Schisandra for Menopausal Symptoms

Jan 23

Written By Graig Alpert

Schisandra chinensis may help with menopausal symptoms — A 2016 study found that an extract of schisandra chinensis was significantly more effective than placebo at reducing menopausal symptoms over 6 weeks. Symptoms of menopause included hot flushes, sweating, and heart palpitations. Schisandra may cause gastrointestinal or other side effects. Schisandra is not recommended during pregnancy as it may stimulate uterine contractions.
