Schisandra berry, also known as Schisandra chinensis, is a woody vine native to China and parts of Russia. Its berries have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries for their various health benefits.
 
Schisandra is known for its adaptogenic properties, which means it helps the body adapt to stress and improve overall resilience. It is also believed to have antioxidant properties, which help to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.
 
In addition to its adaptogenic and antioxidant properties, schisandra is believed to have a range of other health benefits. It may help to improve liver function, support cognitive function, and improve physical performance. It is also believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, and may help to reduce inflammation in the body.
 
The active compounds in schisandra berries include lignans, which are believed to be responsible for many of its health benefits. Schisandra can be consumed in a variety of forms, including as a tea, tincture, or supplement.
 
While schisandra is generally considered safe for most people when consumed in moderation, excessive use may lead to side effects such as upset stomach and skin rash. It may also interact with certain medications, so it is important to speak with a healthcare provider before using schisandra as a supplement or for medicinal purposes.
