Schizandra Berry Challenge
100 Transformative Days!
Taking a tonic herb everyday is just like exercising. We “tone” our immune systems, our stress response and our body’s general operating systems so they are more effective in assisting the body’s own intelligence for generating radiant health.
Schizandra berries may seem like the new “it” thing but they are grounded in ancient wisdom and lore. Schizandra was historically consumed by the royal family in China and the Taoist “immoralists” who live high in the mountain regions of china. It is said that after the 100 days, Schizandra gives you a gift.
“If used for 100 days successively, Schizandra is said to purify the blood, sharpen the mind, improve memory, rejuvenate the Kidney energy (especially the sexual functions in both men and women), and cause the skin to become radiantly beautiful” ~ Ron Teeguarden.
For these reasons and many more, Schizandra berries are considered one of the superior chinese tonic herbs and have supported the health of so many people for centuries.
Taking Schizandra berries continually cultivates beauty on a deep level; brightening the eyes, clearing and moistening the skin & generates an overall healthy glow.
