Biochemistry and Mechanisms
Textbook Excerpt: Systemic Mechanisms
This formulation works synergistically to promote systemic balance and support the internal environment during periods of exertion. The unique constituents in Schisandra berries—specifically lignans (schisandrins), bioflavonoids, and semi-soluble polysaccharides—provide the raw materials necessary to nourish multiple systems, organs, glands, and tissues.
Lignans, particularly schisandrins, work with the neuroendocrine system and the network of glands to maintain a balanced stress response. By supplying raw materials for hormones to the adrenal glands, these constituents allow the body to adapt to various challenges. Furthermore, schisandrins support healthy blood flow to the brain, which maintains healthy communication between nerve cells, allowing you to process information effectively and maintain cognitive focus.
Within the natural elimination pathways (Liver/Kidneys), these lignans and unique constituents promote healthy bile production and flow, metabolizing cellular waste and maintaining tissue cleanliness. To buffer against everyday wear and tear, the rich profile of bioflavonoids and specific botanical pigments provides potent antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, supporting cellular health and longevity.
The botanical's semi-soluble polysaccharides work synergistically to fortify the respiratory system and lung tissues, supporting efficient gas exchange and maintaining clear and open airways. Simultaneously, the constituent synergy of flavonoids and lignans nourishes the cardiovascular system, maintaining the integrity and flexibility of blood vessels to circulate blood and deliver oxygen and nutrients to every cell. Finally, these polysaccharides support the production and activity of digestive enzymes, allowing the body to break down food and assimilate essential nourishment for sustained energy metabolism.
