The Effects of an Acute Dose of Rhodiola Rosea on Endurance Exercise Performance

[p5sky]

Stick around here long enough and you'll realize everything is the best to someone.

Creatine?!?!?! You make it sound to be a hyped product. I bet it is used 95% of strength/bodybuilders and it is backed by studies. It may not work for 100% of people, but it is a staple for a reason.

Most may not even acknowledge it as part of a supplement stack because it is a staple along with fish oil and a multi-vitamin.

What are you getting so excited about? I am not bad mouthing creatine and never said it doesn't work. I said I don't care for it.

Settle down.

Are you guys taking Rhodiola on "off days" also or only before workouts?

 

[kisaj]

Every day. I use it as an adaptogen and not a preworkout.

Cool! When you take it on the "off days", are you taking it with or without food?

 

[kisaj]

I take it without. I found that it can take hours to have effect if I take it with food.

This is an ingredient I don't have much familiarity with, but its inclusion is certainly interesting in Compete. I'll have to look into it more.

I have the Now Rhodiola 500mg, how much should I take? So far I have been using 1 cap (500mg) and don't know if it's any point to do more?

lol, I saw left hook had the same question

Try it and see, it's not going to hurt you. Some people are very sensitive to Rhodiola and others not so much.

I am back to Gaia brand and their 120mg pill is way more effective for me than others 250-300mg with the same 3:1 ratio. So, even brands are different.
