Gaia Herbs Rhodiola Rosea Review 

For Stress Relief, Mental focus, Optimal Energy and Endurance

As the years passed by I started realizing that things were not coming to me as easily as it used to happen earlier. There was the work pressure, stress and more work piling up as the days passed into weeks and weeks into months. The weekend crash out parties just pushed me further into a corner.

I couldn’t keep going on like this so I started looking to improve my lifestyle through a good diet and exercise routine, but it wasn’t going to be that easy. I always felt a lack of energy and enthusiasm, especially in the morning. After going through many revitalizing drugs I found that none of them were good in the long run. It's then that I stumbled upon Gaia Herbs Rhodiola Rosea through a referral from a personal friend. He had used it for quite some time and was happy with it

I ordered it through Amazon and the delivery was prompt as usual. Before I started taking the capsules, I had prepared a good diet plan and workout schedule. I found that the best time to take Rhodiola supplements is in the morning, on an empty stomach. I felt this gave me the maximum energy boost.

I also ensure that I eat a healthy breakfast which helps me avoid unnecessary snacking before lunchtime. However, the best part was that I was able to fully focus on my work. There was a sense of energy and liveliness within me which I hadn’t felt for a long time.

Just a word of caution though. In my eagerness, I ended up taking the capsules too often. This had me feeling a little too jittery towards night time and I had trouble falling asleep. I suggest you take it slowly initially and let your body adapt to it first. In fact, after the initial round, I have started using it more sensibly and sparingly, along with a healthy diet plan and exercise.

Rhodiola Rosea is a herb that can be found in the cold mountainous regions of Russia and the Scandinavian countries. People in these regions have been using it in the raw form to treat anxiety and stress for centuries.

It contains more than 140 active ingredients of which Rosavins and Salidroside are the two main components. These are known to actively reduce stress and enhances body responses to fatigue and depression. The roots, known as the Arctic roots or Golden Roots, are also adaptogens as it helps our body adapt to stress.

In a recent study, around 60 people were given Rhodiola, placebo pills and sertraline (Zoloft) on a random basis for 12 weeks to compare the effects. While all three were more or less effective in similar ways, Rhodiola was the only one with minimal side effects and well tolerated by the recipients.
