Best source for capped Rhodiola Rosea

by **Will** on Thu Dec 17, 2009 9:47 pm

I ran out of RR and during these long nights I find it helps keep me more alert and less tired in the winter months.

Where's the best place to get it in capped form? It's too much of a hassle getting it in powder and having to measure it out and I like to have it wiht brekkie and with lunch.

Unless you can suggest alternative herbs that offer similar properties? I really responded well to RR I must say., but I'm all ears.

what MGs are you looking at.

I use the reflex one as I know the quality will be good. Have BSD not capped RR yet?

I've always gone for around 250 with brekkie and 250 with lunch.

No, but they need to *nudge nudge* Same for Res & COQ10

@Will: remember, that it's best to cycle herbals like RR. Month on, 2-4 weeks off. In the 2-4 weeks off choose another herbal like Holy Basil. The body adapts you see so you'll get better results this way

Scott, RR is one of the few that you don't need to cycle.

by **health4ni** on Fri Dec 18, 2009 10:54 am

Yes, you're right. I did know that; I've even said it here before! :lol:

oh dear

Still, it wouldn't do any harm to cycle it with something like Holy Basil imo

I never take them for too long at a time but don't quite do it so rigidly, it's often when I run out and can't be bothered to order more, that said, I do invariably end up cycling it as a result. I really do get a good result from RR but happy to try other herbal remedies as recommended.

Where's the best place for holy basil and what amount would you recommend for me?

Planetary Herbals from iherb. 1x450mg cap twice a day in am & midday like RR.

I've been measuring out mine on my digi scales. Magnesium, trib and RR slammed down with green tea. The magnesium and warm water really helps the herbs go down without much sticking.

Has your Magnesium got a sweet taste to it?

by **Karlos** on Fri Dec 18, 2009 11:49 am

yes, ever so slightly, why?

by **Alex** on Fri Dec 18, 2009 12:25 pm

Just making sure my taste buds aren't mad.

lol oh, thought you were gonna say mp has been selling faulty batches full of dextrose fillers or something!

by **Alex** on Fri Dec 18, 2009 2:31 pm

Heh, maybe they're using dex as a filler...

That was made in jest before you start sending me letters...

I used biotests RR and really rated it i think it was like 15% extract so much higher than the regular 3%

Wow! What was your dosage on that?

by **exclusive** on Mon Dec 21, 2009 11:40 pm

1-2 caps waking 1-2 afternoon just dependant on how i was feeling, used it while dieting for the show and felt loads less ratty, used the last bit on show day as was feeling tense and got 2 hours sleep really kept me going not sure what would have happened if i didnt have a few caps left of it, really should try and get it again, got it ridicularly cheap like 12.99 from cyber checkout a while ago but they never got it in since i must have had the only bottle they had.

by **health4ni** on Tue Dec 22, 2009 11:52 am

isn't their 15% extract just the way they manipulate the numbers? or is that actually 5 times more potent than any other RR product out there?!? KP??

by **cleaver** on Tue Dec 22, 2009 12:40 pm

biotest RR is 15% rosavins but only 100mg per cap.

This makes it the same as 500mg @ 3%

by **exclusive** on Thu Dec 24, 2009 4:30 pm

Still not bad for 60 caps at 12.99 im the bargin hunter
