About Schisandra

Plant: Schisandra chinensis

An adaptogen that lowers circulating stress hormones and provides deep liver protection. Used in Babesia protocols, most often as part of a combined tincture blend with Korean ginseng and licorice rather than as a standalone.

Reference dosing

Dosing	No individual dose is documented — only as part of the SPL Herbal Mix blend (Schisandra + Korean ginseng + Licorice), dosed at 2.5ml 3 times daily at 1:5 concentration for the blend as a whole.
Capsule dose (mg)	No capsule mg dose is documented in the source material for this herb.

Not documented as a standard alcohol tincture ratio in the source material — dosed as capsules/extract instead.

Not for use in acute nervous hyperexcitability, severe insomnia, severe hypertension, or organic heart disorders.

Capsule whole-herb extracts vary by manufacturer (a concentrated extract needs less than a plain powder). Treat these figures as a guide only and follow the product label.

These are figures from the sources used on this site. They are not a prescription. Follow the product label and your prescriber.

Safety and cautions

Contraindications: Not for use in severe hypertension, organic heart disorders, acute nervous hyperexcitability, or severe insomnia.

Herbs can interact with prescription medicines and other supplements. Check with your prescriber or pharmacist first, and do not use herbs in pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless a doctor agrees.
