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

Hello everyone! I’ve been a member of this site for about 13 years now and although I haven’t posted in such a long time I have always periodically returned to keep up on info.

I have seen many post started by people who have certain issues and are about to try something new, and keep the community up to date on progress. I thought of doing the same, but I was always irritated when the post just abruptly ends with no real reports on how their new journey is going. So I decided to just wait and go through my trials and then report a declaration of my own.

First of let me say that I am 46 years old, probably 25 pounds overweight and a smoker which contributes to my problems. My problem was that I was that for years it seems like my EQ was getting worse and worse. Eventually it got to where during sex I would lose my erection even though I was completely in the mood. Little by little after time it seemed like it was taking much longer to become aroused and maintain an erection.

So I decided it is time for me to change my lifestyle for one, and also find some supplements that would put the lead back in my pencil. Now I knew working out and quitting smoking would help, but I wanted to use supplements for assistance, herbal if possible. My thing was what if I begin working out and using supplements at the same time, would my progress be from living healthier, or because of the supplements?

S I decided that I would start with the supplements to see what I could find that would work for me. I’ve tried things in the past such as L-argenine, L-citruline, Yohimbe, Catuaba bark, AAKG, Horny goat weed, Panax Ginseng and many others with no real effects that I could tell. So in having tried so many things, I was ready to give up on them but I read somewhere in one of the past posts that supplements don’t affect everyone the same and that one should just keep trying until you find the right combo that works for you. So given my situation in the last year or so, I decided to try many new things.

I found a standardized extract of Ginkgo biloba from Natures Bounty that helped me with more energy and seemed to widen out my veins a little more. I loved the energy; it was a good “Clean” energy not like that Yohimbe crap! So I was like “Cool I found my base supplement!” I then tried Maca, and tribulus which had no effect on my at all! Now I will say I probably should have tried different brands and in the future I may try a different brand of both again for I hate to discard something that just may help but from a different brand.

Ginkgo helped me, but it wasn’t enough for where I wanted to be which is ease of erections and maintaining an erection through sex. I then decided to give Tongkat Ali a try. I have heard from many it is very powerful but you have to get it from the right source etc. It cost me about $70 for a 4 week supply! I used it almost completely but discarded it when I had about three days left! I was disappointed but not deterred from searching. In a way I kind of am happy it didn’t work because I didn’t want to have to spend that much on one supplement.

I then came across a post where people were talking about Tongkat Ali and one person said they thought “Golden Root” may trump TA. I had never heard of Golden root before so I decided to research it. Its actual Name is Rhodiola Rosea. It’s a powdered root from the arctic. The original post I was reading didn’t lead into anyone trying it or adding much more info on it. I did some research to find other forums on the subject but really couldn’t find much on it besides one guy on Web MD who gave it great reviews.

I purchased a bottle of Swanson’s Rhodiola Rosea extract which was about $20 including Shipping on ebay. I took two pills every day after waking up with one capsule of Ginkgo Biloba 120 mg standardized extract. I first noticed more energy. Good clean energy with no fidgeting or shakiness or racing pulse. Then in about 10 days I began to feel the effects sexually. I was getting erection pretty easily and also maintaining them through sex. I also noticed that I was ready for more sex in about 30 minutes and could go another turn yay! During the day I would get random chubbies without even really thinking about sex! They weren’t totally hard but I wasn’t trying to get hard especially at work haha.

After my bottle of RR was gone, I bought a cheaper version that offered more pills. Big mistake! It was supposed to be the same strength but did absolutely nothing for me even after 3 weeks! I slowly started to regress to the dead dick blues again so I got another bottle from Blue Bonnet. In about 10 days I was back to feeling like I was 28 again.

I know there are a lot of you guys who are looking for something to work but it seems nothing really is. I used to scoff at posts where guys were saying they bought something and it worked great but didn’t do squat for me! Let me tell you I stand by this product! I can’t believe it isn’t being talked about more! If you’re searching for something affordable and that actually works try the Blue Bonnet brand of Rhodiala Rosea! It truly is the “Golden Root!’ For me at least it is. I will use GB and RR for the rest of my life I am sure! I do appreciate where I am now, but I may try Maca again just for a little over the top boost for special nights. But I do appreciate that guy who mentioned RR and that I found the post! It’s changed my life and if you’re in need I hope it does the same for you! I haven’t posted on this site in more than 10 years, but I knew when I had these results I felt it a duty to share. I’ve learned a lot from Thundersplace and feel the need to contribute back from what I’ve received. Good journey to you all!

By the way here is a few links to what I’ve been taking. I think the overall effects are from the Golden root not so much from the Ginkgo, however it was a help to me.

Here is what Web MD says about Golden Root Rhodiola rosea

“Rhodiola is a plant. The root is used as medicine.

Rhodiola is used for many conditions, but so far, there isn’t enough scientific evidence to determine whether or not it is effective for any of them.

Rhodiola is used for increasing energy, stamina, strength and mental capacity; and as a so-called “adaptogen” to help the body adapt to and resist physical, chemical, and environmental stress. It is also used for improving athletic performance, shortening recovery time after long workouts, improving sexual function; for depression; and for heart disorders such as irregular heartbeat and high cholesterol.

Some people use rhodiola for treating cancer, tuberculosis, and diabetes; preventing cold and flu, aging, and liver damage; improving hearing; strengthening the nervous system; and enhancing immunity.

Rhodiola is native to the arctic regions of Europe, Asia, and Alaska. It has a long history of use as a medicinal plant in Iceland, Sweden, France, Russia, and Greece. It is mentioned by the Greek physician Dioscorides as early as the first century AD.

Some people use the term “arctic root” as the general name for this product; however, arctic root is actually a trademarked name for a specific commercial extract.

How does it work?

Rhodiola extracts might help protect cells from damage, regulate heartbeat, and have the potential for improving learning and memory. However, none of these effects have been studied in humans.”

Nice post, dawgbone. It seems to have had a good effect for you. I added the URL for the webmd stuff, please if you are adding more include the URL for quotes.

Thank you momento and yes I will! By the way I forgot to mention the two Golden root capsules I take daily equal 500 Mg. The gentleman on the Web Md giving the only feedback for ED said he was taking 500 in the morning and 500 at night and it cured his ED! I take half of that.

Good info mate. Unfortunately I think thats a banned supplement in Australia. Bloody backward country this is.

Thanks for sharing with us man.

Nothing of the kind you mentioned Rhodiola is available in fact I got hold of 1kg from China 10.1 sometime back now it is finished.
As far as ginkobiloba such trees is available from Melbourne, Adelaide to Brisbane many hav it in their garden yet they do not know it .

I’ve enjoyed using Rhodiola a few times, I use the one from therootofthematter, they also have quality maca . It is an excellent adaptogen. You need to check the % of rosavins and salidrosides, different brands have very different effects it seems.
I’ve tried ginseng, maca (maca monster from the root of the matter is good), siberian ginseng, ashwagandha (the one from gaia herbs, jarrow’s may be better) , tongkat ali (turned out to be ashes, don’t buy this crap there are 0 reliable brands). Rodhiola is the best for me (adaptogen seem to work quite differently depending on who takes them), it gives a good boost when you’re tired, too stressed etc..
Ashwagandha is an other popular adaptogen.

Thanks for sharing by the way and good news you found something which helps, I’m off to ingest some rhodiola . :)

How much of the ginko biloba are you taking daily?

Thanks for your post. I am going to try your stuff out, but in the doses recommended by WEBMD since I am a good twenty years older than you.

Tell us how about what you have accomplished gym wise with your weight and smoking. Those two things are biggies too for health.

Your statement that confidence is everything goes a long long way for us as men emotionally and mentally in this battle of staying potent and in the game sexually.

Thanks for sharing bro.

Definitely give it a try but I recommend the brand I gave the link for. I began taking 240 mg of GB but once I got the RR I stepped down to 120 MG a day. I am thinking of going back up to 240 just to see if any increase. The guy on Web MD said it began to work right away but I was taking half the amount and it took about a week and half for me to notice. I mean I like effects that you don’t have to wonder if its working, it lets you know its working without even thinking about it! As for the gym and smoking I am just beginning that adventure. I wanted to be sure that the supplements were in fact working and not just because I was exercising and all.

And yes! one thing I’ve learned in my time is that women love a confident man! Regardless of size, weight, looks etc.

The brand I use has 3% rosavins and 1% salidrosides

I am going to give it a try. I ordered the Now brand of Rhodiola and it is a 500 mg capsule also with 3% rosavins and 1% salidroside and over 400 reviews from iHerb.

I think a big part of finding out what works is taking notice what your symptoms are. I believe Tribulus didn’t work for me because I went to the Dr few years ago and he said my hormone levels were fine. So I leaned towards my problem may have been circulation. I was pretty athletic back in my day and I do still have a muscular build at 240 pounds. But one thing I noticed back then and to this day is that my veins were much thinner than most other guys. Although I was the 3rd fastest guy in my class for the 50 yard dash, I was usually one of the last in line when running the mile. Although erections were no problem back then, such a problem was bound to happen once I became less active and of course smoking for 30 years.

I don’t know what effects this stuff has on guys much younger, but I just cant say enough about this product and brand! I was on the verge of asking the doctor for Viagra or Cialis but now I have absolutely no need! I’ve searched a long time and tried alot of different things. I have found my holy grail and if you try it I hope it does the same if not more for you!

Good luck! Hope it does you well! If it doesn’t work, try the brand I posted the link for. I tried other brands that had more Mgs and more pills that were a little more expensive, but they did nothing for me, I totally regressed back to where I was before. I wont stray from Blue Bonnet again! Please share your results, This stuff needs more exposure!
