I'm starting a trial of Rhodiola tomorrow. I am going to try 300 mg/day to start. I have some concerns after reading another post here that mine might not be a high enough potency. It is Solaray, 100 mg capsules, and the bottle says that it's only guaranteed 1 percent active ingredients (rosavins). Elsewhere I read that I should be looking for at least 4 percent. I was considering ordering it in bulk (uncapsuled) from a company called Beyond a Century but wanted to get it quickly. Here are the details there: RHODIOLA rosea, 3-5% rosavins, aka Golden or Arctic Root. Bitter taste. 500 doses, 50 grams, $10.25
Don't know how bitter it would be, but I'm willing to give it a try. What are your experiences with:
- how long rhodiola takes to work
- effect it had on your mood and energy levels
- dosage and potencyThanks in advance!
Willp.s. By the way, can anyone give direction on how to make your own capsules if I wanted to go that route?
