 This herb is generally not recommended for use in pediatric patients because of concerns about possible stimulant effects. However, some clinicians may recommend it as a tonic during periods of stress; if so, follow the instructions carefully of that qualified practitioner. Use for children should be limited to 2 consecutive weeks.

 Adult:
 150-500 mg. extract equiv to 2-5 gm./day dried plant
 Powder - 3 - 15 gm.
 Tincture - 10 - 50 drops.
 Dried root: The recommended dose is 500 to 3,000 milligrams dried root daily (tea, or in capsules).
 Tincture: (herb and alcohol; or herb, alcohol, and water), one teaspoon three times per day.
 Fluid extract (1:1): 1/2 to 1 tsp. Two to three times per day.
 Extract (33% alcohol extract): 40 to 120 drops one to three times per day.
 Standardization:The most current available medical and scientific literature indicates that this dietary supplement should be standardized to 0.8% eleutherosides B and E per dose.
 Solid extracts, made from dried, powdered root are also available. Look for products that contain at least 1% eleutheroside F, and take 100 to 200 mg three times per day.

 To increase stamina or resistance to stress, one of the forms recommended above can be taken for one month on and one month off. For chronic conditions such as fatigue, Siberian ginseng can be taken for three months, followed by 2 to 3 weeks off. These cycles can be repeated, but this should be done under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

 Eleutherococcus (Siberian ginseng) is the root of Eleutherococcus senticosus, a plant in the ginseng family that is different from true ginseng (Panax). Other names for it are spiny ginseng, eleuthero ginseng, and eleuthero. Many people in Russia, including athletes and cosmonauts, use it to increase endurance and resistance to stress, and Russian researchers have shown that it does have these properties. They call it an "adaptogen," a substance that promotes adaptation to environmental stress of all kinds. In the past such a substance was called a tonic, something that tones or stretches the system, making it more resilient, better able to bend under pressure rather than break. Traditional Chinese medicine places great value on tonic plants because it believes in strengthening natural defenses. In the West scientists pay little attention to that strategy and none at all to tonic plants. Unlike true ginseng, eleutherococcus is not a stimulant or sexual enhancer. But like ginseng, eleuthero must be taken regularly over a period of weeks or months in order to have an effect. It may be useful for people who are run down, weak, lacking in energy and resistance, or suffering from chronic illness.
