I have this every opening in a cup of water. The taste is mild and a little sweet. I think it is helping me. I may have to use it longer but no complaints about it.This is my second favorite herbal pharmacy and brand behind Dr Schultze. I have used many different products / herbs from this brand and all have been extremely high quality, taste appropriate (how it’s suppose to taste) and easy to read and understand instructions. This brand uses high potent ingredients to the highest standards like Dr Schultze. I trust this brand for myself and family. I will continue to buy!I do believe I benefited from this. It is however, quite small for the price and you will run out quickly. I enjoyed the product and will most likely buy again sometime down the road. Schisandra makes me feel alert, concentrated, full of energy, and creative. I have tried a large handful of schisandra products ranging from powders, teas, raw berries, and tinctures. After gauging the quality of a handful of different schisandra products I can say that this was a good investment and was good quality. If you want to have healthier skin, greater mental functioning, more confidence, and a hightened libido, try schisandra. It is also one of the only herbs that contains all 5 flavors in traditional Chinese medicine and the only herb that will tonify and bring balance to the 3 treasures of healing in traditional chinese medicine. The three treasures are the Jing, The Qi, and the Shen. Research this and you will understand why schisandra is a favorite among st many healers.My chiropractor recommended me this brand and I really like Herb Pharm unfortunately this product didn’t work for me. It turns out schisandra Berry is drying and I have dry constitution already so when I took 20 drops the first day, I was super thirsty for the whole day. Like really really thirsty. So even though schisandra didn’t work for me, I’m sure it will work great for people who have moist constitution. Just know, if you get thirsty easily, this is not for you.Great quality extract. I use it twice a day to relax and it helps me feel good and sleep better. Schizandra berry has so many applications, for example you can use it as a digestive bitter if you consume a dropper 10-15 minutes before a meal. I personally like taking a dropper after my workout and another dropper a couple hours before bed. Please note that this product is not less effective due to the 1:3 menstruum ratio. I've taken all of the various powders and whole berry products on the market and find the Herb Pharm liquid alcohol drops to be the most potent and cost effective "gold standard". This may be due to the fact the berries used to make Herb Pharm's extract are sorted and graded "1st quality" and the competitors are most likely made from lower grade or unsorted bulk material.Seems to be helpful for giving me more energy and focus. I put it into water. The taste is a little bitter and astringent -but it's a medicinal berry so I put up with it. I've only been using it about a week or so. But it seems pretty good so far. It feels like a balancing herb that helps with focus. I've had no negative side effects or reactions that I know of from it.This is a great tincture for sleep support. I add a dropperful to 1 tsp of TerraSoul's Ashwaghanda root powder and mix in water. This extract has a sweet tart taste which balances the bitter taste (I like bitter things) of TerraSoul's product.HerbPharm is a superior product. I have also used their LemonBalm Blend (which is super calming and tastes great) and their Kava (which I found to be very powerful in support during stressful events. I actually liked this tincture so much that I purchased a second tincture from the seller.I've been using this Schisandra Berry by Herb Pharm for several months now for the natural benefits of lowering inflammation, supports healthy adrenal function, cleansing of the liver, and promoting an acidic base. It also is a great natural immune booster. I've noticed that I am producing much less gastic acid since beginning use of Schisandra and thus, I rarely have any reflux symptoms. I add it to a small amount of water and drink it at bedtime which helps me to have more restful sleep.
