Schizandra, A weapon for aging



You can actually eat schizandra berries, according to WebMD, but they're also beneficial in supplement form dried and steeped into a tea.

Schizandra is most well-known for its anti-aging properties. Dr. Oz called it a "miracle pill" and a "youth-enhancer" on an episode of his show, thanks to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help the body shed toxins. It's an adaptogen, meaning it lowers levels of the stress hormones in the blood.

Schizandra has been linked in preliminary studies to treating hepatitis C.
It can also boost liver function and the immune system,  as well as ease anxiety.
