Botanical

Siberian Ginseng

Siberian ginseng is the root of Eleutherococcus senticosus, also called eleuthero. Despite the name it is not a Panax ginseng and contains a different constituent profile, characterised by eleutherosides.

Honest information about Siberian Ginseng

Siberian Ginseng is included in our formulas as a botanical ingredient with traditional wellness heritage. No authorised health claim has been approved for it under EU or GB law, so we share only its identity, origin, dose and documented history — never implied benefits.

Claims held “on hold” pending evaluation are treated here as unauthorised. We will not imply an effect through images, testimonials or suggestive wording either.

Forms

Forms and what appears on a label

Extracts declare an eleutheroside percentage, usually 0.8–1%. Root should be specified rather than the whole plant, and it should not be confused with Panax ginseng on an ingredient list.

Sourcing

Where it comes from

Forests of East Asia, Russia, China and Japan.

In our formulas

Dose and how we use it

Included in Masculine, Metabolism and Cognitive Vitality.

Best taken in the morning or early afternoon to avoid interference with sleep.

Exact amounts per daily portion are declared on every product label and on each product page.

History

Documented traditional use

Eleuthero has recorded use in Chinese and later Russian practice. Historical context only.

Recorded as history. A record of traditional use is not evidence of an effect and is not a health claim.

Evidence

What research has — and has not — established

Human data are sparse and largely dated, with small trials in fatigue and endurance. Reviews consider the evidence inconclusive. No EU or GB health claim is authorised.

Safety

Cautions and interactions

Not for use in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Seek advice if you have high blood pressure, a hormone-sensitive condition, or take sedatives, anticoagulants or diabetes medication.

Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily portion. Keep out of reach of young children.
