RE: Re: Hormone evaluation with Dr G

[Guest guest]

After a couple of false starts, I settled on Vitacost’s house

brand, NSI:

http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Rhodiola-Rosea

Even with the shipping cost, you pay only $29.95 for a four

months (120 days) supply. If you use the “Autoship!†feature, you get automatic

shipments and a 5% discount. If it weren’t a good brand, it wouldn’t be worth

it, but it is, and it’s nearly the least expensive Rhodiola rosea you can buy.

I take one capsule in the morning before I eat (with my thyroid

medicine, actually) and another around 1:30 in the afternoon. I try to take

that one on an empty stomach too, but it doesn’t seem to matter that much. I

had results in less than a month (actually, I think it was 17 days), and since

then, I’ve had the energy to not only join a gym (first time in my life) but

also to go every day. I just can’t say enough good things about it.

What brand to you get and how much do you take daily?

Re: Re: Hormone evaluation with Dr G

The product also has Rhodiola

which is what is referred to as an adaptogen - it helps to normalize your

cortisol whether it is too low or too high. There's lots of research on

this one - here's one good article:
