AVELOR SUMMARY
Brazilian adaptogen ('Brazilian ginseng') containing pfaffic acid and ecdysteroids. Marketed for energy, libido, and immune support. Very limited clinical data — mostly in vitro and animal studies. The ecdysteroid content is low (see ecdysterone.md for the compound class). NOT related to actual ginseng (Panax). Our assessment: traditional use exists but clinical evidence is insufficient for any health claim.
