I've been taking them first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach with my big ass bottle of tea. **I've discovered that consuming the Adaptogens as a tea is a whole lot more of a *Nootropic experience***. I've begun starting my mornings with a tea that is equal parts of the three powdered herbs. This earthy, fruity yet hearty-tasting tea energizes me within about 15 minutes of drinking it. The Adaptogen tea buzz seems to last a couple of hours and has a positive effect on mood. This has replaced my morning cup (or two) of coffee that I usually need to wake up, it's been almost a week now since I had coffee and I've yet to experience caffeine withdrawals that I usually do when I cycle off coffee. **The first distinctive thing is the taste**, it's quite pleasant, at least compared with other supplements and smart drugs. Rhodiola Rosea tastes a bit like roses as its name would suggest. It seems to congeal and stick in your mouth until you slosh some water (or tea) around to wash it down. **The subjective experience** of Adaptogens is quite subtle compared to other smart drugs I've used. My extensive reading on the Adaptogens has led me to believe that they are more of a long-term health and longevity strategy than instant satisfaction performance enhancers. I don't feel significantly more energized, focused, or motivated while dosed. One thing I've noticed is that I'm waking up earlier feeling more energized, I seem to wake up before my alarm consistently. As an otherwise healthy, 30-year-old "young man" (as the little, old women in the shops here in Eastern Europe endearingly call me) I just don't think I have a lot of health issues to fix. [In my Ayahuasca video](https://www.limitlessmindset.com/blog/645-biohackers-should-be-skeptical-of-psychedelics#Jonathan-Ayahuasca), I talked about how I didn't throw up even after taking multiple cups of the psychoactive brew. My hypothesis is that since in the weeks leading up to the ceremony I maintained a super clean diet, I just didn't have enough toxins in my system that the Ayahuasca needed to purge. I suspect the same reason is maybe why I'm not experiencing anything really acute from the Adaptogens. ## **What is Rhodiola Rosea?** > This adaptogenic herbal stimulant has been used as an energy-boosting agent in Russia and China for centuries. It balances the autonomic nervous system, enhancing stress-management capacity along with empowering the immune system and combating fatigue. > Having read a couple of books and innumerable studies about herbal adaptogens, I can name Rhodiola as the best herbal adaptogen. If you want to take one herb to enhance your overall health, this is it.
