Treasure of the East Eleuthero (Ci Wu Jia) – 5:1 Herbal Extract Granules, 100g

Key Benefits of Eleuthero

Eleuthero is traditionally used to help the body cope with physical and mental stress. It may support sustained energy levels, especially during periods of fatigue or increased demand. Many people incorporate it into their daily routine to promote a balanced mood and overall wellbeing. As an adaptogen, it works gradually to maintain homeostasis—without the stimulating effects of caffeine or other quick fixes.

How Treasure of the East Ensures Quality

Treasure of the East uses purified water—not harsh solvents like alcohol, hexane, or acetone—to extract the beneficial compounds from eleuthero. This gentle water-based method preserves the full spectrum of active constituents while keeping the extract pure and kind to the body. Every batch is tested for identity and purity in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. Over 95% of their raw herbs come from geo-authentic regions—where the plants have traditionally thrived. This commitment to traditional sourcing and modern testing guarantees a consistent, high-quality product.

What Is Eleuthero (Ci Wu Jia)?

Eleuthero, also known as Ci Wu Jia or Siberian ginseng, is a traditional adaptogenic herb used for centuries in Eastern medicine. However, it is distinct from true ginseng—it belongs to a different botanical species (Eleutherococcus senticosus) and contains a unique profile of active compounds called eleutherosides. These compounds are believed to help the body adapt to stress, support stamina, and promote overall vitality. Treasure of the East offers a concentrated 5:1 extract: five parts of raw herb are used to produce one part of extract, delivering the same range of whole-herb benefits in a more convenient form.

Why Choose a 5:1 Herbal Extract?

A 5:1 extract provides the equivalent of five times the amount of raw herb per gram. This concentration makes it easier to achieve the desired benefit without consuming large volumes of plant material. The granules dissolve quickly in warm water or tea, offering a practicable alternative to brewing whole roots or taking multiple capsules. For those seeking a potent, easy-to-uses adaptogen, this extract bridges tradition and modern convenience.

How to Uses Eleuthero Granules

Usage is straightforward: mix the recommended serving of granules (as indicated on the product label) with hot or cold water, juice, or your favourite herbal tea. Stir until dissolved. Begin with one serving per day and adjust according to your needs. As individual requirements vary, it is wise to consult a health care professional before adding any new supplement to your regimen, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between eleuthero and ginseng?

Eleuthero (also called Siberian ginseng) belongs to a different botanical family than Asian or American ginseng. While both are adaptogens, eleuthero is renowned for its energising and stress-supporting properties without the stimulating effects of true ginseng. It contains eleutherosides rather than ginsenosides.

Is a 5:1 extract stronger than a 1:1 extract?

Yes—a 5:1 extract is five times more concentrated by weight. One gram of 5:1 extract contains the active compounds from five grammes of raw herb. This allows for lower doses while maintaining potency.

Can I take this with other supplements?

Eleuthero is generally considered safe and can be taken alongside most supplements. However, because it may affect blood pressure or blood sugar, consult your health care provider if you are on medication for those conditions.
