Nutrients

Schizandra extract comes from the little red berries on the plant. These are more concentrated with nutrients than the leaves. The biggest reason the berries are used are because they contain the lignans. The lignans are responsible for the liver health promoting properties of the plant. They aid in the regeneration of liver cells. This is especially beneficial after the mass consumption of alcohol which destroys liver cells.
