Rating (out of 5): 3

Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), also known as eleuthero, has a long history of traditional use in Russia, China, and other parts of Asia as an adaptogen—a substance believed to help the body resist physical, chemical, and biological stress. Within traditional herbal medicine, Siberian Ginseng has been used to support endurance, vitality, and to enhance the body’s ability to cope with stress, which has led to its association with supporting the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands play a key role in the body’s stress response through the production of hormones like cortisol, and adaptogenic herbs are traditionally thought to help “balance” this system.

Scientific studies have investigated Siberian Ginseng’s adaptogenic properties, particularly its potential to reduce fatigue and improve resilience to stress, but robust clinical evidence specifically linking it to direct support of adrenal gland function is limited. Most research focuses on its general anti-fatigue effects or its ability to modulate stress responses in animals or humans. Overall, the use of Siberian Ginseng for adrenal support stems mainly from traditional use, with some preliminary scientific support for its broader adaptogenic effects, but not conclusive evidence for direct benefits to adrenal gland health.
