Been taking for years. I loved the original reset ad. It was in there. It's very good for you. It does make me lose weight also. It very inexpensive and it works good, with no side effects. Also I've given it to my dogs, as I saw the improvement in myself. Just thought you could use it, for the things mentioned on here. I don't take the juice or whatever you guys call it. Never had a problem with men that take it. Actually some boyfriends, I preferred they take it. I have dated professionals in mma, so I am familiar with the need also. Schizandra fruit is a very good product.

Schisandra is pretty nice. There isn't much research on it here, but there are a ton of old Russian studies on it, showing improvements in endurance, physical and mental performance, alertness, fatigue, etc.

One thing to be aware of is that most extracts standardized for schisandrins are according to UV, not HPLC. UV readings are often 2-3x higher than HPLC, so a 9% UV may only be around 3% HPLC or so. HPLC extracts are more expensive, but allow for more accurate dosing.

Studies tend to use 5-20mg schisandrins. It also goes well with rhodiola (another awesome adaptogen) and Eleuthero.

It works good by itself also. Natures way makes a good one. I used to use 2 capsules but I use one. Two relaxes me, so I use one. Rhodiola is very unpredictable in my opinion .

It's also good for horses. There are some very promising studies showing it can improve race time, endurance, and recovery in horses. I actually tested it on a dressage horse and was quite pleased with it!

What did you find unpredictable about Rhodiola?

I do like schisandra for its its many potential benefits.

Some days it relaxed me, others energized me. Could have been what I was stacking it with, but when I upped and lowered the dose, it was rhodiola doing it.

It's totally safe for dogs. I used for many years on my dogs, even when they had cancer.,

Swanson sells a 9% standardized extract. Just be conscious of the extract when looking as a lot are not standardized and broad spectrum.

I think Bulk Supplements has a powder that gets good reviews. Don’t recall if they state an extract percentage though.

Have not used this ingredient yet, but if I pick some up that is what I'll go with based on the research and standardization.
