BEEF SPLEEN SUPPORTS...  Optimal Spleen Health Based On "Like Supports Like" Immune System Health  Inflammatory Health  Digestive Health (this is widely recognized Traditional Chinese Medicine)  Blood Health With 12.5 MG of Glandular Derived Heme Iron Per Ounce  — Traditional peoples, Native Americans and early ancestral healers believed that eating the organs from a healthy animal would strengthen and support the health of the corresponding organ of the individual * —  NOURISH YOUR WAY TO HEALTH & HAPPINESS WITH GRASS FED BEEF SPLEEN * For most of human history, we effortlessly consumed (nose-to-tail) the things we needed for strength, health and happiness. Like the fertile ground that we once walked upon, we were a natural extension of this earth. In the modern world, we unknowingly struggle to fulfill our nutritional needs in order to support and sustain a vibrant, disease-free life. We are now part of a world where immune system maladies run amuck. Whole food, nutrient dense organs and glands can provide great benefit for those seeking targeted support in harmony with nature — the old fashioned way, the way that our early ancestors did. Grassfed Beef Spleen is a whole food dietary supplement that provides 100% pure bovine spleen. This whole food provides proteins exclusively expressed in spleen tissue as well as various peptides, such as tuftsin and splenopentin, which have been shown to enhance and modulate immune health.*[2] Our mission is our purpose... putting back in, what the modern world has left out. [ FACT: Spleen has five times more heme iron than liver. One ounce of beef spleen provides 12.5 MG of heme iron. One ounce of beef liver provides 2.5 MG of heme iron.[10] ]  New Zealand — Our product is 100% sourced in New Zealand. In agricultural circles, it's known that the clean air, green pastures, and animal husbandry is at a higher level  Ultra Pure — Our product is 100% pure... This means that you won't see any of the extra stuff that most supplement companies include to save time and money (stearates, silica, etc)  Freeze Dried — Our product is 100% freeze dried in contrast to the heat processed varieties. This means that you get more of the heat sensitive vitamins, minerals and co-factors that make organ meats so incredibly nourishing CONSIDER THE SOURCE New Zealand seems like it was made for raising healthy cattle. Its location and climate produce pristine conditions for cattle, and the farmers have uncanny expertise handed down for generations. New Zealand is unique among meat-producing regions in the world because its climate is moderate so the grass in the pastures grows fresh and grows green year-round which means the cows can eat the food that’s healthiest for them every day of the year. Our nose-to-tail product line is always from grassfed, inspected animals born and raised without the use of pesticides, hormones or antibiotics. Health of livestock used for manufacturing in New Zealand is closely monitored by a world leading biosecurity system that is second to none, and is a global exemplar. Strict government licensing, auditing and certification procedures mean that our genuine New Zealand freeze dried products can be used with complete confidence in their origin, safety and efficacy. Freeze-drying preserves the heat sensitive vitamins, minerals and co-factors of components leaving the nutrients in the same balance as found in nature.    Our product line is 100% additive-free... Absolutely no stearates, lubricants, binders, fillers or flow agents   BENEFITS OF EATING SPLEEN Traditional peoples, Native Americans and early ancestral healers believed that eating the organs from a healthy animal would strengthen and support the health of the corresponding organ of the individual. For instance, the traditional way of treating a person with a weak heart was to feed the person the heart of a healthy animal. Similarly, eating the kidneys of a healthy animal was believed to support urinary ailments and overall kidney health... Pancreas was fed to people with digestive and endocrine problems... and spleen was fed to people with immune and blood deficiencies.*[3] Organ meats were a staple of our early ancestors' diets as the ultimate superfood, for good reason. It turns out, this nourishing tradition is backed by science... "Radioisotope labeling studies in animals have shown conclusively that, when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organs and glands in high concentrations. This research, done at the University of Scotland in Edinburgh, lends credence to the ancient practice of eating animal organs to help ensure health in one’s corresponding organs..." - Dr. Ron Schmid, ND.*[4] Our early ancestors knew this, which is why their traditional diets included the frequent and nourishing consumption of nose-to-tail organ meats. — Based on the ancient ancestral wisdom that "like supports like." Consuming spleen may strengthen and support our own spleen.* — — Unique peptides such as tuftsin & splenopentin have shown to enhance and modulate immune health. While tuftsin stimulates macrophages and other defensive cells, deficiency of tuftsin is linked to bacterial infections *[1] — — Spleen extracts & splenin (a peptide hormone from spleen) further support immune health by increasing the number of neutrophils and macrophages *[1] — BEEF SPLEEN CONTAINS...

The suggested use is 3 to 6 capsules a day or as directed by a healthcare professional — for added support, the dose can be doubled. This supplement can be consumed all at once, or divided servings throughout the day.  HIGH QUALITY ORGANS & GLANDS Okay, you're convinced! You're going to start incorporating organ meats in your routine because, well... you're educated now... you understand, just as our early ancestors did, that they provide superlative health benefits that are missing in our modern diets. The next step is sourcing it. It's important that you source the highest quality because not all organs and glands are created equal. Consider the source.  Should Come From An Unpolluted Geographical Region — Isolated, Healthy, Pristine Lands  Should Come From Pasture Raised Cows Should Come From Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished Cows Should Come From Cows That Are Hormone, Pesticide & GMO Free Should Also Be Ultra Pure... Absolutely No Fillers (or) Flow Agents, No Allergens Should Be Non-Defatted Should Be 100% Freeze Dried... Freeze Drying Preserves Heat Sensitive Biological Activity SUGGESTED SUPPLEMENTS (3) If you're going to pick just one ancestral supplement to start with, make it our GRASS FED BEEF LIVER... unless you need targeted support with another specific organ system (see below). If you are going to pick two supplements, our GRASS FED BEEF LIVER and our GRASS FED BEEF ORGANS provide complementary and synergistic nourishment. If you can add a third supplement, GRASS FED BONE MARROW fills fat soluble nutrition gaps and provides the fat soluble activators that nutrition giant Dr. Weston Price extensively wrote about. Grass Fed Beef Liver Grass Fed Beef Organs (liver, heart, kidney, pancreas, spleen) Grass Fed Bone Marrow On the other hand, if you're looking for targeted organ support, you may be interested in our GRASS FED BEEF HEART to support heart health (or) our GRASS FED THYROID to support a struggling thyroid (or) our GRASS FED SPLEEN to support spleen and immune health... you get the picture.* We have a nose-to-tail product line that can be found on our "Products" page. If you can't find what you're looking for (or) you're not sure what you're looking for, send us an email and we'll do everything we can to help. GRASSFED BEEF SPLEEN SUMMARY Our genome has evolved with the nourishment of nose-to-tail dining since the beginning of time. Grassfed Beef Spleen contains proteins that are exclusively found and expressed in spleen tissue. Based on the concept of "like supports like," consuming spleen may strengthen and support our own spleen.* Spleen extract also provides unique peptides such as tuftsin and splenopentin which may enhance and modulate immune health.*[1] Not all organs and glands are the same. Look for the highest quality beef spleen... It should come from pasture-raised, grass-fed cows that are hormone, pesticide and GMO free. If considering a supplement, look for one that is ultra pure (without binders, fillers (or) flow agents) and look for the freeze dried variety as these have been shown to optimally preserve nutritional factors and co-factors. NOTE: Desiccated spleen (or) whole spleen glandular can be found on the market by various names: whole spleen, spleen extract, desiccated spleen, spleen glandular, standard process PMG (technically a brand) and ovine spleen (sheep). ACTIVATING AN ANCIENT PATHWAY [FOR IMMUNE HEALTH]   Our early ancestors were regularly subjected to cold temperatures. It’s most likely why we humans have brown adipose tissue (BAT). BAT is especially abundant in newborns and in hibernating mammals. It is also present and metabolically active in adult humans and its primary function is thermoregulation.[8] In the modern world though, we are rarely subjected to cold temperatures for any real duration... Let's face it, who likes that uncomfortable frigid feeling that comes with cold, especially when we have access to warmth 24/7. In modern times, we simply put on some clothes… turn up the heater… or we avoid the cold altogether by staying inside. Our potential for strength and health remains encoded in our DNA, and under certain conditions, we can genetically express the strongest, healthiest version of ourselves. Those "certain conditions" almost always have to do with nose-to-tail nutrition. In this instance, it has to do with getting cold. — Improves blood circulation so the arteries work more efficiently at pumping blood, therefore boosting our overall heart health * — — Promotes “hardening,” which results in increased tolerance to stress and disease * — — Upgrades the immune system by increasing glutathione (our master antioxidant) and decreasing inflammatory markers * — Intentional cold exposures initiate adaptive processes and response mechanisms that are hardwired into our genes. We have 60,000 miles of blood vessels within us that are lined with smooth muscles that constrict (or) dilate based on our perception of temperature. This process of vasoconstriction and vasodilation is like exercise for your blood vessels. Cold exposure benefits include boosting heart health through improved circulation and increased tolerance to stress, upgraded immunity, and enhanced metabolic flexibility. Rhonda Patrick, PHD writes “cold exposures increase cold shock proteins including one in the brain that repairs damaged synapses and in muscle prevents atrophy, how cold-induced norepinephrine lowers inflammation and pain by decreasing the levels of 3 inflammatory mediators…”*[9]  This is very, very interesting stuff and it's grounded in evolutionary science.Give it a try. Start with cold / hot shower contrasts for 30 seconds at a time. At first, you'll down right hate me for it because it is down right uncomfortable. Continue the shower contrasts over a 30 day period. Take notice how you feel afterwards... it will keep you coming back for more. It gets easier and easier because the adaptive mechanisms, including the smooth muscles that line the blood vessels, adapt... they get stronger, faster and more efficient at doing what they were designed to do. You will notice that your ability to withstand cold will increase considerably after only a few days. Like any other stressor, we adapt… it gets easier… and it starts to feel amazing.You never know, cold exposures could easily be the missing link to the strength, energy and other health benefits that we are all after. Send me an email... let me know your thoughts... let me know your questions. I'd love to hear from you. Our mission is our purpose... putting back in, what the modern world has left out. LIVER [VS] SPLEEN TO BUILD BLOOD The science supports that consuming spleen tissue from a healthy animal strengthens and supports our own spleen. When our own spleen works better, immune function improves along with blood health. Our own spleen plays a vital role in blood building as it recycles red blood cells, iron, platelets and it maintains a reserve of red blood cells — releasing red blood cells when needed. That said, there's a lot more to the story than just the heme iron that everybody talks about. Spleen works to improve iron status, build blood and support hemoglobin health... but not just for the obvious reason. LIVER  Many of our customers successfully improve their iron status with our stand alone Liver product because it naturally provides cofactors (vitamin A, B12, folate, choline, zinc, copper, etc) that support endogenous iron production, the building of blood and hemoglobin health, along with a moderate amount of heme iron. For this reason, liver should be considered as a first line supplement option to manage iron status. It's important to know that adding more dietary iron to the equation doesn't always work... if that's not the root cause of the issue. LIVER​ ​PLUS​ ​SPLEEN  Sometimes inadequate dietary iron IS the root cause of the issue, in which case, our Spleen product should be considered due to the high heme iron content (up to 5Xs more than liver) either in combination with the Liver (or) as a stand alone product. Also, don't forget about the science in "like supports like" (from the radioisotope labeling studies)... remember that our own spleen plays a vital role in blood building as it recycles red blood cells, iron, platelets and it maintains a reserve of red blood cells — releasing red blood cells when needed. If weak spleen health is at play, then consuming spleen to nourish and support one's own spleen will provide a totally different mechanism to possibly address the root cause. For this reason, Liver plus Spleen should be considered as a second line supplement option to provide the cofactors that support endogenous iron production and blood building... to provide a more significant and meaningful amount of dietary heme iron... and to support one's own spleen. THYROID​ ​(WITH​ ​LIVER)  Unfortunately, there will remain a few non-responders if the root cause is a struggling thyroid which is often the case. A struggling thyroid creates a cascade of struggling metabolic processes including struggling digestion and inadequate nutrient assimilation. If a struggling thyroid is the root of the issue, natural desiccated thyroid support may be considered when FREE T3 levels are not in the functional medicine range (i.e. 3.0 – 4.0 pg/mL). Our Thyroid product provides 30mg of natural whole thyroid glandular with 470mg of Liver per capsule for those seeking targeted support in harmony with nature — the old fashioned way, the way that our early ancestors did. SUMMARY  There's a very good chance that one's iron status will improve with our stand alone Liver product... if it does not, consider adding in the Spleen product which supplies up to 500% more heme iron per 6 capsule serving and further supports our own spleen function to build blood. Lastly, if iron status remains unimproved, one's thyroid status should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare practitioner. If indeed a struggling thyroid is at play, consider a natural desiccated thyroid product like this​ ​one​ here as an option to naturally balance, nourish and support thyroid health. IF ONE HAD THEIR SPLEEN REMOVED, HOW WOULD SPLEEN GLANDULAR WORK? If one had their thyroid removed, not only would Thyroid glandular still work, it would be necessary for life because each and every cell requires thyroid hormone (T3) for energy metabolism and mitochondrial signaling. Same goes for the pancreas... if one had their pancreas removed, pancreas glandular (and pancreas producing enzymes and peptides such as insulin) would be necessary to sustain life. As it relates to having the spleen removed, our biology still expects spleen producing peptides such as tuftsin, splenopentin and splenin which further support and modulate the immune system (by stimulating macrophages and enhancing natural killer (NK) cell activity). The thymus gland is no different, our biology still expects thymus producing peptides such as thymosin, thymopoietin and serum thymic factor in order to heal and be healthy. The elegance of animal physiology is that glands secrete peptides and other chemical-like substances that exert downstream effects at the cellular level. If one has a certain organ / gland removed, the body still expects those peptides and other chemical-like substances at the cellular level. What's more is that many of our functional healthcare practitioner accounts use glandular therapy for this exact purpose... that is, to provide the otherwise absent glandular nourishment that our cells need and expect for strength, health and happiness.

Nature’s Iron // Beef Spleen is the richest natural food source of heme-iron (the type of iron which is most readily absorbed by the body). Iron is a really important micronutrient as it’s vital for oxygen transportation, the production of thyroid hormone and immunity. When iron levels are optimal, people tend to report increased energy and overall resilience, whereas when they’re low this is associated with fatigue, irritability, weakness and depression. When looking to support your bodies iron stores, it’s much more beneficial to get heme-iron from animal foods like spleen, as opposed to non-heme iron from plant foods as it’s much more absorbable (please see diagram in image gallery to the left for details). Also, when you get iron from natural food sources, as opposed to unnatural food sources (fortified foods) or synthetic iron supplements, this means the iron comes paired with other nutrients within the food that aid it’s role within the body. For example, spleen naturally contains copper, which prevents iron overload. That’s also why we decided to include Beef Liver in this blend as it’s not only also a great source of heme-iron but it’s one of the best sources of copper too, as well as being loaded with a whole host of other beneficial micronutrients. All our organs are sourced from regenerative farms where the cattle are grass-fed and free to roam outdoors. We gently freeze dry the organs raw to maintain as many of the fragile nutrients and enzymes within them. Each jar contains 180, 500mg capsules (30 day supply).  Grass-Fed Beef Spleen | Nature's Iron Iron plays a crucial role within the body by producing haemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. When the body is low on haemoglobin, the movement of oxygen throughout the body is impaired and people tend to experience fatigue, irritability, breathlessness, aches and pains, weakness, depression or general tiredness. In extreme cases this is diagnosed as anaemia. This can be counteracted by increasing iron stores, which when optimal, result in people feeling energetic, emotionally balanced, strong and having a general sense of wellbeing. Iron is also required to make thyroid hormone so not getting enough can lead to hypothyroidism (underachieve thyroid), which is also associated with fatigue, weakness and depression as well as hair loss and weight gain. Due to this, there are lots of synthetic iron supplements on the market. However, many of these come in forms that are really poorly absorbed by the body or due to not containing copper, can cause iron overload (more on this below). On the other hand, getting iron from whole food sources is a much safer, gentler and more effective (if you choose the right foods) way to sustainably support iron levels. When it comes to effectively increasing iron within the body, it’s much better to get heme-iron from animal foods as opposed to non-heme iron from plant foods as the absorption rate is 15-40% as opposed to 2-13%. Please see the image gallery above for an example. That’s why we created this product ’Nature’s Iron’, containing two of the best food sources of heme-iron; grass-fed beef spleen (70%) and liver (30%). Beef Spleen is the best natural food source of iron with 100 grams containing 44.6mg’s (285% of the daily value [DV]). Beef Liver contains 4.9mg’s (27% of the DV) per 100g’s and although this is a lot lower than spleen, it’s still one of the top food sources available. These ancestral superfoods also naturally contain a wide array of other powerful nutrients such as folate, B12 (essential for optimal energy levels), vitamin A, zinc, copper, choline, phosphorus, niacin, and even vitamin C, which we know helps support iron absorption even further. Of all these nutrients, copper in-particular plays a very aligned role with iron in the body. Copper is required to liberate iron from liver stores to enable it to create red blood cells. On the other hand, if we don’t have enough copper, this can lead to iron overload in the liver, which causes inflammation. However, as nature knows best, beef spleen is also high in copper, with 100 grams containing 0.17mg (19% of the DV). This is also one of the reasons we included beef liver in this blend, as it’s an amazing natural food sources of copper with 100 grams containing 9.76mg (1084% of the DV). Iron also plays an important role in the immune system, as it’s used to fight harmful bacteria, so when iron stores are low, chances of infection and illness increase. How to use Consume 1-6 capsules per day (500-3000mg). See our infographic above to work out the best serving size for you.  When to use Take 1-6 capsules per day, ideally in the morning to flood your body with micronutrients for the day ahead. Each jar contains 180 capsules and each capsule is 500mg.  Ingredients: Grass-Fed Beef Spleen (70%), Grass-Fed Beef Liver (30%), Bovine Gelatine (Capsule).  *All our organs are sourced from regenerative farms where the cattle are grass-fed and free to roam on grassland.

Astragalus is one of the great tonic herbs as it strongly tonifies the vital Qi of the body as well as generates blood and fluids. It is a first class herb for maintaining a healthy immune system. This is a premium energy tonic for athletes and anyone looking for more day to day energy and vitality. Astragalus is categorized as an Energy (Qi) tonifying herb. It thus directly supports the Lung and Spleen organs in the body. By supporting those organs, energy derived from the foods you eat and the air you breathe is increased. As an immune system tonic, Astragalus tonifies what the Chinese call "wei qi" or "protective qi" which is the energy that runs just below the surface of the skin.  It helps the body to fight off external pathogens that you may come in contact with. Astragalus also houses what is call "upright qi" which is the energy in the body that supports upright posture and the correct position of the organs. Weak "upright qi" can lead to organ prolapse, slumping or slouching, and general feelings of fatigue.

American Ginseng root is a powerful Yin tonic as well as a Qi tonic. It is a true Ginseng, even though it is grown in North America. However, unlike its Asian cousins, it is actually cooling in nature rather than being warm or hot. It replenishes Yin Essence, builds fluids, and enhances Lung Qi. It is an adaptogenic herb suited for those that are under stress and show signs of heat, as it will cool and vitalize at the same time. It is also perfectly suited for woman after child birth and during menopause.

Cordyceps is an edible mushroom that when consumed has been shown to have a host of health and performance benefits. Studies have demonstrated its ability to promote oxygen uptake, energy and endurance as well as support immunity focus and blood sugar regulation. This is a 10:1 concentrated extract, which means we use 10g of raw Cordyceps to make 1g of powder. All our mushroom powder extracts are naturally wild-crafted on lugs, dual extracted and concentrated for maximum levels of beneficial compounds with no heavy metals or toxins.  NATURALLY WILD-CRAFTED ON LOGS Grown as they should be; in nature with fresh air and sunlight 25.6% BETA-GLUCANS We have our finished products batch tested to ensure they contain no heavy metals or toxins and have high levels of immune-enhancing beta-glucans DUAL-EXTRACTED We carefully source and extract our Cordyceps to ensure high levels of the beneficial compounds within these mushrooms are maintained 10:1 CONCENTRATED EXTRACT Each gram of our Cordyceps mushroom powder is made with 10 grams of naturally wild-crafted Cordyceps mushroom for potency ABOUT THE PRODUCT Organic Cordyceps Our Cordyceps are made from 100% fruiting bodies, certified organic and wild-crafted with natural lighting and fresh air. We then use a dual-extraction and vacuum drying process to turn the mushrooms into an 10:1 concentrated extract powder.  On completion of this process, we have our finished product lab analysed to demonstrate how our method maintains a really high level of the beneficial beta-glucans present in these mushrooms. Our latest batch contains 25.6%.  Our Cordyceps are packaged in Miron Glass jars to provide complete protection from UV rays which can degrade the quality of the product.  This product DOES NOT contain mycelium, starch, pesticides, toxins or fillers of any kind. It's also wild-crafted and therefore not lab-grown with the use of rice or oats.  HOW TO USE Take 1-2 grams per day, mixed into food or drinks. WHEN TO USE Can be taken at any point throughout the day. Personally we like to add a gram to our morning coffee and then another to our pre-workout drinks.  FAQS DO YOU LAB TEST YOUR FINISHED PRODUCTS? Of course - every batch is tested for heavy metals and beta-glucan percentage. Beta-glucans are the compounds within Cordyceps, which give it its immune enhancing properties. HOW LONG WILL MY TUB LAST? This all depends on dosage. However, if you take 1-2 grams per day, the tub will last 20-40 days.

Superior quality Cordyceps sinensis mycelium powder in capsules Potent source of cordycepin, the main active constituent of Cordyceps Supports energy production Supports sexual functions in men and women Supports the immune system World class Qi and Jing tonic Excellent for athletes, mountain climbers and all driven individuals Product Description Cordyceps mushroom is one of the stars of the Chinese tonic herbal system. Cultured Cordyceps is used to strengthen the body and mind at a fundamental level. Cultured Cordyceps is considered to be a Jing tonic of elite stature. Because it contains both Yin and Yang it can be used by anyone safely and over a long period of time. It is renowned as a life-reinforcing tonic and is said to build sexual and physical power, mental energy and to support the immune system of normal, healthy individuals. Cultured Cordyceps has no steroidal constituents but greatly supports performance and muscle maintaining and building capability of normal, healthy individuals. Cultured Cordyceps can help support the body’s healthy immune functions.* This cultured Cordyceps mycelium was tested for its constituents and has been compared to the component profile of wild Cordyceps, which is much more expensive and rare. The cultured Cordyceps has a component profile that is very favorable, even when compared to wild Cordyceps. Therefore, “cultured” Cordyceps is highly valued and widely used in tonic herbalism. Not all cultured Cordyceps is the same. Many manufacturers produce cultured Cordyceps, but the resulting product can vary widely in terms of constituents and balance, based on a large number of variables, including variety of fungus used and the substrate (food material) used to produce the culture. Dragon Herbs has studied the matter deeply for over twenty years and has identified the highest quality, vegan cultured Cordyceps.* Ingredients: Cordyceps mycelium Traditional Function Nourishes Jing (both Yin and Yang), strengthens the Kidneys and Lungs and tonifies Qi.

Cordyceps is one of the great herbs of Chinese herbalism. It is a balanced tonic herb  that strengthens the Kidneys, tonifies Yang, nourishes Lung Yin, and strengthens Lung capacity. It also promotes healthy immune function, is considered a longevity tonic, and has an adaptogenic effect on the body. As a Kidney Essence or "Jing" tonic, Cordyceps vitalizes the Yang energy in the body which is responsible for physical energy, sexual energy, mental and creative energy, and structural integrity of the skeletal system. As an athletic tonic, it vitalizes physical energy, increases lung function and endurance, and helps to build muscle.   Cordyceps is also widely regarded as a supreme immune system enhancer. It has the ability to help the body resist bacteria, viruses, and other external pathogens. It supports Lung qi and increases Lung power for those who may have compromised Lung function. Cordyceps is also considered an adaptogenic substance that helps to prevent aging and supports  longevity and youthfulness. It is a rejuvenation tonic that is often used by those who are recovering from illness, extended periods of stress, and general feelings of fatigue.

The very name of Schizandra in Chinese, Wu Wei Zi, tells us a great deal about the qualities of this herb. Wu Wei Zi means Fruit of Five Flavors.” Due to the fact that Schizandra possesses all five of the classical “tastes” (sour, bitter, sweet, spicy and salty) and thus possesses the essence of all five of the elementtal energies (wood, fire, earth, metal and water), Schizandra is respected as a health-providing tonic in the same class with Ginseng and Reishi Mushroom. According to Chinese herbalism, all foods and herbs have one or several of the 5 flavors: sweet, sour, spicy (pungent), salty and bitter. Different flavors enter different organs. Sourness enters the Liver, bitterness enters the Heart, sweetness enters the Spleen, spiciness enters the Lungs and saltiness enters the Kidneys. Generally, the five flavors also have different functions on the human body.   As to the Yin/Yang nature of the 5 flavors, sweetness and spiciness are yang while sourness, saltiness and bitterness are yin. It is therefore very important that in our daily diet, we consume all five flavors in a balanced fashion. One should not skip any flavor. Otherwise, imbalances will arise and certain organs may not be nourished properly.All herbs contain at least one of the five flavors. Remarkably, Schizandra fruit contains all five flavors. Schizandra has been used since the dawn of Chinese civilization as a tonic herb. From the beginning it has been revered, and remains one of the elite herbs of the Chinese system of herbalism. It was first written about in Shen Nong’s Pharmacopoeia (between first and second century A.D.) where it was listed as a Superior herb. The Taoists especially revered Schizandra. Schizandra was my teacher’s, Sung Jin Park’s, favorite herb. This is because Schizandra tonifies all 3 treasures, enters all 12 meridians and nurtures all 5 elements. Master Park considered it to be the quintessential herbal substance. Though Schizandra is believed to benefit all the functions of the body, it has traditionally been considered to have the most influence on the Kidney, Lung and Liver functions.  A Famous Beauty Herb Schizandra is widely used to beautify the skin and to protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun and wind. Due to the astringent quality of Schizandra, the skin tends to hold its moisture and becomes full and beautiful. It has always been very popular with the wealthy men and women of China, especially the women of the imperial court, because of its youth preserving and rejuvenating effects. It is said that those who use Schizandra consistently will remain youthful in both appearance and physiology. I have seen the benefits of this herb with my own eyes hundreds of times in my life. People who start taking Schizandra regularly all change for the better. Their skin virtually glows and becomes clear and fine after several months. An Excellent Mind Tonic With Double-Direction Regulation on The Central Nervous System This herb is considered to be one of the premium mind tonics of herbalism. It is used to sharpen concentration, improve memory and increase alertness. Yet, unlike caffeine-like stimulants, Schizandra does not produce nervousness. In fact, some people consider Schizandra mildly “calming” while producing wakefulness and improved focus.The ability of the dried fruit to increase mental and physical activity in humans was reported in numerous studies conducted in the 1950s. It has been demonstrated that human intellectual activity can be enhanced and work efficiency increased by consuming Schizandra. Various tests have shown that moderate therapeutic doses of Schizandra can improve various activities requiring concentration, fine coordination, sensitivity and endurance. The tests in humans confirming Schizandra’s efficacy in these areas range from threading needles to running marathons. Schizandra has been demonstrated in laboratory animals and in humans to have a stimulant action on the central nervous system. The herb works directly on the nervous tissue. Conversely and paradoxically, schizandra also promotes sound sleep when combined with yin herbs or sedative (“Shen stabilizing”) herbs. Schizandra does not make people sleepy, but when it is time to sleep its action on the brain results in deeper, more satisfying sleep. Many studies now indicate that Schizandra actually has a powerful balancing, or regulating, action on the central nervous system. It can result in accurate and optimal balancing between the excitatory and inhibitory control functions of the cerebral cortex.  Schizandra, The Perfect Liver Herb Detoxifying, healing, regenerative and protective Schizandra stands along with Reishi as the primary liver cleansing agents used in tonic programs. Schizandra does not have the side effects that are associated with many of the “medicinal,” or “inferior” liver cleansing herbs. Schizandra, especially alcohol extracts, are widely believed to protect the liver from damage due to poisons, as well as the by-products of living.  Phase I and Phase II of detoxification Schizandra has been shown to strengthen and protect the liver. It does this by detoxifying and rejuvenating this critical organ. There are two critical stages to the process of liver detoxification, known as Phase I and Phase II. In Phase I, a detoxifying agent goes into the liver and binds with toxins, releasing them from the liver and taking them into the bloodstream. Almost always, this newly bound toxic bundle is more toxic than the original toxin. This increased toxicity is known as bioactivation. It is obvious that this process can be dangerous. It’s similar to the removal of asbestos from an old house. It needs to be safely removed from the walls and from the building without exposing anyone to it again. Re-exposure to old toxins in their new bioactivated form can make you sick – and much of this material will end up back in the liver again, or stored in other tissues.  During phase II of detoxification, the bioactivated toxins, which may be highly active, are safely cleared out of the body. This, of course, is the part we all want to happen in quick and efficient order. If the phase II process is weak, faulty or absent, all we’ve done is re-poison ourselves.Many substances can go into the liver and release old toxins into the bloodstream, but that is all they do, and as a result the person goes through an increased toxic period. The so-called cleansing crisis experienced by many people who go through various types of cleanses, is largely the result of bioactivated toxins wreaking havoc in the body. It is therefore very important that agents which boost phase I activity also have significant effects on enhancing the phase II clearance of the reactive intermediate.Schizandra appears to be very effective in boosting both Phase I detoxification and Phase II clearance of activated toxins.Schizandra can reduce elevated SGPT (Serum Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase) in patients with chronic hepatitis. SGPT is an enzyme concentrated in the liver. It is a reliable marker of liver inflammation, often tested by doctors to evaluate liver damage. In a clinical study conducted in China, more than 5000 people suffering from various types of hepatitis were given Schizandra and the results were very good. The aggregate effective rate was 84-97.9%. SGPT was normalized in about 75% of the cases.  A Powerful Sex Tonic Schizandra is said to increase the Water Qi in the Kidney. In particular, it is said to vastly increase the “water of the genital organs,” referring to the sexual fluids. Schizandra is said to promote the production of semen. It is famous for its ability to relieve sexual fatigue and for increasing the sexual staying-power in men. It is thus an ingredient in the vast majority of men’s sexual tonics in Asian herbalism.Women benefit from the same capacity to increase Water Qi of the Kidney. Schizandra is said to increase circulation and sensitivity in the female genitals. Many women claim increased genital warmth and sensation after using Schizandra for a period of time. The Chinese sexual classics claim that continuous use by a woman will increase the amount of “female elixir,” a euphemism for vaginal secretions, during intercourse. On the other hand, Schizandra is used clinically to help counteract excessive vaginal discharge. For both men and women, Schizandra is considered to have “aphrodisiac” qualities, especially when combined with other Kidney tonifying herbs like Lycium, Cistanche, deer antler, Epimedium, etc. Furthermore, Schizandra is one of the most important astringent herbs used in Chinese herbalism. An astringent herb conserves fluids, and in the case of Schizandra, it tends to contain sexual fluids until the appropriate time of release. Thus, consuming Schizandra for a period of time, one tends to build up sexual fluids. Schizandra is used in sexual formulations to prevent premature ejaculation and to help promote incredible endurance.

Its primary uses have been focused around beauty and sex, pictured in ancient art as a symbol of longevity and immortality. Benefits! Exalted as one of the most powerful “youth tonics” of all time, Schizandra has held true to its reputation, rejuvenating skin, helping to maintain its moisture while also protecting it from environmental and external stress.

Schizandra enhances sex drive in both men and women, for men improving sexual function and endurance, and in woman, increasing water qi from the kidney (and other areas) while counter-acting vaginal discharge. As Schizandra also has been said to be a powerful aphrodisiac, this herb can be very complimentary to intimate relationships. Inside and Out Beyond the surface, Schizandra can be used to aid and balance internal fuctions. It strengthens your respiratory system and purifies your blood, as it increases circulation. Schizandra opens up the airways, allowing all this purified blood and oxygen travel throughout each of your organs. Naturally, this increased oxygen flow runs straight into your brain, making Schizandra an extremely effective mind tonic, increasing alertness without a stimulant effect- a wakeful focus. While also known to have a calming effect, you are able to experience best of both worlds. Also a tenacious anti-oxidant, schizandra’s cleansing and liver-tonifying properties rank with Reishi. In addition, schizandra can be used to balance your nervous system, refine coordination, improve memory, enhance vision, increase sensitivity and strengthen endurance. Schizandra and Mind Power Schizandra is one of the major herbs almost always used in Chinese mind tonic formulations. It has traditionally been used to treat mental and emotional illness, improve mental clarity, concentration, and coordination, reduce forgetfulness, irritability, nervous exhaustion, stress, depression, and anxiety.   Phase 1 and 2 Liver Detoxification For a substance to effectively cleanse the liver, two phases must be initiated and completed for the body to completely rid itself of any toxin or undesirable elements. Phase 1 – A substance goes into the body and binds with a toxin, releasing the toxin from the liver into the blood stream. This poses a problem however, because the toxin that is released is almost always more toxic as it is bio-activated and has the ability to reabsorb into the body. It is like tearing down a wall in your house to remove toxic mold and leaving the debris on the floor. If you don’t remove it from your house you will keep being exposed to the mold and reabsorbing it. Re-exposure to old toxins in their new bio-activated form can make you sick. Much of this material will end up back in the liver again, or stored in other tissues. Phase 2 - Which is often times missed in cleansing protocols, is where the bio-activated toxin is safely removed from the body. If phase 2 is absent, then all we are really doing is poisoning ourselves. There are many substances that go into the liver that release bio-activated toxins. What people often term as a “healing crisis” is often these bio-activated toxins being released and doing damage in the body. Schizandra has been demonstrated to be effective in activating all of ones phase 1 and phase 2 liver detoxification enzymes safely and efficiently. You can take schizandra on a daily basis and never throw yourself into a healing crisis, yet, you will gently cleanse your liver. This is a great way for us to detox our liver from the thousands of chemicals present in the environment we are exposed to on a daily basis and receive a whole host of other benefits at the same time. Never Heated!! No Chemicals Used in Extraction or the Growing Process!!
