Since the climbing plant has citrus-like red berries, it is also called as the Chinese berry grape or the Chinese lime tree. The aroma of this berry is still not known for our taste buds. In China, the Schisandra is known as "Wu Wei Zi", which translated means "cabbage of the 5 flavours" and is known for more than 2000 years as a traditional medicinal plant.. The Schisandra berry is interesting because it leaves a wide range of impressions in terms of taste. The five flavours are, namely: bitter, sweet and salty, sour and spicy. These taste impulses are assigned respectively to each of the five elements of the Chinese nutritional medicine, namely fire and earth, water and wood and metal. Already the variety of the taste shows the extraordinary qualities of the Schisandra fruits.

In the East Asian healing tradition - especially in traditional Chinese medicine, but also in Japan and Korea - the mature citrus-like fruits of the Schisandra have been used for thousands of years in various ways. The Schisandra fruit contains a wealth of valuable bioactive ingredients. The fruit pulp of the Schisandra fruit contains more than 30 different lignans, as the most important ingredient. These are estrogen-like substances or phyto-hormones that are effective as antioxidants. Moreover, the red Schisandra berries contain essential oils, larger amounts of vitamin C and vitamin E, Beta-carotene as well as B vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B6. The “mineral richness” of Schisandra fruit is also remarkable. In addition to magnesium, the fruit also contains calcium, iron and various fruit acids. In the traditional Chinese medicine, the balance of all elements is considered as a decisiveapproach to good health.

By nature, the Schisandra fruit is blessed with more than 30 lignans. These occur in different parts of the plant Schisandra chinensis. This includes the lignan "Schisandrin". As phytochemicals having a hormone-like structure, such phytoestrogens have an antioxidant effect. The plant uses the phyto-hormones to control its own growth. In addition, plant hormones play a role in the defense against pathogens that could harm the plant. As concerns further ingredients found in the Schisandra fruit there are moreover 13% protein, fiber and carbohydrates. For the human organism, the properties of vegetable lignans as radical scavengers are particularly interesting.

The Schisandra extract that we use is made from the ripe fruits of the climbing plant and without the addition of any other ingredients in China. The high-purity extract from the Schisandra berries has a standardized content of schisandrine. As concerns the production of our Schisandra products, aroma additions, the mixing of the Schisandra extract with plant components of other plants or the addition of synthetic substances are completely renounced. Our customers always buy the pure natural extract from the Chinese Schisandra variety. We guarantee the purity and quality of our natural products with our good name.

The question regarding the suitability of Schisandra capsules and its purposes is especially for vegans and vegetarians very interesting. Since the pure Schisandra extract from the fruits of the plant is enclosed in the capsules, the contents remain without any animal component. We guarantee that the coating of the preparation is also vegetarian and vegan, because it does not contain any animal gelatine. The capsule shell of ZeinPharma is made from pure cellulose. The leaves of the Schisandra shrub are not used for our fruit extracts.

The Schisandra extracts used in our preparations are carefully checked for possible contamination with microorganisms, pesticides or heavy metals in our test laboratories. Impurities or contaminants of any kind are not part of our high-quality plant extracts. For the production of our preparations, we only use basic pure substances, the safety of which has been certified by our laboratory staff.

In order to present you a as natural as possible product, we only use a few production steps. The Schisandra extracts we use are produced by washing the fruits and carefully squeezing them, hence the Schisandra extract is obtained  from the washed fruit. The highly concentrated Schisandra extract is then again washed and then finely ground. In order to exclude any contamination of the capsules by solid ingredients, the powder extract is passed through a fine sieve under the mill. Therefore you  can have the assurance that only the finest Schisandra powder is contained in your capsule.
