Siberian ginseng is a herbaceous shrub native to Asia, used for thousands of years as a healing remedy in traditional medicine.
Considered an adaptogen, it is well known for modulating the immune system and supporting stress reduction.
It may also increase cell oxygenation which leads to better circulation, improved concentration and mental clarity, thereby supporting heart health and the cardiovascular system.
