Schisandra Extract

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.

The herb is extracted in small batches with Certified Organic cane alcohol to maintain the balance of phytochemicals as they exist in the plant. We assure herb identity via macroscopic and organoleptic analysis, then confirm it through methods such as HPTLC fingerprinting specific to each herb. The formula is easily dispensed, taken in liquid form and added to water or other liquid.
