What is Schisandra?
Schisandra chinensis is called "five-flavor berry" because it contains all five tastes recognized in Chinese medicine: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and pungent. This rare quality is said to make it tonifying for all organ systems.
Liver Support
Schisandra is hepatoprotective, supporting liver function and regeneration. It increases glutathione levels in the liver and supports Phase I and Phase II detoxification pathways.
Adaptogenic Properties
As an adaptogen, schisandra helps the body resist physical, mental, and environmental stress. Russian Olympic athletes and cosmonauts used it for endurance and recovery.
Cognitive Enhancement
Schisandra can improve concentration, coordination, and mental clarity. Some studies suggest it supports memory and may have neuroprotective properties.
Beauty Berry
In Chinese tradition, schisandra is also a beauty tonic, said to make the skin radiant. Its antioxidant content supports skin health from within.
