Benefits of Schisandra

What Is Schisandra?

This woody vine, native to northern China and parts of Russia, bears berries known in Mandarin as "wu wei zi" or "five-flavoured fruit" for its sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, and salty tastes. In herbal traditions, Schisandra is classified as an adaptogen* — a substance that helps the body adapt to stress and promotes overall balance.*

How to Use Schisandra

Adults take 2 capsules twice daily, preferably with food. Consistent daily use is key with adaptogens; benefits may build over several weeks. Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, and keep out of reach of children. Capsules mask the sour taste, but you can open them and mix the powder into a beverage (be aware the flavour is strong).
