-Cardioprotective: Tones the heart. In traditional Chinese medicine, Shisandra is considered to tonify Qi. In studies carried out it has been shown that it generates fluid and stimulates circulation.
-Neuroprotective: They contain a variety of bioactive metabolites that are neuroprotective. The lignins contained in Shisandra have potential in the treatment of numerous neurodegenerative diseases. Studies have reported that crude extracts and isolated pure lignan components effectively protect neuronal cell damage and significantly improve cognitive performance.

-Kidney protection: Tone the kidney. Schisandra B alleviates the epithelial-mesenchymal transition of renal tubular cells. Pudmed: "Schisandrin B Alleviates Renal Tubular Cell Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Mitochondrial Dysfunction by Kielin/Chordin-like Protein Upregulation via Akt Pathway Inactivation and Adenosine 5'-Monophosphate (AMP)-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway Activation in Diabetic Kidney Disease."
-Hepatoprotective: Contains lignans, an effective active ingredient that regulates the aberrant metabolism of phosphatidylethanolamines, which improves non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Increases the regulation of intrahepatic proinflammatory and fibrotic factors. Pudmed: "Schisandra lignans ameliorate nonalcoholic steatohepatitis by regulating aberrant metabolism of phosphatidylethanolamines."
-Antivirals: Contains Baill polysaccharide, an inhibitor of different viral strains, especially influenza A.
-Hypoglycemic: Prevents hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. In studies carried out with diabetic rats, it was demonstrated that schisandrin A and schisandrol A had a positive impact on the morphological structure of the islet cells of the pancreas. Once after 6 weeks of administration of Schisandra extract, it was revealed that the intestinal microbiota of diabetic rats was significantly altered, exhibiting greater abundance and diversity in the microbiota. In addition to a significant increase in acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid. Research with Shisandra extract demonstrated it could be effective in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and adjustment of altered metabolite levels and alteration of intestinal flora. Pudmed: "Petroleum ether extract of Schisandra sphenanthera prevents hyperglycemia and insulin resistance in association with modulation of sweet taste receptors and gut microbiota in T2DM rats."
-Antibacterial: Powerful activity against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
-In addition to other properties: Anti-inflammatory, osteoblastic and immune regulation.
