About this product
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.
