Summary
The Chinese were incredibly adept at discovering plants with medical uses. Scouring their environment, medicine men and women found natural performance enhancing compounds and studied their effects over time. Schisandra is a popular adaptogenic herb within traditional Chinese medicine. Modern scientific research has validated some of the claims. One of the many schizandra berry benefits is to reduce stress and feelings of fatigue. A study suggests the fruit does so by reducing cortisol levels [1]. These adaptogenic benefits make schisandra effective for many types of environmental stressors. Beyond the stress relieving schisandra benefits, there are anti-inflammatory effects [2], memory and cognition enhancement [3], and can reduce symptoms of anxiety [4]. Also Known As

Editors’ Thoughts on Schisandra
I first learned about schisandra from Evan Brand on the Brain Optimization Summit. He’s a very knowledgeable practitioner with many years of adaptogen experience so I trust his judgement.
