Siberian Ginseng Root Powder

Description

Latin Name: Eleutherococcus Senticosus

Origin Country: China

Eleutherococcus senticosus, commonly known as Siberian ginseng or eleuthero, is a woody shrub native to Northeast Asia. Despite its name, it is not a true ginseng but is often referred to as such due to its similar adaptogenic properties. The active compounds in Siberian ginseng, including eleutherosides, are believed to help the body adapt to physical and mental stress, boost energy levels, improve immune function, and increase endurance. It is commonly consumed in the form of powder, or teas, and is often used by individuals seeking natural support for fatigue, cognitive function, and stress management. Siberian ginseng has a mild, slightly earthy flavour that can be somewhat bitter. The taste is not as strong or pungent, but it still carries a natural, herbaceous quality.

Benefits

It’s often recommended to take Siberian ginseng in cycles, such as taking it for 6 weeks with a 2-week break in between. This can prevent tolerance and maintain its effectiveness.

– Tips

If you’re new to Siberian ginseng, begin with a lower dose to assess how your body reacts. It’s often recommended to use adaptogens like Siberian ginseng in cycles (e.g., for 6 weeks, followed by a 2-week break) to avoid tolerance build-up.
