Best "all-around" adaptogen?
Original post in this thread

Hi guys,
Which is the best supplement for all these goals (if it does exist): energy, focus, anxiety/overthinking and testosterone (low LH - luteinizing hormone).
Basically I can't make up my mind among: tongkat ali, cordyceps 10:1, ashwagandha (Shoden vs KSM-66) and ginseng (GS15-4 vs Panamax).
I've seen that there a lot of studies, but I'd like to know which is the best supplement according to your direct experience.
Thanks!
EDIT
Thanks guys for all the great feedbacks. It seems that the most recommended adaptogens for my goals are Tongkat Ali and Panamax ginseng.
Somebody mentioned also Rhodiola as a great all-arounder. I know that it's great for energy and focus, but I didn't see a lot of reviews about benefits for anxiety and testosterone issues.
Lastly, I think I should have added also Shilajit to the initial list, since it seems to have a lot of overall benefits.
What's your take on this, u/MisterYouAreSoDumb?

There really is no "best" one for everyone. Each person is different. Some people hate the things I love, and vice versa. I absolutely love tongkat. That's my favorite. However, others might say ashwagandha, panax ginseng, or rhodiola. It really does depend on the person.
