Schisandra - SuperFeast

Cherished as ‘The Beauty Berry’, Schisandra chinensis (五味子, wǔ wèi zǐ) cleanses and balances from within, cultivating outer radiance and youthfulness.

Radiance | Vitality | Detoxification

In Taoist herbalism, Schisandra chinensis is cherished as the ‘beauty berry’ for its ability to promote a luminous complexion, support healthy liver function, and restore youthful vitality. Prized by ancient royalty as the “quintessence of radiance”, it is one of the most revered longevity tonics in traditional Chinese medicine.

This adaptogenic berry is traditionally used to tonify Kidney Yin, support sexual and mental vitality, relieve fatigue, and promote resilience and stress support.

Schisandra is also dubbed ‘the five taste fruit’, for its rare ability to influence all five organ systems (Liver, Kidney, Heart, Lung & Spleen) through its five taste profiles (salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and pungent). Such comprehensiveness is said to allow this potent holistic tonic herb to regulate the entire system. 

Modern beauty professionals harness Schisandra’s ancient reputation to preserve youthfulness, particularly in clearing, detoxifying, and revitalising the skin. Similarly, health and wellness practitioners utilise Schisandra to aid in healthy liver function and natural detoxification. 

Many of these benefits are delivered via naturally occurring compounds called lignans (including schisandrin A, B, and C, and Schisandrol A and B). 

Taoist tonic herbalists prescribe ‘100 Days of Schisandra’ as a challenge to cultivate inner and outer radiance just as the ancients did - purifying the blood, sharpening the mind, beautifying the skin, and more.

In other words, creating a daily Schisandra ritual in order to change for the better.

About the Company

In 2011, Mason Taylor’s passion for health and his desire to access the world's best supplements, herbs and medicinal mushrooms led to the creation of SuperFeast.

From humble beginnings in his mum’s garage, SuperFeast has grown into Australia’s leading supplier of Dì Dào (地道) tonic herbs and mushrooms.

Mason founded the business in the family home in suburban Gladesville, Sydney. In those days, the dream to become a mushroom and tonic herb company was so huge that it seemed impossible. Drawing inspiration from the herbalists that Mason adored, alongside his experience with longevity-enhancing supplements, SuperFeast began offering a range of obscure health products.

Six months into the birth of SuperFeast, Mason’s mother Janesse suffered a debilitating stroke. The months following involved emergency care, rehabilitation and the slow adjustment to a new way of life.

SuperFeast would never have existed without Janesse.

To this day we ensure that the charitable spirit and love for life that Janesse has is always preserved in SuperFeast’s business operations and message. Janesse remains an ongoing inspiration to all of us at SuperFeast - she is still recovering but maintains a zest for life and a great sense of humour, and is a daily consumer of SuperFeast’s offerings.

After his mum’s aneurysm, Mason made a conscious decision to become thoroughly dedicated to SuperFeast and its mission to prevent as much degeneration and illness as humanly possible while promoting flourishing health. It was with this new energy that the tonic herbs and mushrooms were included in the SuperFeast range.

To this day SuperFeast is 100% family owned and we pride ourselves on being a family business. This allows us to move forward with the same grassroots values that were presented on day one.
