Customer Reviews of Planetary Formulas Full Spectrum Rhodiola Rosea Extract, 327 mg, Tablets, 120 tablets
Customer Review: Help for easing the high altitude sickness
Summary: 5 Stars
I do a lot of high altitude hiking in the SoCal and Eastern Sierras. Every time I went to Mt. Whitney or other 14ners and 13ners, I have different levels of altitude sickness. After trying the Rhodiola Rosea, it helps my breathing a lot above 12000 feet, this is the elevation level I start to feel my breathing. The light headed feeling, can't catch up the breath and energy loss.
It also helps my recovery from strenuous workouts and hiking, especially when I do 20+ miles dayhikes.
Since it's pretty safe, I usually take double/triple dosage when doing strenuous high elevation hikes to make sure I can minimize the high altitude sickness.
The herb is highly used in Tibet for the same high altitude sickness reason.
Highly recommend to people that have discomfort at high elevation.
The price went up to $22.26 ? I paid $16.31 per bottle just few weeks ago.......
a 36.5% increase ? Seems like another other brand Solaray Super Rhodiola is a much better value.
Customer Review: it works
Summary: 5 Stars
This herb really does increase energy levels, but with no side effects, no jitters, no sleeplessnss. Quite amazing stuff.Customer Review: 5 days in, it's great. EDIT: 1 year later, meh
Summary: 3 Stars
Noticed the effects immediately, and haven't seen a significant drop in effectiveness since then. If you read this review in 30 days or so and I haven't updated with a fuller story, add a comment and I'll see that and update.
-- UPDATE August 19, 2010 --
So as you can read in the comments in this review, the initial perceived effects of sustained attention and lack of fatigue wore off within a couple months, and could well have been placebo effect. On the other hand, there were no negative effects, so if you've read about this herb online and you want to see if it works for you, I can't dis-recommend this item.
For reference: I have not tried any other brands or preparations.
Customer Review: Barely Noticeable Effect
Summary: 2 Stars
Rhodiola works great. When I ran out of MIND BODY & SPIRIT, I picked this up and a couple of other brands as well. Couldn't get the same Rhodiola lift out of it. While another reviewer has good luck with it, I think that may be because she hasn't tried anything else. This product just doesn't have much going for it. I had to double up on the dosage to get any noticeable effect.
