Planetary Herbals Schisandra Adrenal Complex 710mg With Yam Rhizome, Poria Sclerotium & More - 120 Tablets

Hello I've been taking Schizandra long enough to give it a review. I have to say I'm very happy/satisfied with the results. I work in a very stressful environment. (Long story short version) & have been dealing with chronic recalcitrant depression for many years. This stuff has even normalized my bowl movements. It has brightened my mood & increased my overall energy level. It has been very effective in helping my body process & deal with stress. I have been taking it for a little over 90 days that's the amount of time I give any herb to test it's effectiveness. I'm sure I started feeling benefits before 90 days but didn't want to give it a review earlier. The recommended dose is 2 a day. I take one in the am & one in the pm. you can play around with the dosage, maybe I should/could increase it. Anyway I highly recommend it. Check it out. What have you got to loose, it pretty inexpensive as herbs go. Thanks Norm K

I take and/or have tried a wide variety of supplements. With many there are no noticeable effects, you simply assume they are working as intended, especially if they are for a preventative use. With this supplement, I have noticed significant changes in my energy levels since taking it. How do I know? Well, I keep a daily health log and track these things. Correlation doesn't always equal causation, but its hard to argue with tracked energy level increases since taking it. Of course, everyone is different, but if you are on the fence start tracking your energy & productivity levels with a daily log and see if they improve once trying this product. The only possible downside to this product is that I have noticed more restless sleep since taking it. I take 1 capsule each morning, so again hard to say if this product is responsible. I will continue to monitor that effect. Despite having a little more trouble getting out of bed in the morning, however, once I do get up I'm ready to kick some butt. Its pretty remarkable, really. Once I try a supplement I don't always stick with it. For me, this one is a keeper though. Overall I am getting significant sustained energy increases, with no deal-breaking side effects. Caffeine can't even begin to compete.

This is a good, solid supplement for adrenal support and works well alone or in conjunction with a glandular formula. Adrenal fatigue is a very real problem in today's stressed out society. Unfortunately, western medicine has been slow to recognize that there are levels of dysfunction between normal, health adrenals and full adrenal failure (such as Addison's disease). There are several home tests that you can check, as well as certain symptoms you can observe that can point to under active or poor performing adrenal glands. You may notice nothing more than you are constantly exhausted and "running on fumes" all the time. This formula contains a collection of classic Chinese herbs that are used in Eastern medicine to support your adrenals. For me, they have been extremely helpful in helping to heal my adrenals over time. It's been about 2 years in the making for me, but I am in a much better place today on many levels. Like I said, especially in the early stages of healing your adrenals, glandular support maybe necessary as well.

I bought this exact product from a vitamin shop about a month ago. Ran out and purchased this product. It’s absolutely not the same formula as what I had before (sadly I threw away the old bottle). I’ve been taking these about a week and I could immediately tell that they weren’t the same. They did not give me the same energy as before. I wish I had my old bottle to take pictures of the differences, but the bottle I bought at the vitamin shop dosage instructions were to take: 2 pills 3 times a day. This bottle says take 2 a day. I’ve scoured the Internet and I can’t find anything that looks like the bottle I bought at the vitamin Shoppe or anything with even the same dosage instructions. Not to mention when I scour the internet I find this brand has two products with different labeling and the exact same ingredients. They have Adrenal Recharge and also Adrenal Complex. So why are there two products with the exact same ingredients labeled differently? It seems like they did a complete overhaul of their product and I bought something that was vastly different. I know it’s the same brand. I looked at the ingredients on this Amazon bottle and most all of them are the same- except one I know is missing. They took out the Asian ginseng. I believe this is what actually helped give me energy from this product. I went out and bought Ginseng and take it along with these and now it feels more like the supplement I originally bought. It gives me energy. I won’t be buying this product again though. I’m bummed about not being able to get the same product. Too bad this vitamin shop is 3 hours away from me or I would go back and buy from them again. So my overall consensus is this doesn’t do much without ginseng. Plus I’m skeptical about the difference in labeling. I uploaded both the adrenal complex and adrenal recharge. The main ingredients are the exact same.

I have been using this specific product for just about a year, and it provides the following: - A lift to energy & mood - Sharpened focus - Gives you a sense of calm and being at ease It is important to note, it requires no stimulants whatsoever and is effects the adrenal glands. Think of your fight or flight abilities, these are enhanced which allow you to cope better with things, ie stress, as it comes at you throughout the day. I personally take it first thin in the morning with 16 ounces of water and wait 30 minutes before eating, as it is only to be taken on an empty stomach or it will be ineffective. I have had no issues of upset stomach, nor has it ever made me nervous or jittery. It recommends taking two twice a day, I usually skip the evening dosage, but have occasionally taken that too and it does not keep me awake at night, for reference.
