Xtend-Life Ingredient Eleuthero (Siberian Ginseng)

Eleuthero (Siberian Ginseng) Background and Benefits

Eleuthero is a common name for Eleutherococcus senticosus, a deciduous, woody shrub that originates from eastern Asia, including China, Japan, Korea and Russia. Additional common names for this plant include eleuthero, Siberian Ginseng and Ciwujia. Eluthero belongs to the Araliaceae family, which also includes the Panax genus of true ginseng plants.

Eleuthero is hardy to zone 3 and grows in mountainous forests, especially with coniferous trees. It may also grow in riparian woodlands on rare occasions. Eleuthero typically forms undergrowth in areas with dappled shade such as thickets, groves and forest edges. It can grow in a broad range of soils, including heavy clay, loam and sand. Eleuthero can also tolerate acidic and alkaline soils.

Eleuthero can reach a height of six feet, although it grows slowly. It usually flowers in July, depending on the climate. The flowers are self-fertile and may also be pollinated by insects.

The pharmaceutically active components of eleuthero primarily consist of eleutherosides A through M, especially B and E. Additional components include acanthoside D, ciwujianosides A through E, friedelin and isofraxidin. This large number of active components makes eleuthero useful for supporting a variety of biological functions.

It is used in traditional Chinese medicine for conditions such as poor appetite, occasional headaches and poor sleeping patterns. Eleuthero is considered to be an adaptogen in modern herbal medicine, meaning that it stabilizes physiological processes and promotes homeostasis. A decreased sensitivity to stress is a common benefit of homeostasis as defined in herbal medicine.

Uses of Eleuthero (Siberian Ginseng)

The most significant benefit of eleuthero’s adaptogenic properties is support for the immune system. Additional uses include support for exercise performance, mental functional and overall health.
