"Golden Root" I've finally found something that works!!!

You may l find that 500 mg is too much, these herbs not only have very different effects on different people (with a meal, without meal too, different brands=different results), but dosage can also change the experience in a very important way. More is not necessarily better, smaller quantities in each caps allow for fine tuning .
The brand I use is also 3% 1%, the origin of the plant may be important too (different soil and climate often mean different composition of the herb).

Yes, I read that in some of the reviews. I will be taking it with breakfast and paying attention to any negative signs.

Cool. This is a website worth reading when it comes to supplements: Rhodiola Rosea Health benefits, dosage, safety, side-effects, and more | Supplements - Examine.

This was an interesting read too Rhodiola Rosea – Review | medicinal mushrooms - backgrounds and monographs.

I must confess that I had my most vivid nightmares ever after taking rhodiola on an empty stomach before bed and while being anxious. It was the one and only time it happened. As with most of these herbs it may be better to cycle it. I use it as a special treat.

I always took mine within an hour of waking up. Sometimes maybe because with taking GB caps at the same time time, my stomach would get a bit queasy. But eating a few crackers would make that subside. Now that you mention dreams, I do recall to be dreaming more often or at least remembering dreams more, but no nightmares. Maybe due to taking much earlier in the day. For me, it doesnt seem to matter what time of day I take it and I take my whole 500 mg (2 caps) in the morning rather than splitting them up. I never felt any effects soon after taking them, it seems to just take about 10 days. If I missed a day, I still had the good effects from daily consumption. It just needs to be in your system for a while.

Have you had any improvement yet?

You are aware that often black market Viagra has been found in some of these formulations.

No it’s a single herb not a blend and it is not advertised as an erection enhancer.

I posted earlier today in another thread about Rhodiola. Here it is:

Rhodiola is considered to be an SSRI, which can cause sexual dysfuntion.

“Although selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are frequently prescribed1 and are better tolerated than older antidepressants, side effects such as sexual dysfunction limit patient acceptance of these medications.”

What formulations? This is a single herb/root powder. Also in my case it took 10 days to notice anything while Viagra has immediate effects. I know that some blends of supplements hide such ingredients but this is an age old remedy that has been in use for many centuries.

All I know is I was experiencing "Dysfunction" before hand and RR has given me back function. I guess it would depend on your symptoms. Such as if your young and trying to just boost sexuality this may not have a positive effect on you. I did a pretty in depth self diagnosis on my symptoms and was led to trying RR. I had the desire for sex so it wasn’t looking like a testosterone problem. I went about the path of circulation and found this product to bring me back to a younger more virile self. SO I would say be sure you self diagnose yourself correctly and then seek the best path to relieve your symptoms. I stand by this product and I dont think anyone could sway me from it. Ive done alot of research trying to find side effects both short and long term and had not found anything that pertains to me.

For what it’s worth some of these formulations have been found to have Viagra in them, unknown to the consumer.It is listed on the FDA website. One NY hospital had six deaths in a short period of time all related to an herbal supplement that besides herbs had 150mg of Viagra in them. The man who sold it is in jail for a long time.

That’s cool, im not trying to sway anyone from it just saying know what you’re getting into. It seems you’re pretty self aware, as am I but some others may just run out to get RR that might be in a different state tham you and it might actually do more harm than good.
More power to you Dawg if it’s working for you.

Formulations? They all are formulations unless you think these herbs just bind themselves together and come in pill form. Something has to bind them; something has to coat them.

Oh yes in that case I suppose your correct. Since we are being technical, anything you take with H2O is an actual “Formula!” But that is not the point, I don’t believe this brand I talked about has Viagra in it unless Viagra takes 10 days to kick in.

I’m more than 2 months into it and am just starting to cycle it. To date there are 0 negative side effects.
