ABOUT SCHISANDRA CHINENSIS

Schisandra Chinensis produces berries as its fruits. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, they are one of the 50 fundamental herbs, and they have traditionally been used in Japan, Korea, and the far east regions of the Russian empire.

 

The berries are known as five-flavor fruits because all five basic flavors can be found in them: salty, sweet, sour, pungent (spicy), and bitter.

 

The fruits of S.chinensis are known for their adaptogenic effects, stimulating mental and physical performance, mood, sleep, sight, and immunity.

 

Russian scientists studied the berries and seeds in both animals and humans from 1940-1960 due to its traditional uses, including countering exhaustion and supporting night vision.

 

Adaptogens gained recognition as a result of this research in the former USSR in the early 1960s and have since been extensively studied in Russian and English language journals.

 

In S.Chinensis berries, the primary active compounds are schisandra lignans. Lignans are members of the non-flavonoid polyphenol family that interact with gut microbiota (i.e., gut-brain axis) [1].
