Schisandra Extract: Nature’s Adaptogenic Powerhouse | Premium Supplier Guide

1. What is Schisandra Extract?

Schisandra extract is a potent bioactive concentrate derived from the dried berries of Schisandra chinensis (Chinese Magnolia Vine) or Schisandra sphenanthera. Revered for millennia in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a premier adaptogen, it contains a unique complex of dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans—primarily schisandrin, deoxyschisandrin, γ-schisandrin, schisantherin A/B, and gomisins. These lignans are responsible for its characteristic “five flavors” (sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter) and its diverse physiological effects, particularly supporting hepatic function, cognitive performance, stress resilience, and cellular antioxidant defense.
