Schisandra Description

Schisandra berry is a core tonic herb that strengthens the body's overall health, stabilizes the expression of emotions, clears the mind from distraction and awakens the flow of spirit, thus encouraging greater will to endure challenges and reinforcing peace in one's personal purpose.*

It’s Chinese name is ‘Wu-Wei-Zi’, meaning ‘five taste fruit’. The fruit comes from the crawling vine that grows in China, Russia, Korea, and the United States. The vine contains tiny red berries that taste sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and pungent; all the five flavors of Chinese Classical Herbalism at the same time!*

Tonic Tinctures' Schisandra is formulated to harness all the flavors so that it have the effect of boosting other tonics, foods and drinks.* In other words, it enhances whatever we take with it, including other supplements.* Nevertheless, because schisandra is a ‘five taste fruit’ it may be used as a stand-alone daily tonic to support holistic wellness.*

Schisandra's constituents are various, some of which are:

• Polyphenols including the red and purple antioxidant pigments that are known to support vascular and liver health.*
• Lignans which are plant hormones that support liver enzyme functions for the cleansing of blood and detoxification of tissues.*
• Phytosterols are raw materials for adrenal and other glandular hormones necessary for endocrine health and stress support.*
• Vitamins such as A, C, E which are essential nutrients for various bodily processes.*
• Bio-available minerals from the fertile river plains, in which schisandra vine grows, that maintain overall wellness.*

Here is a summary of Schisandra’s five tastes, the corresponding Chinese herbal element, and what they do:

• Sweet (Earth) - building and tonifying to body and directly effects digestive health.*
• Sour (Wood) - has releasing properties and is soothing to the nerves while assisting tissue and liver cleansing.*
• Salty (Water)- maintains healthy water metabolism and kidney/adrenal function. *
• Bitter (Fire) - antioxidant or protective function that cleanses toxins from the liver and bodily cells.*
• Pungent (Metal) - supports circulation metabolism and supports lung health.*

Schisandra has it all!

Because it promotes holistic health it is easy to add to any supplement program for its adaptogenic benefits of balancing the body, emotions, mind and spirit towards homeostasis.*

Tonic Tinctures is a special low alcohol formula of freshly sourced organically China grown schisandra berries, this is where schisandra is naturally native and cultivated by individual family farmers as part of their agricultural commune along the rivers, such as the Yangtze.*

Tonic Tinctures goes through a meticulous multi-step extraction process to balance the five flavor profiles of this powerful fruit - sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and pungent.*

It is an expertly made extraction; NOT dilutions commonly found in the marketplace. This tincture is plenty potent and is perfectly preserved to maintain the vibrant red-purple color of the polyphenol pigments.*

As schisandra itself is a concentrated fruit, a little goes a long way. Please see our homepage for more information about how we make it.*

How to take Schisandra

 

 

Take as desired: consume on a continuous basis to develop the natural tonic and adaptogenic benefits that build over time.* Some benefits are immediate and some results require consumption over several days and weeks to accomplish.* A good tonic cycle is 45-90 days of a tonic adaptogen which will generate lasting health changes.*

Shake gently: secure the lid and turn the bottle over back-and-forth 3-5 times to evenly distribute the tincture. Do not over-shake as the vigorous mixing of air with the extract will oxidize and damage many of the necessary constituents for required dosage and potency.

By mouth: hold the liquid under the tongue for 60-90 seconds and then swallow the rest of extract; doing so allows digestion to begin in the mouth and will take advantage of the activated multi-step extract so that many of the constituents will bypass digestion and enter the body through the mouth and throat.* Holding the extract also promotes better absorption and assimilation and elicits an immediate effect that is performance oriented*

Mix with water: squirt the drops or entire droppers into 2-4 oz. of water that is under 120*F. Water that is cool to lukewarm temperature is best to preserve the volatile and fragile constituents from being damaged and denatured which will reduce the potency of the extract.* Sip slowly to allow absorption in the mouth and throat.* This method makes it easier to become accustomed to the extract and to take larger doses of several different tinctures at once in a tonic program.*

For maximum potency: regularly consume the tincture within a period of 45 days; after 45 days of continuous consumption the extract may begin to gradually lose potency requiring a larger dosage to achieve similar benefit.* A bottle will generally last 10-30 days depending on dosage and concurrent supplementation programming.*

 

Benefits with tonics take time; taking enough consistently rewards health.
