The action of the preparations of eleutherococcus is aimed at increasing the general tone and strengthening the body. They belong to the pharmacotherapeutic group "Adaptogens and drugs of general tonic action".

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Eleutherococcus in the form of dry and liquid extracts has a general tonic effect on the central nervous system and improves the body's ability to adapt to the adverse effects of aggressive factors.
The general toning effect is manifested gradually and is accompanied by an increase in tone and normalization of the vital activity of the organism. The mechanism of this action is the activation of metabolic processes, as well as endocrine and autonomic regulation.
The main signs of improving the tone of the body are:
    normalization of appetite;
    improvement of the tone of hollow internal organs;
    increased secretion of the glands of the digestive tract;
    restoration of reduced vascular tone.
With reduced pressure, the tincture of Eleutherococcus contributes to a slight increase in its indices.
In addition, drugs to a small extent reduce blood glucose levels, improve heart function, stimulate the function of the sex glands in men and women and mental activity.
The psychostimulating effect is manifested in the form of an increase in working capacity (physical and mental), a decrease in the severity of symptoms of asthenia (for example, after suffering traumas or somatic diseases) and signs of body fatigue.
Moreover, eleutherococcus preparations do not provoke mental excitement, including euphoria: both manifestations of the general toning effect, and manifestations of the psychostimulating effect are in the range of the physiological norm.
The main adaptogenic effects in the pharmacodynamics of drugs are:
    activation of specific and nonspecific immunity and, as a consequence, increasing the resistance of the organism to infections (use of tincture, liquid extract or tablets of Eleutherococcus during periods of epidemics allows to reduce the number of cases, and also facilitates the course of the disease);
    improves the tolerance of the organism to aggressive environmental factors (for example, increased or, conversely, low ambient temperature, radiation, intoxication, etc.).
All funds are characterized as low-toxic. They are well tolerated by the body and practically do not provoke side effects.
Like other preparations with adaptogenic action, the extract and tablets of eleutherococcus are prophylactic agents, the effect of their use is manifested with systematic use for a long time.

special instructions

According to Wikipedia, eleutherococcus spiny (Eleutherocóccus senticósus) is a plant of the genus of thorny shrubby perennials. In the reference books, he appears under different names. Most often it is called wild pepper, prickly free-berry, neuteron, devil's bush, and Siberian ginseng.
The generic name of the plant comes from the Greek words "eleutheros", which translates as "free", and "kokkos", which translates as "nutlet". In the Latin version, "senticosus" translates as "covered with thorns."

Eleuterococcus or ginseng - which is better?

Eleutherococcus and ginseng are medicinal plants that have a similar mechanism of action on the body. However, possessing properties similar to ginseng, the roots of Eleutherococcus have a number of advantages.
Preparations in which it is used as an active substance, "work" somewhat more slowly than preparations of ginseng. Restoration of the body occurs gradually, but the effect of using Eleutherococcus persists somewhat longer than the effect of using ginseng.
Unlike ginseng, it is allowed to apply at any time of the year and from an earlier age (ginseng is not recommended for people younger than 16 years old). In addition, the natural reserves of eleutherococcus are much larger than the reserves of ginseng, which makes it possible to produce a sufficient number of preparations with its content.
The use of eleutherococcus allows you to reduce approximately twofold the levels of glucose in the blood and increase the glycogen content in the liver. Also, if you compare it with ginseng, it has a much stronger effect on carbohydrate metabolism.
According to studies, the preparations of wild pepper roots reduce the time of dark adaptation (or, in other words, changes in the sensitivity of the human eye during the transition from bright light to total darkness), which is very useful during periods of seasonal depression.
Also, these funds contribute to increased visual acuity. If you take them for a month, then there is a significant improvement in the severity of hearing.
Several days after the start of daily doses of the drug in various dosage forms, both in healthy and sick people, appetite normalizes. In addition, these drugs have an anabolizing effect on the body (laboratory animals that daily received no less than two weeks of preparations of wild pepper, added weight).

For what the liquid extract and tablet forms of the drug are taken in sports

The use of drugs of wild pepper is advisable not only in extreme conditions, but also in sports.
Christopher Hobbs' book "Ginseng: An Energy Plant" states that doctors of the Russian Olympic team are appointed to take Eleutherococcus for athletes who are engaged in sports that require increased endurance.
Eleutherococcus is most widely used in bodybuilding and athletics. Like other plant adaptogenes, it is very important for athletes - training against the background of taking this tool allows you to achieve a more pronounced post-training opening of the so-called "carbohydrate window". Post-training assimilation of amino acids is also activated.
Preparations of eleutherococcus are often taken by climbers, sailors, factory workers employed in harmful industries, as well as cosmonauts, who are particularly important to accelerate the processes of adaptation to radically different conditions of outer space.

Benefits and harms of Eleutherococcus

The most valuable are the following effects of Eleutherococcus:
    improvement of the flow of metabolic processes;
    increase of adaptive properties of the organism;
    normalization of the level of sugar contained in the blood;
    increase resistance of the body to stressful situations.
Nevertheless, despite the huge number of indications for the use of drugs of wild pepper and their low toxicity, in some cases they can harm your own body.
For this reason, eleutherococcus is not recommended for conditions that are accompanied by an increase in body temperature, with certain cardiac disorders, high blood pressure, and an acute period of infectious diseases.

Eleutherococcus for weight loss

Preparations containing the extract of wild pepper are very important for people who want to get rid of excess weight - in fact, like other adaptogenes, the latter activates the processes of digestion of glucose by the cells of the body.
This, in turn, stimulates the metabolism, since proteins and fats are generally not capable of oxidizing without glucose. It is through the oxidation of glucose that the necessary energy is released to burn (oxidize) fats.

Eleuterococcus during pregnancy

When pregnancy is not recommended without the need for any medication. Eleutherococcus preparations are no exception: the instruction prohibits their use during the period of bearing of the child.
However, in some cases, according to the decision of the attending physician, they can still be appointed.
In pregnancy, eleutherococcus is used in chronic pyelonephritis, low blood pressure, to treat herpes, to remove symptoms of chronic fatigue and to treat asthenic syndrome.
Pregnant women are prescribed solely according to the doctor's indications and in minimal dosages. The duration of treatment should also be minimal.

Reviews about Eleuterococcus

Numerous reviews of the liquid extract of Eleutherococcus emphasize the high efficacy of this agent and its good tolerability by patients. Reviews of the tincture of eleutherococcus are also positive. The remedy recommends more than 95% of people who used it to treat certain conditions.
The main advantages of the drugs - reviews about the dry extract of Eleutherococcus and the liquid medicinal forms of this plant are the confirmation - it is their availability, low price, ease of use (this applies to syrup, tablets, and liquid extract) and a wide range of applications.
The main disadvantage of most people is the presence of contraindications.
