First of all, hats off to ND & Ceretropic team esp. /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb for providing quality service(& information/Knowledge :) ). I am about to make an order for a couple of Products from ND & before placing one, I am curious to know if ND is planning to release any new products this June( Like herbal stacks) . If yes, I would hold from placing order for now.
Requesting /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb to provide comparison between ND's Rhodiola (3 % Salidrosode, 1 % Rosavin) and other top selling Rhodiola extracts like Eclectic,Gaia. Does ND's Rhodiola have other bio-active compounds like Tyrosol(seen in Super Rhodiola), Procyanidins(EGCG) and if yes what % of Tyrosol?.This will help me make a decision on purchase. Thanks very much.

Eclectic institute is a whole freeze dried powder, not an extract. It's pretty good. I've used it a few times a couple years ago with good results. Our 3% rosavin extract is most like the Gaia Herbs, which are extracts standardized to rosavin.
Our 3% Rosavin extract has 2.92% Salidroside, .77% Rosarin, 2.27% Rosavin, and .41% Rosin. I would probably characterize that one as a more balanced calming/stimulating adaptogen feeling. It does contain Tyrosol at about .25%.
Our 3% Salidroside extract has 4.24% Salidroside, .11% Rosarin, .32% Rosavin, and no Rosin. Our testing has shown that extracts with higher Rosavins are more sedating. So this extract is the opposite, and is more stimulating than other extracts. It also contains Tyrosol, but at a higher amount of about .5%. This one will be the most similar to Ceretropic's Super Rhodiola.
Extracts of Rhodioa Rosea do contain Procyanidins based around EGCG. However, we did not test for them in our analysis.
We are not going to be releasing any herbal stacks soon. However, next week we are releasing 5 new fish oils. They are going to be a pure krill oil, a 90% wild Alaskan salmon/10% krill oil mix, A triple strength balanced EPA/DHA fish oil, a 70% EPA fish oil, and a 70% DHA fish oil. They are all Friend of the Sea certified sustainable, and USDA certified Organic. So those are the new releases for this month.
