Schisandra Berries 75g

Pharma Germania Natural Products Schisandra Berries contain dried fruit of Schisandra chinensis, also known as Schisandra, Schizandra or Wu Wei Zi.

Schisandra has a long history in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where the fruit is known as Wu Wei Zi, meaning “five-flavour fruit”, in reference to its traditionally described combination of sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungent tastes.

It is commonly regarded as an adaptogenic-style and restorative botanical, traditionally used to support vitality, stamina and resilience during periods of physical or mental demand. Schisandra is also associated with supporting concentration, mental performance and general nervous-system wellbeing.

The berries naturally contain characteristic lignans, including schisandrin, schisandrol and gomisin-related compounds, together with organic acids and other polyphenolic constituents.

Schisandra also has an extensive traditional association with liver wellness, and its lignans have been investigated for hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity. However, ordinary dried Schisandra Berries should not be considered a treatment for liver disease or equivalent to standardised extracts used in clinical research.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Schisandra Berries?

Schisandra is valued as a traditional restorative and adaptogenic-style herb, making it particularly relevant to herbal preparations focused on vitality, resilience and general wellbeing.

Its characteristic dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans, including schisandrin-related compounds, distinguish Schisandra from many other traditional tonic herbs and have attracted substantial scientific interest.

However, the concentration of these constituents in dried berries can vary. Whole Schisandra Berries should therefore not be considered equivalent to a standardised Schisandra extract providing a specified lignan concentration.

Particular care is appropriate with medicines requiring close monitoring or having a narrow therapeutic range.

Seek professional advice before use if you have liver disease, are undergoing treatment for a liver condition or have abnormal liver-function tests.

Schisandra may occasionally cause digestive effects such as heartburn, reduced appetite or stomach discomfort in sensitive individuals.
