Schisandra has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, and is reported to help develop and protect and balance the body. It may also play a role in supporting the overall immune system. Aside from the vitamin C you’ll get from schisandra berry, it can also act as an adaptogen, an ingredient that can help bring our bodies back to their ideal, balanced state. Schisandra is described as having five tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, pungent, and sour. Consider blending into your daily smoothie or energy drinks, or make into a soothing tea. You can already feel the “ahhh..”.
