Schisandra chinensis, commonly known as five-flavor fruit or schisandra berry, is a climbing vine belonging to the Schisandraceae family. This hardy plant is native to the forests of Northeast China and parts of Russia, thriving in well-drained soils and often found in shaded areas. Schisandra is notable for its small red berries, which are characterized by their unique flavor profile that combines sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and pungent tastes—hence the name "five-flavor fruit."

In herbal medicine, schisandra berries have been traditionally used for their adaptogenic properties, believed to help the body adapt to stress and promote overall resilience. The berries can be consumed fresh, dried, or made into teas and tinctures. Historically, schisandra has been valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its potential benefits related to liver health, energy enhancement, and immune support.*
