> I've never tried Rhodiola, but I have heard good things about it. I have heard that too high a dose causes insomnia. There are some different herbs out there, like ginseng, that may help with energy, but I like to stick to a cocktail of vitamins and minerals because these substances are what your body needs and uses all of the time. Some amino acids might help with energy if you are deficient in them. You'd probably have to be tested for amino acid levels to know which ones would help. Tyrosine and phenylalanine are two that might help with energy, but it's hit or miss. In some people they work great, in others they may work for a little while then "poop out" and you're back to square one. For me, I never did well on amino acids, so I just leave them out of my nutritional regimen.
Thanks Lao,
I was thinking of taking fish oil + a multivitamin + Rhodiola. What do you think?
