Eleuthero

What is Eleuthero?

Eleuthero, also known as Eleutherococcus senticosus, is an adaptogenic herb that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Often referred to as Siberian ginseng, eleuthero is believed to enhance physical performance, reduce fatigue, and support the immune system. It is available in capsule, powder, and tea forms.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Intolerance to eleuthero may result from its stimulating effects on the body, leading to symptoms like insomnia, nervousness, or gastrointestinal upset in sensitive individuals. These reactions can occur, particularly when taken in high doses or alongside other stimulants.

What can I do about it?

If you experience intolerance symptoms, consider reducing the dosage or stopping eleuthero use altogether. Alternative adaptogens like ashwagandha or rhodiola may offer similar benefits without the risk of intolerance. Tracking your body's responses can help you identify which herbs suit you best.
