Hi everyone. Dr B put me on rhodiola today ... she said Eclectic Institute (brand) is the best but otherwise any one I I could find would do. However, the one I got (while I think it's a good brand) is only 100 mg and I see the Eclectic one is 500 mg. Should I presume that I should take five of mine for one dose?? I will email her to check, but I'd like to start taking it tonight as she wanted me to start it soon because of the flare I'm in.
Thanks,
Megan
Megan, when I first went on
Megan, when I first went on rhodiola, she told me the same thing (any brand would do). This is what I did... I ordered the Eclectic Institute brand online through iHerb.com. It would take a few days to get to me, so in the meantime, I went to the health store and got a bottle (I think Nature's Way?? Not sure what it was...) and took one of those until my Eclectic Institute came in the mail. Personally, I did notice a big difference with the two brands. I felt much more relief with the Eclectic Institute. Maybe you could order it and just take the other until the EI arrives? That is my best suggestion.
