<p>These are concentrated capsules of pure Siberian ginseng extract. For 1 kilogram of extract, 25-45 kilograms of raw root are used. That is an extract ratio of 35:1 compared to 5:1 in other, perhaps cheaper, brands.</p> <p>Eleuthero of <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://morgenisnu.nl/merk/dragon-herbs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dragon Herbs</a></span> contains a powerful extract of the well-known Chinese herb Siberian ginseng. Siberian ginseng is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine (abbreviated: TCM). It is also generally known as an adaptogen. Dragon Herbs processes Siberian ginseng into a potent extract and packages it in 100% vegetable capsules. This product is therefore easy to use and suitable for both a vegetarian and vegan diet.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;">About Siberian ginseng in Eleuthero</span></h4> <p>Siberian ginseng (botanical: Eleutherococcus senticosus) is a small shrub with a dense growth habit. The plant grows in southern Russia, northern China, Korea and Japan. The root has been used by the Chinese for at least 2000 years. Eleuthero from Dragon Herbs contains an extract of the roots of wild growing plants. These are collected in Northern Manchuria (Chinese equivalent to Siberia).</p> <p>The most important components of Siberian ginseng are the so-called eleutherosides. This is a group of substances that fall under the saponins. The specific saponins in Siberian ginseng are very similar to those of (Korean) real ginseng (botanical: Panax ginseng) and jiaogulan (botanical: Gynostemma pentaphyllum).</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;">Dragon Herbs the highest quality Eleuthero</span></h4> <p>Currently, there are many problems within the supplement industry with counterfeits of Siberian ginseng. Worldwide, both other subspecies (with a different species name) and completely different plants are sold under the name Siberian ginseng. Therefore, always pay attention to the botanical name Eleutherococcus seniticosus.</p> <p>In addition, choose supplements that indicate the extract ratio, because this can vary quite a bit. The root of Siberian ginseng is very woody. This means that the yield of active ingredients is low. Dragon Herbs uses between 25 and 45 kilograms of roots to produce 1 kilogram of extract. The extract ratio is therefore on average 35:1. Most other brands only achieve an extract ratio of 5:1. This means that they only use 5 kilograms of fresh roots to produce 1 kilogram of root extract. You can therefore imagine that the potency of these products is many times lower than that of Eleuthero. Dragon Herbs simply offers the best quality Chinese herbs and herbal formulas for a reasonable price.</p> <p>Would you rather buy Siberian ginseng in drop form?
