HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Siberian Ginseng Eleuthero Powder 500 mg by BulkSupplements.com
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: eleuthero (also called Siberian ginseng) in powdered form, at 500 mg per serving. Eleuthero is a plant root used in traditional medicine to support energy and resilience.
There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence for eleuthero's effectiveness is mixed and limited. It's rated possibly effective for genital herpes, based on available research.
For other uses — familial Mediterranean fever, bipolar disorder, osteoporosis, and chronic fatigue syndrome — the evidence isn't strong enough to establish whether it works, and the data we hold doesn't rate it as effective for any of those.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Eleuthero is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though long-term safety data is limited. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal — diarrhea, nausea, upset stomach, and indigestion — plus headache and a rash.
In one clinical study, about 7% of people reported nervousness; some also experienced mild anxiety, irritability, or low mood, especially at higher doses. A few reports mention increased blood pressure and rapid heartbeat, though it's unclear whether eleuthero or a contaminant in some products caused those.
It is best avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, as there isn't enough safety data.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start, double-check this product with your pharmacist if you take digoxin (Lanoxin) or any blood thinner or antiplatelet drug — eleuthero may raise digoxin levels or increase bleeding risk. Also check if you're on diabetes medications, drugs metabolized by your liver (especially for heart rhythm or blood pressure), immunosuppressants, or any P-glycoprotein substrates.
Most of these interactions are theoretical rather than proven in people, but they're flagged based on how eleuthero works in the body.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Eleuthero might be worth considering if you're looking for a short-term energy support and have no heart, diabetes, or blood-clotting medications. If you take digoxin, any blood thinner, a diabetes medication, or drugs for immune suppression, check with your pharmacist first — the interactions are real enough to matter.
Keep an eye out for stomach upset or nervousness, and don't use it long-term without talking to your healthcare provider about the limited data on extended use.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Siberian Ginseng Eleuthero Powder by BulkSupplements.com has documented interactions with medications.
The most serious concern is digoxin (Lanoxin), a heart medication: a case report showed that eleuthero raised digoxin levels in the blood, which could lead to side effects. After the person stopped taking eleuthero, digoxin levels returned to normal.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Elementhero theoretically may also affect how your liver and kidneys process several other medication types. These include blood thinner drugs (anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents) — eleuthero may increase bleeding risk — and diabetes medications, where it might lower blood sugar further.
It could theoretically raise levels of certain blood pressure and heart rhythm drugs (CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 substrates), as well as some cancer and transplant medications (P-glycoprotein substrates). It may also interfere with immunosuppressant drugs used after organ transplant or for autoimmune conditions.
Most of these effects have been seen only in lab and animal studies, not in people — but they're flagged because of how eleuthero works in the body.
One interaction shows a different pattern: research in healthy volunteers found that eleuthero does not actually slow the metabolism of certain antidepressants and other drugs (CYP2D6 substrates), even though lab studies suggested it might. Altogether, these interactions span 1,123 individual medications.

Read the full Eleuthero, Powder + Acetaminophen, Chlorpheniramine, Phenylephrine, Salicylamide interactionEach ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects
For each ingredient in Siberian Ginseng Eleuthero Powder 500 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Eleuthero, Powder
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, eleuthero may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research shows that a constituent of eleuthero, dihydroxybenzoic acid, appears to inhibit platelet aggregation. Concomitant use with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, eleuthero might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that certain constituents of eleuthero have hypoglycemic activity in both healthy and diabetic animals. A small study in adults with type 2 diabetes also shows that taking eleuthero for 3 months can lower blood glucose levels. However, one very small study in healthy individuals shows that taking powdered eleuthero 3 grams, 40 minutes prior to a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test, significantly increases postprandial blood glucose levels when compared with placebo. These contradictory findings might be due to patient-specific variability and variability in active ingredient ratios.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro and animal research suggest that standardized extracts of eleuthero inhibit CYP1A2. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro and animal research suggest that standardized extracts of eleuthero might inhibit CYP2C9. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Eleuthero might increase serum digoxin levels and increase the risk of side effects.
In one case report, a 74-year-old male who was stabilized on digoxin presented with an elevated serum digoxin level after starting an eleuthero supplement, without symptoms of toxicity. After stopping the supplement, serum digoxin levels returned to normal. It is not clear whether this was due to a pharmacokinetic interaction or to interference with the digoxin assay. Although the product was found to be free of digoxin and digitoxin, it was not tested for other contaminants.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, eleuthero might interfere with immunosuppressive drugs because of its immunostimulant activity.
Animal and in vitro research shows that eleuthero extracts have immunomodulatory effects, including increasing cellular and humoral activity.
P-Glycoprotein Substrates
Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research suggests that eleuthero can inhibit the multi-drug transporter protein, P-glycoprotein. However, it is too soon to tell if this is clinically important. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro and animal research suggest that standardized extracts of eleuthero might inhibit CYP2D6. However, research in healthy human volunteers has found that taking eleuthero 485 mg twice daily for 14 days does not inhibit CYP2D6 drug metabolism.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro and animal research suggest that standardized extracts of eleuthero might inhibit CYP3A4. However, research in healthy human volunteers has found that taking eleuthero 485 mg twice daily for 14 days does not inhibit CYP3A4 drug metabolism.
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)
Theoretically, eleuthero might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by OATP.
In vitro research suggests that eleuthero inhibits OATP2B1, which might reduce the bioavailability of oral drugs that are substrates of OATP2B1. Due to the weak inhibitory effect identified in this study, this interaction is not likely to be clinically significant.
