Schisandra
Brand: Moon Juice
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The active compound in this product is organic Schisandra berry powder. At a cellular level, Schisandra acts as a potent adaptogen. It contains lignans (schisandrins) that activate the Nrf2 pathway, which regulates the body's antioxidant response. This process increases the production of endogenous enzymes like glutathione, protecting liver cells (hepatocytes) from toxins and oxidative stress. By modulating the immune system, it helps reduce 'inflammaging'—chronic inflammation that accelerates cellular aging—allowing for better energy production and cellular repair.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports liver detoxification and function
- Reduces signs of inflammaging
- Enhances physical stamina and energy
- Improves mental focus and cognitive performance
- Provides antioxidant protection against free radicals
Usage & Safety
Best practices: Mix 1 teaspoon (2 grams) of powder into water, smoothies, or tea. It is water-soluble. For optimal absorption, take on an empty stomach in the morning. Consistent daily use is recommended for adaptogenic effects. Consult a healthcare provider if taking medications, as Schisandra may affect liver enzymes that metabolize certain drugs.
