What it is

Eleuthero, also known as Siberian ginseng, is a shrub native to northeastern Asia. Its root is used to make medicine and supplements. The root is typically dried and then used in teas or extracts.

Why it's used

Eleuthero is most often found in tea bags and herbal supplements. It is added for its purported adaptogenic properties, which are believed to help the body cope with stress. It is not typically used as a functional ingredient like a sweetener or preservative.

Health notes

Eleuthero is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a dietary ingredient. Some studies suggest it may help with fatigue and improve immune function, but more research is needed. International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not extensively evaluated eleuthero for food additive purposes. Evidence on its long-term effects and interactions with medications is limited.

Allergen info

Eleuthero is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
