## About
Sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungent, all in one small crimson berry: that is the old claim behind the name wu wei zi, the five-flavor berry. Its five flavors were read as a small emblem of balance, a whole world held in a single fruit.Schisandra chinensis grows in loose clusters along a woody vine that climbs through northern forest. This extract is drawn from the berry alone, concentrated twenty to one, and packed into a plain vegan capsule with nothing else added.In Chinese tradition schisandra was prized as a tonic fit for scholars and court physicians rather than an everyday herb for the common table, and it was traditionally valued for endurance, clear skin and a steady, unclouded mind. It is taken as a slow, steady habit rather than an occasional dose.DetailsBotanical name: Schisandra chinensis (wu wei zi)Part used: the berry aloneStrength: 20:1 extractCapsule: plain vegan capsule, nothing else addedHow to useTake two capsules daily, as part of a steady routine.
