What is Schisandra?
Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis) is a climbing plant that produces many small, bright red berries. This plant has a rich history in traditional Eastern medicine. The berries are picked and dried for use in various products, such as tea, powder and tinctures. Schisandra has been used for centuries, often alongside other potent herbs such as ginseng and reishi.
What are the benefits of Schisandra?
Schisandra is known for helping the body adapt to stressful situations*. This berry is rich in vitamin E and minerals such as iron, copper, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc and manganese. Schisandra also contains bioactive compounds such as lignans, flavonoids, essential oils and polysaccharides. Most of its health benefits come from the lignans in Schisandra.
The most potent compounds in Schisandra
The lignans in Schisandra, also known as 'schisandra lignans', are plant compounds that play a role in the plant's structure and defence. Research shows that these lignans have anti-inflammatory effects in both the gut and the nervous system. They do this by inhibiting pro-inflammatory substances and increasing short-chain fatty acids, which support the gut microbiome [source].
Possible side effects
Schisandra is generally considered very safe, with no known side effects or drawbacks. Although rare, individual sensitivity may cause mild digestive discomfort at higher doses. Schisandra is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as its effects in these situations have not yet been sufficiently studied.
