Schisandra Supplement – 90 Capsules | 4:1 Extract – 2,000mg Equivalent Schisandra Berry | Made in Canada

The Ancient Five-Flavor Berry

Schisandra chinensis, commonly known as Schisandra berry or five-flavor fruit, has been treasured in traditional herbal medicine for thousands of years. Native to the forests of Northern China and Eastern Russia, this distinctive crimson berry earned its unique name from its complex taste profile that encompasses all five flavors: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and pungent. The berry grows on woody vines and has been documented in classical Chinese herbal texts dating back centuries, where it was traditionally regarded as a superior tonic herb valued by emperors and herbalists alike.

The Schisandra berry's natural habitat spans the temperate forests of Northeast Asia, where it thrives in shaded mountainous regions. Harvested in autumn when the berries reach peak maturity, Schisandra fruit contains a unique class of compounds called lignans, with Schisandrin being one of the most studied bioactive constituents. These naturally occurring phytochemicals are concentrated in both the fruit and seeds, making proper extraction methods essential for capturing the plant's full spectrum of beneficial compounds.

Our Premium 4:1 Extract Formula

We've developed our Herba Schisandra supplement using a concentrated 4:1 extract ratio, meaning every 500mg of our extract is equivalent to 2,000mg of dried Schisandra fruit. This concentration process preserves the herb's beneficial compounds while providing convenient daily dosing. Our formula is standardized to contain 1% Schisandrin, ensuring consistent potency across every batch and every bottle you purchase from us.

What sets our Schisandra supplement apart is our commitment to purity and quality manufacturing standards. We produce our formula in Canada following current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), adhering to the highest pharmaceutical-grade production protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous third-party testing to verify potency, purity, and freedom from contaminants, giving you confidence in what you're putting into your body.

Clean, Simple Ingredients

We believe in transparency and simplicity when it comes to supplement formulation. Our Schisandra capsules contain only what's necessary: the concentrated Schisandra chinensis fruit extract as the medicinal ingredient, housed in vegetable capsules made from hypromellose. The only non-medicinal ingredients we use are brown rice flour and l-leucine—both serving functional purposes in manufacturing without compromising quality or purity.

Our formula is intentionally free from common allergens and unnecessary additives. We've created a supplement that's completely vegan-friendly, non-GMO, and free from gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. Each bottle contains 90 vegetable capsules, providing between one to three months of supply depending on your usage pattern.

Adaptogenic Support from Nature

In herbal medicine traditions, Schisandra is classified as an adaptogen—a category of herbs used to help the body adapt to various forms of stress. Adaptogens have a long history of traditional use for supporting the body's resilience and maintaining balance during challenging times.

Recommended Uses

Our Herba Schisandra supplement is used in herbal medicine as an adaptogen to help increase energy and resistance to stress over time (e.g. in case of mental and physical fatigue related to stress).
