In the movie The Karate Kid, Mr. Miyagi urges the main character Daniel to find “balance”.  Daniel could have just as easily taken Schizandra Berry extract to achieve balance.  Whether you are trying to get going in the morning or trying to wind down at night Schizandra will help you to go from an extreme to a normalized state.  The Schizandra Berry extract can be found in our Premium Detox 7 Day Comprehensive Cleansing Program.  For thousands of years the Schizandra berry has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to help promote a stable mental state, strengthen the sex organs, help with respiratory problems and beautify the skin.  Some of the Schizandra berry’s useful attributes include the ability to increase the ability to enable people to adapt to darkness better, to increase their mental and physical exercise capacities and to stimulate the central nervous system without making the user feel restless. It also helps to protect the adrenal glands from the effects of being over stressed.  Schizandra berry extract is used to help treat liver disorders and to stimulate the immune system. Schizandra tonic is referred to by the Chinese as Wu Wei Zi, or the “five-flavored seed” because it tastes sweet, sour, acrid, bitter and salty all at the same time.  For centuries the Chinese have recognized the power of the Schizandra herb to increase stamina, sexual function, promote longevity and relieve symptoms of fatigue, exhaustion and lack of energy.  Chinese women have used Schizandra berry extract to allow their skin to retain moisture thus giving them a more youthful appearance.  Schizandra has also been found to help alleviate chronic coughs, alleviate asthmatic symptoms and helps expel phlegm from the respiratory system.  It is also helpful in increasing circulation and maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. Traditional Chinese herbalists have long used Schizandra to cleanse and detoxify the liver and to regenerate liver tissue.  This is why it has been useful in the treatment of hepatitis patients.
