Eleutherococcus senticosus
Eleuthero, formerly known as Siberian ginseng, is a thorny shrub native to northeastern Asia. It was extensively studied in Russia as an adaptogen for enhancing performance under stress. Though not a true ginseng (Panax), it shares adaptogenic properties and was used by Russian astronauts and athletes.
