Bleauberry said: "You are near Sweden, so you have access to the world's best Rhodiola (SHR-5 made by The Swedish Herbal Institute in Gothenburg, Sweden, SHR-5 is called Arctic Root). It is hard to find anyone who has tried it that did not find benefit from it. It was the most amazing ultra fast acting antidepressant I ever took. Life was all downhill after I couldn't get it in the USA anymore. If you are looking for dopamine stuff, Arctic Root is in that category. A randomized double blind placebo controlled study showed significant antidepressant activity in both dose groups of SHR-5 but no activity in the placebo group after a placebo run-in."
Bleauberry, I used to love that product as well until I read the ingredients in it. My naturopath said that there was enough chemical garbage in that tablet to choke a horse. Personally, I was glad when the same company came up with Verde Botanica brand. That Mind Body & Spirit is a remarkable antidepressant.I've had on and off success with SJW but for the most part I'd recommend Rhodiola. Rhodiola has so much more uplift - when I take a capsule (I mix mine with juice) I can get results in about 10-12 minutes. It's like waking from a snooze -- I feel like I want to go do something exciting, or get some work done in my office. Anyway, SJW doesn't do that.
