Codonopsis Root / Dang Shen
Traditionally supports: Gut Health, Energy, Immune Support, and Stress Resilience
How It's Used
Called ‘poor woman’s ginseng’ for its gentler yet similar properties, Codonopsis root has been treasured in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for building Qi (energy) and strengthening the Lungs, Spleen, and digestive system.
In Western herbal research, Codonopsis root is recognized for its ability to support a healthy gut lining, which promotes smoother digestion, steady energy, and balanced metabolism. Research shows it helps maintain healthy immune and nervous system function, supports uterine wellness, and provides antioxidant and anti-aging benefits, protecting cells from everyday stress.
Fun Fact: As an adaptogen, Codonopsis root helps regulate the nervous system, strengthening the body’s ability to handle daily stress while supporting healthy metabolism, balanced hormones, and smooth digestion.
"Codonopsis root is a key herb in Elix’s Craving Support, where it gently boosts energy and strengthens digestion to reduce fatigue-driven cravings and help maintain metabolic balance."
