This is definitely my new favorite supplement, along with ALCAR. Like ALCAR, it is simply amazing in its degree and scope of effects. One experiences benefits ranging from a significant mood lift, to a significant reduction in anxiety, to better pumps in the gym.
The effects of rhodiola can be felt within the first day of supplementing with it. Within a half hour to an hour of ingestion, one can begin to feel a warm sense of calm fall over oneself. Negative thoughts leave the mind and anxiety all but disappears.
This sense of calmness is accompanied by a noticeable increase in mood. It's not uncommon, for myself at least, to find myself smiling simply because I feel great both mentally and physically. Among friends, I am known to be prone to an occasional outburst of song that might be stuck in my head. With rhodiola, I find that this probability increases significantly. The body, too, feels great. An almost tingly sense of warmth and relaxation pervades the body's sense of itself.
One might assume that with the relaxation of the mind and body comes a drowsiness or decrease in alertness. I did not find this to be the case. In fact, alertness was actually increased even though I was totally relaxed otherwise.
The pump one gets in the gym seems better than usual, as well. Doing sets leads to pumps that seem harder and more swollen than usual.
I personally find that roughly 10 mg of rosavins (about 350 mg of powder) taken three times a day works very well for me. I take it in in a daily routine of 750 mg of aniracetam, 300 mg alpha-GPC, 1 gram of ALCAR, and 300 mg of chocamine, all taken twice a day.
Overall, this is a near-perfect supplement. I find myself giving giving out only the second five star score I've ever given. Granted, I've only reviewed three products, but I only review products whose value absolutely dwarfs their price.
