Rhodiola is a great supplement that helps you deal with stress, and fatigue and can help you lower your blood pressure. A lot of folks take Ashwagandha for this, but in some cases, it doesn't work well for them -- Rhodiola has similar benefits and I've found I get more out of supplementing with Rhodiola personally. Ashwagandha can leave me feeling "flat" whereas Rhodiola I am more positive. I prefer that to being numb.I feel calmer and handle stress well and don't seem to get caught in negative thought patterns when I use this herb.It's also good for your Liver and has claims attached to it that it helps you control your blood sugar.This is a great manufacturer that follows strict procedures when making these. It's costlier than other Rhodiola supplements out there, but this is standardized at a correct ratio which is something you usually don't see in this supplement in my experience. They're manufactured in Austria.I've been taking these for a few days and haven't noticed any side effects and I feel pretty great mood-wise.You get a 90-day supply if you supplement with this daily. That brings the cost per month down to something reasonable if this works for you.
