Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years as a tonic for the liver, kidneys, and nervous system, schisandra’s lignans (particularly schisandrin B) are among the most hepatoprotective compounds known, stimulating liver detoxification enzymes, reducing liver inflammation, and improving both mental and physical performance under stress. One of the world’s most complete adaptogens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiver protection \u0026amp; regeneration · Adaptogenic stress response · Mental performance \u0026amp; focus · Physical endurance · Kidney \u0026amp; adrenal tonic · Skin health \u0026amp; anti-ageing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimmer 1–2 tsp dried schisandra berries in 300ml water for 10–15 mins.
