Schisandra Berry | Dual Extract | Full Spectrum | Wild Harvested
✧ What is Schisandra Berry?
Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis) is the famous five-flavour berry of Traditional Chinese Medicine, wu wei zi, so named because it carries all five of the classical tastes at once: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungent. A deep red berry from a climbing forest vine, it has been treasured for centuries as one of the great tonic herbs.
Ours is a concentrated dual extract of the berry, capturing both its water-soluble and its fat-soluble compounds, so the full, layered character of the fruit comes through.
✧ What is a dual extract, and why does it matter?
The most valued compounds in many tonic herbs sit in two different fractions: water-soluble compounds that release into hot water, and fat-soluble compounds that only release into alcohol. A dual extract performs both, then concentrates the result at a 10:1 ratio, capturing the full spectrum of the herb's chemistry in a form the body can readily absorb.
The liquid extract is dried with fine spray technology into a micro-fine powder. As a dual extract it carries both water-soluble and fat-soluble compounds, so it is best stirred into hot water; a little may not fully dissolve, which is normal for a true full spectrum dual extract. Nothing is added, and nothing is standardised away.
