The tiny Schizandra berry has been a medicinal gem in Chinese medicine for over three thousand years and because of lack of transportation or access to traditional Chinese medicine, Schizandra remained a bit of a secret to the remainder of the world. Until now. Dr. Oz shared some of the amazing benefits Schizandra can provide to your body when taken daily and even touted this berry as a “miracle pill for anti-aging.” Younger skin is the tip of the iceberg for benefits to the body; want to lower stress hormones, help your body cope with fatigue, and enhance youth while extending your life? Take a look at how this is possible with Schizandra with Dr. Oz’s top three reasons to start taking this supplement now.
Schizandra naturally boosts energy levels because of its adaptogenic nature. This powerful berry improves cell function and formation causing a natural increase in energy that is sent throughout the body. Because this energy is produced by your system and is based on need, there is no spike now and crash later. If you struggle with fatigue issues Schizandra makes a wonderful addition to your day to provide your body with the resources it needs to naturally fuel your system. Say goodbye to the 4 o’clock cup of coffee with a natural source of energy every single day!- Mental concentration and focus are improved by taking a Schizandra supplement daily. This adaptogen is able to keep the brain sharp, boost function, and improve concentration. Want to enhance mental clarity, recall, and focus? Schizandra is a natural answer for that! And, add this to the list of Schizandra’s benefits to the body: as a powerful adaptogen this tiny berry has proven beneficial in reducing the complaints associated with mood or anxiety disorders.
- The main focus of Schizandra from Dr. Oz’s show centered on the benefits it can provide to skin and the ability to help you look years younger. This “modern fountain of youth” provides a clearer complexion, improved skin elasticity and diminished appearance of scars or wrinkles; these were the favorite benefits noted in studies and research among women of varying age groups. These improvements to skin are a possibility without visits to the doctor, harmful chemicals, treatments that are painful, or expensive therapies.
Capsules are considered the best method of use because the 5 flavor berry (spicy, sweet, sour, salty, bitter) isn’t a taste everyone can appreciate. When choosing a tea, tincture, or whole berry as the form of Schizandra intake, a greater quantity will be needed and the strong tastes can discourage some from continuing use in order to gain the benefits. Capsules, like Kroeger Herb’s Concentrate, guarantee a high dose of the berry without interfering with your taste buds.
We’re happy to see the buzz surrounding a berry we already strongly believe in. We wouldn’t stock our shelves with a product we didn’t know could greatly benefit your life.

Thank You HANNA on Board with DR OZ ;)….I just took a Schiz….with all the Environmental Toxins–I like to have an Herbal-Shield to protect my Cells. Now I am looking at one of my Herbal Sources–which reveals that the Schiz increases the Enzyme Production of the LIVER and then THAT is what enables the Metabolism and Elimination of Toxins–Hmmmm–Not Bad 4 a BERRY!–and those Toxins are what cause Premature Aging when the Skin is exposed to all sorts of Fumes….so it seems the Schiz ZAPS right at the Root of the Environmental-Stress factor–

I can’t swallow pills. Can I crush the pill? Do you have sub lingual drops or a liquid Schizandra?
Hi MaryAnn,
We do not have Schizandra in sublingual or liquid form. They are capsules, not tablets though, so you could open the capsule and mix into food or liquid. Keep in mind it is also called the five flavored berry, so it is sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungent all at the same time and won’t be something to enhance the flavor of your food or water/juice. Take it like medicine instead and mix with a small amount of food or liquid and then consume it.
