Most people haven’t heard about this plant but we’re going to help you find out more. It’s the incredible plant called Siberian ginseng, a powerful energy booster used by Russian athletes for stamina, strength and balance.
It first became popular in the 1950s, when a Russian scientist found his amazing powers as a stress reducer.
Siberian ginseng is actually not a ginseng at all. It’s also called Eleuthero and it comes from a plant called Eleutherococcus senticosus found in Japan, Northeastern Asia, China and Russia. Siberian ginseng contains eleutherosides, compounds that stimulate the immune system. It’s also rich in vitamin A, B6 and zinc.
A research published by “Chinese Medicine” explains that ginseng leaf and stems can reduce fatigue in animals and increase physical capabilities. It can also increase the body’s resistance to stress. As we already said, it contains eleutherosides, compounds that contain complex polysaccharides that are brain power and immunity enhancers. The compound also increases mental acuity and has a positive effect on the body’s immune defenses. If it consumed regularly, the extract of the root can increase athletic performance, endurance and mental alertness.
