What is it?
Also called Chinese magnolia and lemonwood, schisandra berries are the fruit of the schisandra plant. It is a woody vine that grows endemically in China and some parts of Russia. Schisandra berries are globular and with a red skin color. The seeds are kidney-shaped.
The taste of schisandra berry is unique. In Chinese, schisandra is called “Wu Wei Zi” which means “the five-flavoured berry.” From this you can easily guess that the fruit has five tastes all once: sweet, sour, salty, hot and bitter—an exotic taste that can easily pucker your face in more ways than one.
Schisandra berries have been a part of Chinese, Ayurvedic and Japanese herbal medicine since antiquity. It has been in existence as far back as the first century BC where this fruit was used to increase energy, treat pulmonary diseases and digestive problems. Classical Chinese textbooks describe schisandra as a high grade herbal drug that’s especially effective as a kidney tonic and stamina booster—a tonic widely consumed by Daoist masters and Chinese royalty.
Although schisandra berries can’t just be tossed into your morning blender drink, its nutritional density and the health benefits it brings is truly a wonder. That’s why the nutritional content of this berry has been harnessed and included into different schisandra products like organic schisandra berry powder, dried schisandra berries and schisandra supplements.
Schisandra contains active lignans and schisandrin. These two compounds were found to have liver-protective capabilities. According to studies, schisandrin aids in controlling the release of leukocytes, the compound that promotes inflammation. At the same time, it also helps in tissue repair and regeneration. The fat soluble compounds in schisandra help the liver function properly and protect it from toxins.
Acetylcholine is one of the most important chemicals in the brain. Its primary function is to promote learning and increase attention span and alertness. However, due to stress and other factors, acetylcholine is often broken down quickly which results to brain problems like Alzheimer’s, brain fog and the like. Schisandra has the capacity to prevent acetylcholine from breaking down thus preventing the development of brain-related issues.
