(Part 2) Best ginseng herbal supplements according to redditors

Red Ginseng is a great one, and pretty cheap. I am sort of on the same boat, and 2 of these mini bottles a day really helps.

Red Chinese Panax Ginseng. It’s hard to get now on the US, but it just works best for me. https://www.amazon.com/Chinese-Red-Panax-Ginseng-1200mg/dp/B00016X1GS

Come on, man, that's a bit of an exaggeration. It's worth trying for a while to see if you think it's worth it. It'll support the repair, elasticity, and sensitivity of the skin that's there. And the way the St John's Wort will support all the nerves it does absorb into will work under the surface, too, including interacting with the circulation.

Here, use this for at least a month for depression as well as a variety of other benefits:

Rhodiola

It's the most effective herbal antidepressant. Look up what else it can do, use it consistently, and give it a chance for at least a month or two. It's safe to use long term and can improve your health in lots of ways in addition to the strong antidepressant effect. Pretty good. If you try it, start with a few drops and work up to the recommended dose, and using a shot glass of water to mix it into is just right.

An overview of Rhodiola

Thanks for the replies so far. After doing some more research, I leaning towards this product for ginseng:

http://www.amazon.com/Paradise-Herbs-Ginseng-Vegetarian-Capsules/dp/B00065IABA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412526046&sr=8-1&keywords=red+korean+ginseng+paradise

It seems like a good product with a high level of standardization. I have to admit however that I wish it didn't come with a "Proprietary Blend of Synergistic Herbal Extracts", it seems a bit gimmicky to me.

I've also decided to try ginkgo biloba as well. I have heard that these two are particularly synergistic for promoting memory retention. This brand seems to be a popular and well reviewed choice:

Anyone have any experience with these brands??

I've tried Solaray Super Rhodiola with apparently no results. It's supposed to have 15 mg rosavins and 5 mg salidrosides.

I'm left wondering if Rhodiola rosea has no effect on me, or if that brand was bad.

I'm comparing 3 different ones right now. This one is cheap, many people don't like cheap but since I'm still testing a bit I will probably try this one first:

https://www.amazon.com/Swanson-Rhodiola-Ashwagandha-Adaptogen-Supplement/dp/B001PSOAWA/ref=pd_sbs_121_4/144-0245190-1103622?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B001PSOAWA&pd_rd_r=93120e5c-6e64-427a-9fff-6e846755a982&pd_rd_w=tKefw&pd_rd_wg=7KJGD&pf_rd_p=52b7592c-2dc9-4ac6-84d4-4bda6360045e&pf_rd_r=YP7EYKABY6H5YK01JTD9&psc=1&refRID=YP7EYKABY6H5YK01JTD9#customerReviews

This one's more expensive would probably be my second choice:

https://www.amazon.com/ADAPTOTRAXTM-Superior-Adaptogen-Supplements-Blend/dp/B01MRZMRWQ/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=adaptogen+blend&qid=1570850740&sr=8-6

And I also found this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Adaptogen-Elite-Synergistic-Ashwagandha-Astragalus/dp/B07GVSG2XQ/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=adaptogen+blend&qid=1570850740&sr=8-9

My goal right now is to just identify which herb is activating the l-tryptophan. It seems like the l-tryptophan is boosting serotonin precursors pre-synapse & one (or more) of the adaptogens is activating the serotonin / somehow helping it cross the synapse. I suspect the rhodiola only because 1) I haven't tested it yet by itself 2) many people talk about it on here and 3) I've tried at least half the other herbs on the bottle and am pretty sure most aren't responsible for the effect I'm getting. This is all still suspicion I need to do a bit more testing.

I can recommend 2 excellent products:

Piping Rock Ultra Energy Booster

&

Natures Way Siberian Eleuthero


I'm sure there are others but these two worked for me after years of what I can only describe as chronic fatigue. I've been taking both for 2-3 years and find they give me just the right emount of pep without making me feel crappy or jittery. I think if you took too many though, you might get jittery.

Think I found my answer.

According to the reviews, it does the exact same thing caffeine does (keeps you awake and gives you energy) but without any negative side effects like crashing. It's all natural herbal stuff too so it isn't bad for you.

What do you guys think?
