Rhodiola Rosea Powder | 3% Rosavins

Great product. Provides a mood boost and a mild waking effect, similar to caffeine but less stimulating and doesn’t cause a crash. Great to use midday to keep your brain going til the end of the day

i buy powders to dose myself out on my own depending on how much i want to take. that was a mistake here. it tastes okay. kind of rosey or floral flavor coming from wood and then a mild earthy smell that when tasted is extremely bitter almost like it was scorched and burnt. again, the problem is not the flavor. its once you take it your mouth is left with an after taste because the powder becomes sticky and its very bitter. so it sticks to every corner and crevice in your mouth. i dose this and chew gum directly after and it takes at least 15 minutes to get the taste out of my mouth with a piece of peppermint gum. thats how strong it is. i dont want to take away stars because it is effective if you can get past the taste. i went ahead and bought the caps instead because i found i was taking between 500mg-1000mg and the result of dosing myself out is not worth dealing with the taste. it may be okay for some, and a few may actually like it. for me it was a deal breaker and ill never buy the powder again. the caps are the smart move on this one for me.

I've tried a ton of nootropics over the last 10 years and nearly all of them fell short of expectations. This particular supplement exceeded my low expectations and has gained a place in my weekly routine. I take it as-needed and it chills me out while giving me mental clarity & energy. It also somehow eases being uncomfortable in social situations so I find myself more talkative after taking about 150mg. Important note: you'll need to mess with the dosage to find what works for you. For me, higher doses (~300mg) made me kinda sleepy and blasé but lower doses in the 100-200mg range give me a bit of energy. Its an interesting noot, definitely worth trying especially because the price is unbelievably low here at nootropics depot. Very low risk for a potentially great reward. Thanks for reading!

I get a great mood boost from this stuff, it’s especially useful when I need energy but don’t want to consume more caffeine in the afternoon. Also good for pre workout. I need atleast 1g to get benefits from it though. Far superior to the 3% salidrosides extract which was pretty much inactive for me. Not suitable for daily use in my experience though.

I was expecting the worst, but got the best.

Cost effective.

This is the single thing that has made cycling off of caffeine a doable experience instead of a horror show where I can barely run my life in the interim. I've only taken a 75mg-100mg daily dose so far, will continue experimenting with the dosage to see what seems optimal. Incredible tool. Also, stay hydrated with this!

Last time I stopped taking rhodiola because it had turned into a massive rock at the bottom of the container, I went for about 10 days without it, in midterms madness and flu season. Got the flu, was sick as everyone, borderline pneumonia. This baby arrived, and after 2 days of taking it, pretty much everything was gone. Just 250mg in the morning will keep you in good shape. I found no need to dose it twice a day, except when it first arrived and I was sick. Necessary as a part of your daily stack, for sure.

I have taken 250 mg per day for 29 days. I felt a benefit after a week. I felt "better in myself", better mood, more able to do what I wanted to do and feel good, more relaxed and less cautious. It's hard to describe and be specific but I definitely found it beneficial. The powder tastes very bitter so I wouldn't recommend putting directly in your mouth. I add it to 50 mls water and leave to dissolve, it takes about 10 mins, then stir and drink. Best to take on an empty stomach I believe, so I take it before bed. Weighing it out every night is cumbersome so I figured a way to do this in advance. I don't know how to add this to capsules at home so I thought of making little sachets. I use sugar sachets, open them carefully, empty the sugar out and add the weighed rhoseola powder to the bag, fold over the top and seal with a paper clip. I weigh out 14 at a time and put them in a small container. Then each night I open one bag, tip it into a glass of water and drink. I save the empty bag and paper clip to reuse. I highly recommend this product.

Claiming rosavins as "ineffective" is a bit misguided (mis)communication, as they are not effective *stimulating* compounds. But they *are* effective adaptogens, and this extract really shows how that part of rhodiola shines. I promise, no shill, it's just all truth. I think using this 2:1 with rosavin:salidroside extract is optimal, if not 3:1 (rosavin extract being the more prominent component in the formula). Salidroside is too much on its own, at least for me. Potential headache zone, like my experiences with Super Rhodiola from Ceretropic. Focusing on tyrosol and salidroside was surely a mistake there. But this customization factor that nootropicsdepot has introduced into the Rhodiola arena has really stepped up the game against the competition (Solaray, Nature's Answer, New Chapter, Gaia herbs, etc).
