We are still having positive results with rhodiola. My one friend is gaining much more strength and flexibility and is standing up straighter than I have ever seen her in the 4 years I have been one of her caregivers. Her family has noticed also. We are doing more complicated exercises and stretches . I notice about 20% improvement now every week. I have gone back to taking 1 Swanson brand capsule at breakfast instead of taking 1/2. Sleeping better, getting alot done outside. Went to a Contra Dance (like square dancing) at the college last week and danced every dance and didn't get tired (usually do every other one and take brake in between) The cold is not bothering me as much *though I did find flannel lined jeans and wear long jons underneath this winter...keeping legs warmer is a big plus. I have about 400 fava beans in the ground now, but need alot more.
All in all. ..Rhodiola is a thumbs - up for Aunt Bean!
