Also Contains Siberian Ginseng for Additional Benefits
Also known as Siberian ginseng, Siberian Eleutherococcus supplements are made from the dried root of Eleutherococcus senticosus, a plant indigenous to China, Japan, Korea, and Siberia. Although it is a distant relative and chemically different from American and Korean ginseng, it appears to have some similar effects.
Eleutherococcus is relatively new in Western natural medicine but has been used in China and Russia for centuries. Eleutherococcus is known as an adaptogen, which means it helps restore the body’s natural balance. It is particularly useful during times of stress and helps the body resist the effects of tension and stress.
Siberian ginseng contains active ingredients called eleutherosides (similar to ginsenosides in Korean and American ginseng), which are believed to stimulate the immune system and improve stamina.
