Rhodiola Rosea purportedly improves libido

[Guest guest]

Doing a google search for "rhodiola libido" and "rhodiola sex drive", I've been reading that it increases libido."Rhodiola Rosea is standardized to 3% vins and 1% Salidroside. An adaptogen, Rhodiola comes from Arctic regions and has been shown to increase energy, physical endurance and well-being. Also known as "Root of the Arctic" and "Golden Root" it has been found to be effective for much more than simply raising endurance. Even in stressful environments such as extreme heat or cold and pollution it keeps the body healthy and raises perfomance levels. Rhodiola also combats fatigue, enhances memory, increases the sex drive, regulates menstrual cycles and has been used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and diabetes. http://www.evolutionhealth.com/supplements/Rhodiola_Rosea.pdf http://www.drugs.com/npp/rhodiola.htmlIf you are prone to anxiety, then Rhodiola Rosea can increase anxiety if you take too much as it increases both dopamine and norepinephrine (adrenaline).From the following links a few men say it increased their libido, but of course they most likely don't have PSSD:"Yeah Rhodiola is definitely way up there on my list. When I first started taking it I noticed quite a difference. I was more switched on and my sex drive when through the roof. It just feels like I'm more awake. "and another guy:"Anyhow, good call with the Rhodiola. I buy mine in bulk and encapsulate it. It's cheaper that way. , I found the same thing my sex drive as well. I think it has something to do with Rhodiola increasing catecholamines in the brain. http://digg.com/health/The_5_Most_Effective_Cognitive_Enhancers_Part_1_Rhodiola_rosea"I just started taking NOW brand Rhodiola Rosea just a few days ago for its stress reducing properties,.(I thought thats all it did) but I'm finding an added bonus of a mad crazy libido thats kicked into over drive just after 3 days of use...and Im only taking 2 tabs a day. I'm pretty sure its the R.R....anyone else experience this?"http://anabolicminds.com/forum/supplements/101528-rhodiola-rosea-sex.html
