Content: By downregulating certain “cytokines” and other inflammatory markers, this provides cognitive protective benefits. One molecule (schisandrin C) can even induce a pathway known as NRF2 similar to broccoli sprouts (sulfurophane) [9]. Memory and learning ability also increases while using shisandra fruit. According to one study, schizandra berry removed beta-amyloid pigmentation, which is a key sign of Alzheimer’s disease [10]. The compound exerted neuroprotective effects against toxins to the brain as well [11]. Schisandra berry will reduce cortisol levels associated with stress and lessen symptoms of anxiety [12]. There is some confounding evidence in this department, namely that studies were done with rhodiola rosea and southern ginseng which both have adaptogenic properties [13]. The final of many schisandra benefits relates to longevity and aging. The hormetic effect described above creates a response, which can enhance our mitochondrial health (the power generators of each of our cells) [14]. With healthier mitochondria, they can produce more energy (ATP) and function more effectively for optimal physical and mental performance.
