What we found out about this product:
Where is it found? This species is native to Asia.
Parts of the plant used: The root.
How is it used? This herb is usually taken as a tea, in capsules,
tinctures or extracts.
What is it used for? This plant is used as an invigorating tonic to
combat stress and fatigue. It purportedly enhances physical endurance
and mental concentration ability. Most of the early research on this
herb came from the ex-Soviet Union, where it was tested mainly on
athletes. The results shown were positive, but some of the research
trials have been criticized by western scientists as being flawed in
their methodology, as well in the interpretation of the results.
Soviet scientists coined the term "adaptogen" to describe a substance
or herb that could increase resistance to stress or had an
invigorating action upon the consumer. Thus eleuthero is considered
to be, along with the true ginsengs (American and Korean), an
adaptogenic herb. Currently, eleuthero is used to increase resistance
to physical and mental stress, with varying results. The herb also
lowers blood sugar levels. Its active ingredients may be of use in
combating herpes simplex type II infections, but more research in
human subjects is needed to reach a definitive conclusion. Eleuthero
has been used to adulterate certain herbal products claimed to
contain true ginseng (Panax ginseng or P. quinquefolius ).
