Should I stop all stims completely? Anything else to avoid while taking this, like ALCAR or Agmatine? Looking for mental clarity and better sleep.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Dosing on label says 1 in the AM and 1 in the PM. Don't think there's anything that may keep you awake.Is this fine to take in the evening? or is there a chance any of the ingredients can keep you awake?
Most people take it right before bed, and usually notice better sleep with it.Is this fine to take in the evening? or is there a chance any of the ingredients can keep you awake?
I believe that effect is determined by dose in Rhodiola. I've never had a stimulant effect from AdrenoSurge.You guys are actually saying that Rhodiola isn't a stimulant? That is crazy. Plus, bacopa acts as a stimulant in a lot of people as well.

I'd take it on an empty stomach.Does this need to be taken on an empty stomach or doesn't matter?
I agree. I always take supplements on an empty stomach when possible.I'd take it on an empty stomach.
you are indeed exceptional:wink1:Adaptogens will have different effects on people, but bacopa definitely energizing for me. If I, or my wife, take it after 4pm, I have trouble sleeping.
go for it!!!What's the half-life of the ingredients in here? I'm thinking about dosing 1 AM and 1 5-6 hours later mid-day.
Same here. Small doses of Rhodiola completely preclude sleep for me.Adaptogens will have different effects on people, but bacopa definitely energizing for me. If I, or my wife, take it after 4pm, I have trouble sleeping.
we already knew you were exceptional....Same here. Small doses of Rhodiola completely preclude sleep for me.
I am very interested in adaptogens and these ingredient. Do you know of any good websites or materials I could read up on to learn more?You actually are not an outlier when it comes to your reaction to Rhodiola and/or bacopa. It is well known that smaller doses act as a stimulant and larger doses are sedating. There is no getting around that. As mentioned, perhaps it is the combination that makes some people be able to take this product before bed. In any case, it really doesn't matter. I am such a huge proponent of adaptogens that I would support any company or product that is bringing it to consumers and they can make the decision of when to take it. I think they are incredibly important herbs.
matt [dsade] is one of the best formulators in the business, imo....the combination of ingredients in adrenosurge work in conjunction with one another better than individual ingredients alone...i know he did his homework on adrenosurge!!!I have actually. I was experiementing with Rhodi over a decade ago and ran it through it's paces pretty thoroughly. Large doses do cause sedation but not necessarily good sleep for me. Pretty amazing herb, all in all.
And yeah, I'm an outlier with many supplements. I do like the AdrenoSurge ingredient profile and will get around to trying it soon.
Good news Keep us posted!Took my first two doses yesterday and I can say that I experienced some mild sedative effects, very positive. The pre-bed dose did not keep me up. I think I'm going to try an AM dose and a mid-day dose for comparison.
I generally go to examine.com. They may not always get their analysis right IMO, but they at least compile all of the relevant research in one spot for ease of useI am very interested in adaptogens and these ingredient. Do you know of any good websites or materials I could read up on to learn more?
I'm on there all the time, gonna look into each ingredient a little more then. Thanks.I generally go to examine.com. They may not always get their analysis right IMO, but they at least compile all of the relevant research in one spot for ease of use
Definitely gonna look into some bulk powder once I get through adrenosurge.Rhodiola is hands down one of the best recovery herbs you can take. Stress relief, better sleep ( 6 hours feels like 8), all day energy, and recovery.
your interest has my interest peaked!!! pretty inexpensive product for what you get, imo.I may give this product a go. My interest is peaked.
Absolutely, you can also use it during a stim break to mitigate the effects of caffeine withdrawalRhodiola is hands down one of the best recovery herbs you can take. Stress relief, better sleep ( 6 hours feels like 8), all day energy, and recovery.
Great feedback, thanks for posting your experience!I just wanted to report back here with some of my progress.
The calmness that I get from this supplement is mild, but very noticeable. I really enjoy this aspect. As far as the stim tolerance reduction, what I have noticed is that stimulants aren't necessarily more effective (as in I need less to achieve the same effect); however, at the same stimulant dosage, I achieve the same focus without feeling a bit cracked out. It's sort of a calmer, "in the zone" focus and I'm not even dosing the stims near the adrenosurge. At the same time, I have decreased my total daily caffeine intake and have not felt any negatives in cognition or alertness (if anything I am more calm and alert).
I have also been noticing a small reduction in soreness from the previous days session upon my AM dose. Now, this may be coincidental, because just walking around and getting blood flow to the area after sleeping for hours may also ameliorate the DOMS. I have been dosing this in the AM and then around early afternoon or evening; I prefer this much better than pre-bed as I can enjoy the effects while I'm still awake and the calmness carries over into falling asleep.
Overall, the mood aspects of this product are great. I was not expecting the calmness I have experienced and look forward to running through the bottle.
I wonder if a higher dose (2 caps) or an extra cap spread out throughout the day would be even better?
tweak the dosing amount and times to suit your needs...a calming effect can be a good thing, imo...you just need to adjust the timing for when it is most beneficial.I have just got back from a holiday in Thailand and had a bottle of this awaiting me on my return. Need something to help my body recover from the abuse it has suffered the past 2 weeks lol. I tried a pre bed dosage and interfered with my sleep and gave me crazy dreams. I'm gonna stick to 1 mid morning and 1 early evening. So far nothing huge noticeable, however I do notice the calmness that others have mentioned
