fell asleep for 2 hours straight. When I woke up I had a surge of energy and did a weeks worth of work in a day. I noticed after a couple days I was feeling more anxious though, and I had a few palpitations. But I stuck it out and after about a week my body got used to it. I was then surprised to find that I was extremely happy and motivated, and noticed I was doing better in social situations (as I was very anxious before). If you are thinking about getting Rhodiola, GET THIS BRAND. It's a very natural brand with no additives like other brands and works very efficiently.UPDATE:I put this update in the comments section, and someone mentioned it might be better to put it in the original post. So if you read the comments, you'll see it there too.I stopped taking Rhodiola after about 3 weeks it made me more anxious and it made me sweat and blush more. But maybe it made me more anxious because of the latter two. These things were already a problem for me before hand. I tried it again about 6 months later to see if I really did experience that, and yes. Same thing again. Anyways, it definitely does give you more energy, I wont deny that! So if you don't already have a problem with excessive sweating and/or blushing, I should think it's still a great product.

Very helpful with focusing

I have been taking Rhodiola Rosea for over 2 years now, take one capsule first thing in the morning and one with dinner. Gaia is by far the best brand you can get since it comes in a liquid capsule, dark bottle, and is sourced from Siberia. Rhodiola should properly NOT be taken as a powder capsule which I first tried, it's much more effective as a capsule.Prior to taking Rhodiola I suffered frequent anxiety attacks, was always on edge, trouble concentrating. After regularly taking Rhodiola, the number of anxiety attacks has been reduced to near zero, I handle a stressful situation with a much lighter mood. I could finally concentrate on my studies, literally could spend all day and night studying.A warning though! In my first month of taking Rhodiola, I did suffer the worst headaches! I think a lot of this was trying to start with a larger dose right away. Definitely ease into it.I have read that a periodic break is necessary, so that your body doesn't get too used to it. I try to take a 2 week break a couple times a year. Though by the end of the 2 weeks I'm an emotional mess. Completely off-center, the anxiety comes back. So maybe this is truly necessary, though it's not a particularly swell time.Overall an amazing product, highly recommend it for anxiety, trouble focusing, and high stress levels.

ES UNA EXCELENTE RECOMENDACION

The product just works super fine. Its like a blue pill in the limitless.. But in real life a bit less. Price is a bit high. Other sites do offer a less price. I visited USA and bought 10 more bottles. Guess it costed me 3 times the quoted price here... Cheers.

Improves quality of sleep and kills fatigue improves focus

I love this product, I take two caps every morning and it helps manage stress and alleviates mood
