Content: 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. His use case for schisandra was primarily to treat adrenal fatigue and people struggling with poor cortisol levels. I’ve never taken this personally as I don’t suffer from acute stress or anxiety often. His recommendation does mean a lot and it seems to be one of the more popular adaptogenic herbs within the Chinese medicine pantheon. Mansal Denton, Nootropedia Editor
