The adaptogen of high-performance society—used after Chernobyl as radiation protection, by the Olympic team as a performance-enhancing drug, and today as a proven remedy for stress and to boost the immune system. Take for a maximum of 8 weeks, then take a break!
Interesting facts about taiga root
- The 1984 Russian Olympic Team: Performance-enhancing drugs—later banned.
- Has been shown to inhibit RNA viruses.
- Elevated T-lymphocyte levels have been demonstrated in studies.
Effects & Properties
Lignans and phenylpropanoids act as Adaptogen: They lower elevated cortisol levels while simultaneously boosting the body’s stress resistance. T-lymphocyte counts increase (immunologically proven). Antiviral against RNA viruses. Tonifying and performance-enhancing.
Features: adaptogenic, immune-boosting, antiviral, stress-reducing, tonifying, performance-enhancing.
Applications
Taiga root for stress
Chronic stress causes a sustained increase in cortisol levels—the body loses its ability to cope with stress, and its capacity for recovery diminishes. Taiga root lowers elevated cortisol levels while simultaneously boosting the body’s ability to cope with stress: it helps build up the body’s reserves, improves recovery, and reduces stress-related symptoms such as exhaustion and sleep problems.
Eleutherococcus for sleep problems
Stress-related sleep disorders are caused by elevated cortisol levels in the evening—the stress hormone keeps the brain awake. Taiga root helps regulate stress hormone levels, lowers cortisol levels, and restores the natural balance of the sleep-wake cycle.
Taiga root for immune deficiency
Chronic stress suppresses the immune system due to persistently elevated cortisol levels. Taiga root lowers cortisol levels while simultaneously increasing the number of T lymphocytes in the blood—both effects have been demonstrated in studies. The immune system is then able to function freely and effectively again.
Eleutherococcus for poor concentration
Difficulty concentrating due to exhaustion and stress occurs when the brain no longer receives enough energy and time to recover. Taiga root optimizes recovery, restores strength to the nervous system, and boosts cognitive performance by improving stress resistance.
Taiga root for exhaustion
Any form of exhaustion—physical, mental, or emotional—benefits from the adaptogenic effects of taiga root. It optimizes regeneration at the cellular level, lowers cortisol levels, and restores the body’s reserves.
Eleutherococcus for recovery
After serious illness or surgery, the body is exhausted and the recovery process slows to a crawl. Taiga root significantly speeds up recovery: strength returns, the immune system regenerates, and the body regains its vitality more quickly.
Instructions for Use
Tablets or drops 3 times a day. As a short course of treatment – after an 8-week break (4–8-week break, then a new course).
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Do not take – insufficient data.
High blood pressure
Only with regular monitoring. Stop use immediately if levels rise.
Anticoagulant medications
Consult a doctor or alternative practitioner beforehand. Monitor your INR/Prothrombin time—Eleutherococcus may affect the metabolism of anticoagulant medications.
