What is eleuthero root?
Eleuthero is a woody shrub native to Siberia, northern China, and Korea, with a root that has been used in Russian and East Asian traditional practices, often historically marketed as 'Siberian ginseng' despite being a botanically distinct plant from true Panax ginseng.
What are the benefits of eleuthero root?
Eleuthero contains eleutherosides, plant compounds studied for their association with supporting stamina, endurance, and the body's resilience to physical and environmental stress. It's traditionally used to support everyday energy levels rather than for an immediate stimulant effect.
In an herb blend, eleuthero complements Korean ginseng and ashwagandha, offering a milder, more sustained-energy-focused adaptogen alongside the calming or focus-oriented herbs.
How much eleuthero is in Daily Greens?
Eleuthero root is included in the 1.2 g herb and extract blend, and its individual gram amount is not separated out from the rest of the blend on the label.
Who should be careful with eleuthero root?
Eleuthero may have a mild effect on blood pressure and blood sugar, so people managing hypertension or diabetes should monitor their levels and mention regular eleuthero use to their doctor.
It's also generally advised against during pregnancy without medical guidance, and people with autoimmune conditions should check with a clinician first, given its classification as an immune-active adaptogen.
