Schisandra  Extract

Schisandra extract comes from the Schisandra chinensis plant. This vine grows up to 30 feet in length in areas like China and Russia. Also known as magnolia vine, schizandra or wu wei zi, its berries are used for their therapeutic properties. Sometimes called the "five flavor berries," they encompass all five major flavors - sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners use this botanical mainly for its purported "blood cleansing" abilities. In the 1960s, Russia studied it for its stress-protective effects (x, x).
