Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), also known as eleuthero, is a certified organic adaptogenic root traditionally used to support energy, endurance and the body's response to stress. Despite sharing the "ginseng" name, siberian ginseng is a distinct species from true ginseng (Panax), with its own unique profile of bioactive compounds called eleutherosides. The dried root produces a mildly sweet, woody decoction.

Siberian ginseng gained widespread attention in the 1960s and 1970s when it was extensively studied for its adaptogenic properties. It was reportedly used by cosmonauts and Olympic athletes to enhance performance and resilience.
Despite its common name, siberian ginseng is not a true ginseng (Panax species). It belongs to a different genus (Eleutherococcus) within the same plant family (Araliaceae). The "ginseng" name was applied commercially due to its similar adaptogenic reputation.
