Schizandra
Extract: Schizandra is an adaptogenic herb. Chinese
herbalists use it as a general tonic. It helps the body adapt to
stress and nourishes the nervous system. Chinese consider
Schizandra a high grade herbal drug (nutraceutical) useful for a
variety of medical conditions- especially as a kidney tonic and
lung astringent. It is used for coughs, night sweats, insomnia
and physical exhaustion. Modern Chinese research suggests that
the lignans in Schizandra regenerate the liver tissue damaged by
harmful influences such as viral hepatitis and alcohol. It also
may help the body better utilize oxygen thereby reducing fatigue
and building strength. It is rich in phytosterols, lignans,
vitamins C and E, stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol which have a
positive effect on cholesterol levels. |
