Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 It is a physical stress adaptogen. Depending on the dosage, it can have different results, says my dr. He believes 500 mg can increase energy but 1000 mg or more can have a calming effect. I tried taking 1000 mg before bed and I was awake a lot! So I take it mid day. At Vitacost (great prices on vitamins and such), here is the write up under the Jarrow brand: Russian Root. Standardized Extract 5% vins (3% minimum vin) Physical Stress Adaptogen. Enhances Energy and Reduces Fatigue Jarrow Formulas® Rhodiola extract is made from a gold-colored root found in the mountainous regions of Eastern Siberia. Rhodiola is an adaptogen that has been used for centuries and validated for its beneficial effects on energy production and reduction of fatigue. Though there are greater than 20 species of Rhodiola, only authentic Rhodiola rosea contains vins. The term vins refers to the three active compounds rosavin, rosin, and rosarin; salidroside is not a useful marker for Rhodiola rosea. Jarrow Formulas® Rhodiola extract is standardized to contain a minimum of 5% vins, the highest potency available.
