Eleuthero helps the body to adapt to stress by encouraging the adrenal glands to function normally. This herb allows them to function at their best when they are subjected to stress. When muscles are exercised this herb will improve the use of oxygen which is needed for the exercising muscle. Exercise can be maintained for longer and the bodies’ recovery time is much quicker because of Eleuthero. It also combats harmful toxins which results in the reduction of stress on the body.
