Known for millennia in China as wu wei zi, traditional Chinese medicine also calls it “the fruit of love”. Hepatoprotective and adaptogenic, Schisandra reinforces the activity of the organism.
The general action of Schisandra allows rapid improvement of physical and emotional stress. It increases energy for greater resistance to physical and intellectual effort.

It is indeed an activator, at the level of the central nervous system, of the five senses: taste, smell, hearing, sight and touch. Its anti-fatigue properties make it an aphrodisiac as popular as Ginseng.
In women, Schisandra stimulates the senses and intensifies pleasure. In men, it supports sexual stamina.
