What people say about Schisandra and mood
“Of all the dopaminergic supplements I’ve tried this one seems the most radical in alleviating depression and making me feel like my old self again.”
“It completely wrecked my sleep when taken before bed ... Just a tremendous amount of focus and well-being that hits around the 1-hour mark and lasts most of the day at 500mg.”
“I have been feeling what appears to be a large range of effects from schisandra that is simply relaxing, smooth, not anxious”
“I personally really love the effects of our Schisandra extracts, it has a very pleasant calming and mood boosting effect.”
