BulkSupplements.com Organic Schisandra Extract Powder - Schisandra Supplement, from Schisandra Berries, Herbal Supplement - Gluten Free - 1g per Serving, 500g (1.1 lbs) (Pack of 1)

I put a gram of this schisandra in my coffee every morning and it really helps deliver the overall health benefits of the grand organic coffee bean...

It is clean. It has a pleasant taste. It devolves easily in my coffee. No waste packaging. The company shipped quickly and are dependable. Great value for money.

The Schisandra Chinesis fruit has been used in traditional ancient physical treatment in china as a means to improve performance of several inner organs, albeit the fact that western medicine finds no evidence to support the idea, more and more of this so called adaptogens are finding adepts, specially amongst those prone to stress, high levels of cortisol, and those with vision related problems, usually in conjunction with other herbs or fruits.I have personally found them to be very effective in my stress management and vision improving strategy as recommended some years ago by nutritionist for a retina related problem. It seems the overall effect would be helping to strengthen the capilar irrigatory system in the long use. The package clearly states that is a nutritional supplement only.This extract seems strong, a little spicy as it should, and with good color and aroma.The problem with this particular brand is in the packaging.Firstly, the package is strong, durable, is metal/plastic to keep the contents in good state, however the closing plastic inner strips are so slim that a little of the powder can get in the middle and prevent any form of physical closure; After dusting (product powder) it out with a piece of paper, it kind of closes but not very firmly so it cannot be stored horizontally anymore.Secondly, the package does not include any measure (plastic spoon) so you have to have one handy. (Maybe this is expected as the brand is for "Bulk" packaging and they say you have to have your own measuring spoon.)And thirdly, the package is missing the graphics or photograph of the actual fruit the extract is made of, as it was expected since the ones on the product page do have them. That sounds as minor but when you have several packages of several things, it always helps having the picture of what you're getting without having to read the rear description.Nevertheless, I always put the quantity I need for some weeks intake in some other small plastic recipients so I don't have to open continuously the original packaging.

This company has very great supplies! I have health issues and going a healing journey and there herbs have saved my life and the prices are awesome. So far one of the best prices for herbs and vitamins! Thank you all for making supplies that have saved my life!

Part of my daily routine

The bag is not well made. Zipper part of the bag was broken as soon as I opened the bag. So l had to find the another zipper bag to keep powder.

Low quality Schisandra- Replacing bag (other brand) which I made capsules from. This brand -usually excellent- let me down. The Schisandra should be deep red/burgandy colour. this is pale in colour and makes me doubt the potency.

Schisandra seems to reduce the elevation of cortisol that comes from stress. It is often paired with rhodiola rosea and with panax ginseng, both of which have complimentary adoptogenic effects.Schisandra has been shown to accumulate in the brain, heart kidney and liver of rats, which are the same organs that traditional medicine has said it benefits.It can help with memory and learning when these cognitive functions are impaired by stress. It also seems to be able to downregulate inflammation in glial cells of the brain, suggesting it might be helpful for Alzheimer's Disease.Based on animal experiments, Schisandra seems slightly increase the chance of surviving life-threatening heatstroke. By the same mechanism it may be able to delay or lessen the severity of heat exhaustion caused by exertion in high heat, and perhaps offer an increase tolerance to heat stress from ongoing exposure to high temperatures, such as during a heat wave.Schisandra has a cardioprotective effect for heart muscle, and seems to increase blood flow and nitric oxide slightly.Finally, Schisandra seems to beneficially increase anti-oxidative enzymes.The powder should probably be dosed at 1 to 3 grams per day.Schisandra is traditionally contraindicated during pregnancy.It might reduce the clearing of some prescription drugs, so consult your doctor about possible harmful interactions.
