Schisandra 200 mg Vcaps

Schisandra chinensis is a woody vine which bears numerous clusters of tiny, bright red berries. The vine is typically of height 15 to 25 feet and width 5 to 10 feet. It flowers from April to May, with flowers of a 2cm diameter . The plant is found throughout northern and north-east China and the adjacent regions of Russia and Korea. It has a mixture of sour, sweet, salty, hot, and bitter tastes.

Schisandra chinensis is a plant which bears fruit containing one or more naturally-occurring adaptogens, which have been shown to support the body's systemic tonicity and balance, improve concentration and attention-span, and support the acuity of vision and hearing.

Schisandra was coveted by the Chinese emperors for its numerous health benefits.  Schisandra provides nutritional support for the respiratory and digestive systems, as well as the liver and kidneys.

Schisandra is one of the most effective phytoadaptogens. ADAPTOGENS are natural plant products that increase the body's ability to cope with internal and external stress factors, and normalise the functions of the body. They help maintain the stable internal environment inside the body known as homeostasis.  The herb's adaptogenic action may help to nutritionally support  physical and mental performance, relieve fatigue and build strength.

This product from Nature's Plus Herbal Actives range contains Schisandra fruit extract which is uniformly standardised to a minimum of 9% (18 mg) schisandrins to guarantee that each and every capsule provides consistent potency and activity.

Each capsule, providing the greatest concentration of active botanical principles, maximises the synergistic benefits of the whole fruit, which naturally contains lignans and B-bisabolene.  

The adaptogenic properties of the herb, combined with Schisandra's liver supporting applications and its ability to support mental function make it easy to understand how the word 'tonic' became associated with this particular herb.
