I started on SJW five days ago but having read all the posts on here I think it's probably not the one for me. I've bought some Rhodiola Rosea now and keep reading conflictin dosage reports. I've got 'Natural Options Rhodiola Rosea' and the container says to take one per day after food. Each capsule provides 75mg Rhodiola Rosea Root powder. I read some research and it said to take 300mg a day so I'm confused. Also I'm not quite sure what standardisation means and whether I've got it! Please help - I need something that's going to pick me up pretty quickly as I dont know how much more of this I can stand.

Bit concerned as I came to work today without any and dont know if I'm going to crash. This site is very helpful and just flicking back to it every now and then over the past week or so has been very helpful to me. I've a long way to go yet but thanks everyone.

I have been able to sleep for the first time for a week but I just feel sick all day long and can't wait to get back under my covers as soon as I get home. I bought some Solgar yesterday but I dont know if I'm stupid or something as I cant work out how much is in them. It says standarised Rhodiola Root Extract 250mg (1% salidroside 40% polyphenols) but then under that is says Rhodiola Root Powder 100mg. Which is it? It says 1 to 3 daily with meals. I haven't eaten properly for a fortnight though - will that matter?

I found this to be an excellent combination.
