China's Most Potent Medicinal Berry

The schisandra berry is grown primarily in China’s Upper Yangtze region and is finally becoming well known outside of China, for its many health benefits. The benefits of the schisandra berry are not just folklore.

Clinical Studies Have Indicated that the Schisandra Berry May:

1. Improve cognitive function

2. Enhance libido

3. Reduce stress

4. Enhance athletic performance

5. Improve heart function

6. Possibly fight cancer

To sustain and to even increase the wild schisandra berry yields, the villagers are now only harvesting the bottom two-thirds of the vines. This is so the birds and other wildlife are able to eat the berries and to drop the seeds throughout the mountain forests.
