Cactus Botanics ~ Siberian Ginseng

SHANGHAICactus Botanics launched Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), also known as Eleuthero, which may help stimulate mental and physical vigor.

Studies on Siberian ginseng show the ingredient also helps prevent fatigue , improves stamina and performance, and increases alertness and learning ability. Carol Cheow, general manager of Cactus Botanics, said the ingredient's components can benefit those in need of an energy boost.

"People are busier than ever, and consistently want more and better energy," Cheow said. "There are many products that purport to do that, but Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) remains one of the best-studied, effective and safe natural energy-promoting herbs."

Siberian ginseng is native to the Taiga region of the Far East (southeastern part of Russia, northern China, Korea and Japan). Cheow said Eleuthero is distinctively different from Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng), but both have unique active chemical components.

Cactus Botanics offers two types of Siberian Ginseng Powder Extract from its China and U.S. warehouses.

Previous research shows supplements containing ginseng may improve cognitive function.
