Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis) – Schisandra is an East Asian climbing plant with red berries. In traditional Chinese herbal lore, it is also called the five-flavour fruit.
Its natural ingredients include different compounds depending on the raw material. Characteristic substances include dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans, for example schisandrin. The berries also contain other accompanying plant substances.
Plant ingredients form during growth and can change depending on climate, location, harvest time and processing. The botanical name, the part of the plant used and the extract form are therefore more meaningful than a general plant name alone.
A look at the form of raw material used reveals further special features. Schisandra chinensis is also known by its Chinese name wu wei zi. In this product, Fairvital combines fruit powder and extract, so that both the ground fruit and a concentrated plant extract are included.
