Schisandra chinensis extract

Schisandra chinensis is a deciduous woody vine native to forests of Northern China and the Russian Far East. It is hardy in USDA Zone 4. The plant likes some shade with moist, well-drained soil. The species itself is dioecious, thus flowers on a female plant will only produce fruit when fertilized with pollen from a male plant. However, a hybrid selection titled 'Eastern Prince' has perfect flowers and is self-fertile. Seedlings of 'Eastern Prince' are sometimes sold under the same name, but are typically single-sex plants.

Schisandra, also known as wu-wei-zi has a long history of use in ancient Chinese medicine as an herb capable of promoting general well-being and enhancing vitality.
In addition to its traditional uses for promoting energy and alleviating exhaustion caused by stress, schisandra has historically been taken to strengthen the sex organs, to promote mental function, to beautify the skin and to treat night sweats, asthma, cough, and insomnia.
