Chinese healers have prized eleuthero — or Eleutherococcus senticosus, also known as Siberian ginseng — for thousands of years. Though it’s not exactly “true” ginseng, it possesses adaptogenic properties and has a well-established reputation as an energy enhancer and brain booster. Recent research reveals it does a lot more. Let’s take a closer look at this powerful herb.
Before science took its modern form, healers knew from experience how eleuthero supported health and healing. Today we know it contains powerful phytochemicals like sterols, coumarins, flavonoids, and polysaccharides. Each of these compounds has unique healing potential. When combined, they increase oxygen availability at the cellular level, encouraging blood flow, immune response, and antioxidant effects that protect your DNA.
If you're looking for an energy pick-me-up, eleuthero may be something to consider. It's been shown to increase endurance by 23 percent.[1] It also can improve both mental and physical stamina in cases of mild fatigue and feelings of weakness.[2] Eleuthero can even reduce the effects of stress.
When you take eleuthero, you’ll have more energy. But as it turns out, energy is only one of its benefits. Here are additional benefits attributed to it.[3, 4, 5, 6]
There are a lot of eleuthero supplements on the market. When looking for the best one for you, make sure to check for purity. Also, make sure you buy from a trusted source as some products may include additives. I personally recommend Ginseng Fuzion™ as it combines the power of eleuthero with Korean ginseng, Indian ginseng (ashwagandha), Peruvian ginseng (maca), and wild-crafted Jiaogulan or 5-leaf ginseng — powerful adaptogens for physical and mental balance.
