Gaia Herbs Eleuthero Root - Energy, Stamina & Mental Endurance Support - Eleuthero Root (Siberian Ginseng) Adaptogen Herbal Supplement - 60 Vegan Liquid Phyto-Capsules (30-Day Supply)

I take these sometimes daily for energy and for immune system support. I find they really work and give me clear energy especially when I'm running on less sleep, my immune system is low, or I'm under stress. The effect lasts for 3-5 hours and is noticeable for me. They are more mellow than other ginseng but very effective. Excellent product.

So ... this product was a tester for me. Out riding for 2 hours one day, and my knee ached for the first time. It happened again the next time I was out riding so knew something was going on. Rather than put myself into a little denial space, started doing some research on joints and natural remedies for same. Also suffer from a past groin injury that flares up just as a sciatic nerve pain would at times. This is something I've lived with since my late 20's. When it flares up, I'm incapcitated for a good week. Back to the aching knee: This product seems to have so many benefits. Not only has it helped the knee issue, but one night, instead of taking 800mg Ibuprofen when the groin pain hinted it was on the way, took one of these babies instead. By morning, the pain was completely gone (better than the Ibuprofen which masks the pain for a few hours). Thought perhaps the pain may have just corrected itself but took the eluthero root pill again the next time I felt the pain instead of the Ibuprofen, and couldn't deny it. So now I take this about a 1/2 hour before riding or even just before I leave if I know it'll be a long ride. Have noticed it also gives a bit of an energy boost and it's helped cut back my use of the Ibuprofen substantially. So many other additional benefits this product contains. And please ... do your own research! It's great to have reviews, but be sure this product is right for you. There are apparently differenty types of eleuthero root. This one is definitely right for me. Happy I tried it. It definitely has a permanent place in my med. cabinet. Thanks Gaia!

It works, great product, will buy again

I felt the difference in one week but then it stopped working for me, maybe I need something bc stronger but I wanted natural to help me.

I first heard of eleuthero as being an herb that can relieve joint pain. A lifetime of athletics and skiing has left my knees in something of a less than ideal state. So, I found a product here at Amazon called Good Earth "Ginseng Green Tea" with eleuthero (aka Siberian Ginseng).The tea helped. Within a few days, I experienced a little less swelling in my knees, much less pain, and greater agility.Thereafter, I sought a stronger source of eleuthero, and let me tell you, they abound on the internet. However, I wanted eleuthero in veggie caps. I don't eat meat, and most pills are bound with gelatin or sold in gelatin capsules. Gelatin, like the product Jell-o, consists mostly of what's left of an animal below the knees. The butcher grinds that up, cooks it, and there you have it: Jell-o! Not for me.This vegetarian requirement simplified the hunt, while simultaneously upping the price tremendously.I eventually bought a bottle of Eleuthero Root from "gaia herbs" here at Amazon. The product seems to be a paste or a liquid that is contained inside veggie capsules. So far, so good. The "gaia herbs" product seems to work well, although it is certainly expensive.Thereafter, when I stumbled upon a supply of Solgar eleuthero at the Vitamin Shoppe here on Amazon for only ten dollars, I had to give it a go.With "gaia herbs" you can trace the source of the herb and its freshness by a product code on the label. The same is not true of Solgar herbs, but a little research on the internet told me that Solgar is a respected name among herb sellers and buyers.The Eleuthero Root from "gaia herbs" is packaged in a bottle of 60, and sells for about $20 per bottle (or about $17 if you subscribe through Amazon Prime). As two capsules are the recommended dosage (about 800 mg), this is a 30-day supply.Thus: With the product from "gaia herbs", we have a 30-day supply for $20, or about $.67 a day.The Solgar product is actually packaged in bottles of 100 (although the website claims 250), and in capsules of 510 mg, a dose that Solgar claims is the daily recommended dosage.Thus, the Solgar product constitutes a 100-day supply for around $11, eleven cents a day; or if you choose to double up, a 50-day supply at twenty-two cents a day.Further, the Solgar product is in powder form, enabling the consumer to open the capsule and pour the product directly into tea, juice, or a power drink (or a vodka gimlet, I suppose).Research into the value of eleuthero is limited, and while there is some indication that regular ingestion of eleuthero may produce a number of benefits, no one has demonstrated this other than anecdotally.I feel a benefit from the regular use of eleuthero, and I've been using it in one form or another for over a year now. Two months ago, I bought a mountain bike, and I am able to ride 20 miles a day now -- in fact, last night, I clocked 25 miles before heading home.I can tell you two things for certain:1. My knees feel better to me, and2. my knees have improved in strength and reduced pain during the period when I was taking a daily dose of eleuthero.What I cannot say for certain is that the improvement in my knees is because of the eleuthero. Nevertheless, I am not willing to discontinue its use.As to trying to distinguish between the quality of the two products that have been the subject of this review, I cannot. I take both of them alternately.I believe I am healthier from the regular use of eleuthero, but my beliefs cannot affect your life. Only your beliefs can do that.It all comes down to this: Placebo-wise or otherwise, if it feels good, do it.

This product, along with Bezwecken's Isocort supplements (also purchased from Amazon) helped restore my energy following adrenal fatigue so severe that I could not stand up, stay awake for more than 30 minutes a day, or function in any fashion for 4 months after a retina surgery. I was so weak and exhausted, that my heartbeat could hardly be heard, and I was preparing for my funeral, because I thought I was going to die. Then, I bought eleuthero root. I cannot say enough about those two products. Three days after I began taking those two products, I was able to go hiking for 11.6 miles, something I had done on a daily basis for years until I had that retina surgery. It was as though I had been re-born. No one can know what it feels like to get ones life back, unless it happens to her. My healing has been slow, but steady, and I am now, after 4 months, almost back to my normal routine. My doctor and all the specialists she had sent me to had no idea what was wrong with me or what to do, and they had given up. I happened across an article by an American M.D., who outlined the symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue and recommended supplements to treat it. One of the supplements was not available, and a clerk at Whole Foods recommended Eleuthero Root instead, so I bought it. This regimen has literally saved my life.

I used this in conjunction with Desmoxan to quit smoking. It really helped boost my mood.

this is siberian gensing and the quality of this product is supreme. I take one capsule and i have too much energy to spend. I was looking for something reduce fatigue and my inability to wake up in the morning.This product gives me so much energy to the point that it is too much. I can't take it everyday bec it make me sleep less than 5 hours per day and the rest of the day i feel like i am on speed. It is very good for studying and physical effort or hectic days.
