Eleuthero

Eleuthero is also known as Siberian ginseng. This herb is a member of the Araliaceae family and is related to American and Panax ginseng. Harvesting of this root is not performed until the root is older than two years. The older the root, the more valuable. For thousands of years, eleuthero has been used in Chinese medicine and has at times been sold at a price even higher than gold. This herb is known as an adaptogen, which is something that helps prevent the damaging effects of stress.

There are different types of stress, including biological, physical, emotional and environmental. Adaptogens like eleuthero and related ginsengs help bolster the immune system, regulate the mood and provide lasting energy. This herb helps facilitate the delivery of oxygen to various parts of the body which provides energy without the negative side effects associated with caffeine. Some herbalists use eleuthero to increase physical stamina and performance. Nature’s Sunshine eleuthero contains 410 mg eleuthero root per capsule.
