The Take
Schisandra is healthy. The sun-dried berry from Schisandra chinensis stands alone as a traditional adaptogen with documented use spanning centuries in Chinese medicine.
Slop Score: 11. It earns the low number through zero marketing spin and one actual ingredient.
The Verdict
Schisandra delivers exactly what its history promises: a functional berry without the modern cope. Powder versions still need third-party testing for contaminants.
Buy the whole dried berries and pair with raw milk for extra single-ingredient heft. Slop Score: 11.
