Question on this Product: Rhodiola Rosea Extract Powder | 60 Grams | 3% Salidroside

Original post in this thread

Staragox · 3 points

I ordered the product in the title line on Amazon from Nootropics Depot (you were the seller), and I noticed that you sell a different Rhodiola extract that does not have Rosavins.

I was wondering if the Rhodiola Rosea Extract Powder that is 3% Salidroside, does not have the Rosavins removed?

What they were answering

By the way, I tried to start another topic that asked a question on this company's product line. A very simple question asking what an extract of 1 to 10 means or 1 to 100 means, and AGAIN it stated I am posting spam. I never understood what the 1 to 10 and 1 to 100 means exactly, even though I been buying herbs for decades.

Can someone who works at Nootropics, who is reading this comment, get one of your computer programmers to FIX your bot. I went to college for Computer Engineering and Computer Science, and I don't want to offend anyone, but a computer program that pretty much states everything is spam is an example of some type of computer programming error usually.

Also the reason I wanted Rhodiola Rosea is that Salidroside has been scientifically tested to help provide protection for the flu, and Rhodiola Rosea also contains Rosavins that help with brain activity and memory. I have no interest in herbs for muscles or exercise, I am mainly interested in herbs that might prolong life or help with increasing brain activity or memory. Rhodiola Rosea seems better suited for helping with the brain, in addition to providing protection against the flu (that may or may not help with this coronavirus going around). I also purchased Elderberry from another company, since on PubMed, there were tests done that showed some promise in helping with the current coronavirus.…

Sorry for the confusion. The bot is not broken, though. It's doing its job. It just limits people from posting without enough comment karma. That's there to prevent spam accounts. It's just that your account doesn't have a lot of comment karma. So you are getting caught. I'll go up-vote some of your comments to get your number up. You can always message us via modmail to approve your posts if they get caught.

So a 10:1 extract means that you use 10kg of raw plant to make 1kg of finished extract. Generally extraction ratios are based on the amount of raw material that goes into making it in relation to the finished product. Most of the time we try to avoid extraction ratios as our standardization, as it is more scientific to pick an active ingredient in the plant and set a % standardization for that. However, that is not always possible. Either the reference standards don't exist, or we are standardizing to a grouping of things that vary over time. So listing the extraction ratio is the best way for some of those. The two that come to mind are our 10:1 lemon balm and 20:1 polygala. Both have a lot of things in them that get concentrated, and not all have reference standards that we can use to set % standardizations for.

I also purchased Elderberry from another company, since on PubMed, there were tests done that showed some promise in helping with the current coronavirus.
I am interested in antioxidants and the antioxidant activity rating (whatever the correct term is, I forget), because antioxidants could possibly prolong life. I will probably eventually buy Rhodiola Crenualta, because I like making a herbal mix containing many different antioxidants and herbs / spices, that may contain something that will improve your health and longevity, provide protection against diseases, and help with memory and brain activity as you get older (keep it at the same level).

It sounds like the crenulata is the one for you.

Polygala and Rhodiola Rosea together

Replying to Translation333 · I wanna know the same answer. /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb can you help here?

Always speak to your doctor about combos with prescription drugs. That being said, I have not heard of any averse interactions from people. There is a study showing that one of the compounds in it, rosiridin, is an MAOI.

Yes, polygala is safe with stimulants. It's not a strong DRI. The same goes for herbal MAOIs. They are always reversible MAOIs, and usually not very strong. The issue comes from strong irreversible MAOIs and combinations
