Known as Siberian Ginseng, Eleuthero is a Potent Adaptogen Similar to ginseng in many respects, Eleuthero earned the name Siberian ginseng, despite the fact that it is an entirely different genus than ginseng although both are of the family Araliaceae. Great Herb for Athletes Behind the Iron Curtain, the Soviet Union was working hard to produce the best athletes. They knew of the benefits of ginseng but wanted to find a cheaper method of increasing their athletes abilities. Thus they came to use Eleuthero, and that is where its nickname comes from. Much research has been done in Russia and surrounding areas on this herb and its effects on endurance and recovery. * A study done with six baseball players found an increased breathing capacity in just 8 days. * In another study done in Australia 8 weeks of consuming Eleuthero led to 13% strength gains in the pecs and 15% in the biceps on average. * One 8 week study found a 43% increase in the body's ability to burn fat. * Another 8-week study found a 12% increase in VO2 Max, a 23% endurance time increase, and a max heart rate increase of 4% over control groups. So you can see it may also help with endurance, breathing, strength gains and burning fat too! For best results, we recommend a good size dose and at least 8 weeks to get the effects. As an adaptogen, Eleuthero has many benefits.
