Also known as: Siberian Ginseng, Eleutherococcus senticosus, Ci Wu Jia
Eleuthero is a woody shrub native to northeastern Asia, widely studied as an adaptogen for stress resistance, physical endurance, and immune modulation. Unlike true ginseng (Panax), it contains eleutherosides rather than ginsenosides as its primary active compounds.
Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus), commonly known as Siberian ginseng, is an adaptogenic herb that has been used in traditional Chinese and Russian medicine for centuries. Despite its common name, eleuthero is not a true ginseng species but belongs to the same Araliaceae family. Its primary bioactive constituents are eleutherosides (especially eleutherosides B and E), along with polysaccharides and triterpenoid saponins. Soviet-era research extensively studied eleuthero for enhancing physical performance, stress tolerance, and work productivity, leading to its widespread use among athletes and cosmonauts. Modern clinical studies support its role in reducing fatigue, supporting immune function during periods of high stress, and improving cognitive performance under challenging conditions. Eleuthero is generally well tolerated and remains one of the most widely used adaptogens worldwide.
Multiple clinical trials demonstrate that eleuthero supplementation reduces perceived fatigue and improves endurance capacity, particularly under stressful or demanding conditions.
Eleuthero enhances natural killer cell activity and lymphocyte counts, helping maintain immune defenses during periods of physical or psychological stress.
Studies show improvements in attention, mental arithmetic speed, and quality of work performance in subjects under cognitive load following eleuthero supplementation.
Divided into 1–2 doses, taken in the morning and early afternoon
Standardized extracts containing 0.8–1% eleutherosides are recommended. Cycling (6–8 weeks on, 1–2 weeks off) is traditional.
30–60 minutes before exercise
Higher doses within the studied range are used in athletic contexts. Allow 4–6 weeks for full adaptogenic effects.
Consistent dosing with verified eleuthersoide content
Rapid absorption and flexible dosing
