Rhodiola Crenulata Powder | 3% Salidrosides

Rhodiola Crenulata is the superior version of all Rhodiola extracts (from my research). There are cultivated and other species grown by man, however, there is a Rhodiola species grown in Himalayan areas - and this is where the whole Rhodiola hype comes from. From my understanding, the Crenulata is what you want when shopping for this amazing anti-stress/fighting herb. It does appear to be working it’s magic, however I have a bit of experience with the actual herb in whole form from the Himalayan mountains (it’s very expensive) and I would say nothing I’ve tried elsewhere compares, not to say this extract isn’t good, because it does work, you just need to find the right dose - I do recommend it and take your time and be patient with it, it’s an excellent adaptogen to have each and everyday. I have not noticed the need to cycle or take breaks from this one, however everyone is different and you might find it useful for you yourself to do so. I take more than what’s recommended, because that’s just me - I personally take 1000mg, some days upwards of 2000mgs (everyday) in the morning alongside some of ND’s Gotu Kola and find it helpful and useful. My only wish is that I could afford more of their herbal extracts, as I find them superior and more beneficial (for me) than amino acids or anything synthesized (longevity/long term). Hope this helps, if your on the fence or considering this one - I suggest trying the Crenulata first - if this is in fact true Crenulata, it’s what you want. (I’m sure it is, ND is pretty transparent about their products and offerings). And they do work!

I am very satisfied with the product and nootropics has undoubtedly won me as a new regular customer. I order from Germany and am very satisfied with my purchase and the entire process.

Seems to deliver on a calm, clear-headed energy and slight mood enhancement that lasts the whole day. Keep this in mind because you may have trouble sleeping if you dose after noon. Great product for a great price, but I give it 4 stars because it caused me to need to sleep for much longer the night after dosing, and made waking up much more difficult.

I find this to be one of the best stimulants from ND. As noted in other reviews, taste is not the best. It is an odd flavor and if taken in powder form you will want to wash it down ASAP. But it is exactly what I expected Rhodiola Rosea to be when I have ordered that version from other sites. Rhodiola Rosea never seemed to work for me but that could be because of the quality. If you like the mental boost you get from mild stimulants give this a shot. YMMV but this has become my go to in the morning. I take about 500 mg with my tea or coffee and it seems to take about 2 hours to fully effective. As mentioned in some other reviews, make sure to check how it interacts with other components of your stack. As always, ND quality is top notch. I only get noots from ND and one other site. If this does not provide stimulation for you then I suspect you will not respond to this Rhodiola Crenulta or Rhodiola Rosea.

I've heard people compare it to coffee, but I take it alongside coffee personally. Everyone is different and be sure to take it by itself first as with any new substance! The taste is really something else.. It's like a burning tire in a horseradish field after a skunk sprayed all over it. It does kind of grow on you after a little bit though...

Before I tried it, I was afraid it would be too stimulating since it's only salidroside. However with it I got a nice Stimulation at first then a calm feeling . My BP and heart rate were perfect, I tested because I physically and mentally felt good and I was curious. It worked for first try for slightly more than a week. I haven't had more opportunities to test it longer as this is an MAOI and I have other ingredients that might interact with it. I am very happy with this product

People should really try this Rhodiola version. It's significantly more stimulating than both Rhodiola Rosea versions. In my opinion, Rhodiola Crenulata is the strongest stimulant ND carries, only bested by Tongkat 10%. The effect takes a bit to kick in (some 2~3 hours), but it lasts for almost 6 hours. It's a great substance to fight that afternoon laziness!
