We prepare adaptogenic Schisandra extract from the ripe berry of Certified Organic Schisandra chinensis vines. To assure optimal quality, we directly purchase from China only berries that have been graded as premium quality. The herb is revered in Traditional Chinese Herbalism. It is often referred to as ‘five flavored spice” because it has five types of flavor (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami).
Schisandra berries are first soaked in menstruum and then thoroughly extracted. Soaking protects oils and preserves flavor.
