Siberian Ginseng
Recognized the world over as one of the ultimate adaptogenic agents, Siberian Ginseng, also known as Acanthopanax and Eleutherococcus, helps provide real long term energy and the ability to cope with a world of stress.

The herb has developed a major reputation as a premier supplement for those who require additional physical strength or who suffer as a result of low resistance to the side effects of extreme exertion. It aids in the recovery from hard exercise, as well as from extreme mental exertion. It is now routinely used by people required to engage in high stress, high energy-demanding activities such as high altitude flying, long-distance sailing, working in high or low temperature environments or in deep water. Acanthopanax is used by all Russian (cosmonauts) astronauts. The use of the extract of this herb in these endeavors has been reported to increase physical strength, sharpen concentration, improve various parameters of mental power, increase visual acuity, improve color vision and to promote healing power.

Siberian Ginseng is especially popular among athletes or physical workers who require substantial sources of adaptive energy and endurance, such as long distance runners, rock climbers, bicyclists, scuba divers, dancers, tennis players and by others seeking to enhance physical and mental performance, endurance and adaptability.

Acanthopanax is a very powerful adaptogenic agent. It helps expand the dimensions of work that one can perform, improving work capacity in both the short and long term. Workers all over the world have found that regular consumption of the extract of this herb provides endurance and the capacity to handle heavy work loads with less strain on the body. It contains no steroids or other dangerous chemical agents. Its benefits are derived from its broad spectrum of eleutherosides, chemical agents that help the nervous and endocrine systems to perform at a higher level. These eleutherosides are saponins, which are very similar to the saponins found in Panax Ginseng and Gynostemma.

Acanthopanax increases respiratory power by improving the ability of the body to absorb and efficiently use oxygen. For this reason, Russian cosmonauts use it during space travel. Mountain climbers who scale peaks where oxygen becomes scarce commonly use Acanthopanax to reduce the stress on the body caused by the adverse conditions, and to absorb oxygen more efficiently. For the same reasons, any one engaged in hard physical activity will benefit from the consumption of Siberian Ginseng. It is a superb athlete's tonic, especially for athletes who rely on respiratory endurance.

Acanthopanax helps regulate functions so that optimum physiological efficiency is achieved. Used regularly, the energy of the whole body will increase. This herb has been shown to reduce the activation of the adrenal cortex in response to stress, which means that it helps to prevent excessive stress reactions, which can in term damage other components of the endocrine and nervous systems and result in exhaustion. In clinical trials in which Acanthopanax was administered to healthy human subjects, results showed that Acanthopanax increases the ability of humans to withstand a wide range of adverse physical and mental conditions, such as exercise, increase in workload, noise, heat, motion and decompression. It was also shown in the same studies to improve athletic performance and the quality of work under stressful conditions.

Besides being characterized as a tonic herb, Acanthopanax is in fact also regarded as a mild, but significant "stimulant." This stimulating action refers to the pharmacological ability of Acanthopanax to increase the work capacity of a person after a single dose of the preparation. This is in some contrast to its tonic action, which refers to its ability to increase work capacity after prolonged or continuous use of the substance. Work capacity is increased as a result of taking a tonic, not just during the time period when the substance is being used, but for a sustained period of time afterwards. Acanthopanax has the rare ability to both increase immediate energy and long-term energy, and is thus known as a "stimulating tonic." It increases the general tone of the body, while adjusting and normalizing arterial blood pressure and blood sugar levels. It does not possess the negative side effects, depressing qualities or addictive potential of most other pharmacological and biological stimulants such as coffee, guarana, amphetamines, or cocaine, etc. It is the safest and healthiest known stimulant.

In addition to this, Acanthopanax has been shown to improve mental alertness and work output. Numerous studies have demonstrated that Acanthopanax has the ability to enhance sensorial perception, improving visual acuity and night vision, heightening auditory awareness, all while protecting the eyes and hearing apparatus from damage due to excess stimulation. In addition, considerable research and clinical evidence has demonstrated that Acanthopanax is a powerful immune modulator. It helps to build resistance to infectious disease and can prevent auto immune reactions. Studies have shown that Acanthopanax is especially useful in reducing the incidence of influenza in groups of people who consume it regularly.

It has been demonstrated that Acanthopanax has anabolic action which can result in an increase in lean body weight. Acanthopanax, however, differs from the steroid anabolic hormones. It does not have a masculinizing effect.

Acanthopanax is highly effective in treating and preventing altitude sickness.

All this adds up to one of the most useful and powerful health supplements known to mankind. In an era when workloads are intense, stress is ubiquitous and competition is the name of the game, Acanthopanax is the perfect adaptogenic substance to make part of your daily regimen. Those who use high quality Acanthopanax quickly discover that it is one of the great tools in natures herbal arsenal. It provides an abundance of both quick and long-term energy that results in an improved ability to handle stress, and further results in the improvement of one's capacities, both physically and mentally. Acanthopanax has been demonstrated to be a remarkably safe substance.
