NP Nutra, a leading wholesale manufacturer of dietary supplement and Functional Foods ingredients, has announced the launch of a brand new product, XandraPure™. Derived from the highest grade certified organic Schisandra berries, XandraPure™ is a premium grade 5:1 extract suitable for the production of nutritional supplements and functional foods and drinks with applications in oral hygiene and skin and hair care.
Tiny, bright red Schisandra berries have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine for helping the body in a wide variety of ways. Schisandra is an adaptogen, which means it supports the body's own natural functions to help it resist internal and external stressors. Among other things, it can support a healthy liver and aid both mental and physical performance.
Potent, highly concentrated XandraPure™ has exceptional application in supplements, and is highly suitable for use in capsules, tablets and powdered formulas. XandraPure™ is particularly popular in energy, stamina, stress and work-life balance formulas.
100% water solubility makes XandraPure™ an ideal boost to juices and functional drink formulas. Because of its balancing, adaptogenic properties, XandraPure™ has special application both for energy and calming drink formulas, a growing, on-trend category. XandraPure™’s earthy, faintly bitter taste also make it a popular addition to medicinal wines and tonics. XandraPure™ makes a wonderful addition to boutique tea brews, in fact, Schisandra berries are traditionally consumed brewed into a beautiful pinkish red tea.
Native to East Asia, Schisandra is an attractive flowering vine with delectably fragrant ivory colored spring flowers, and numerous clusters of potently flavorful, medicinal fruit in the fall. Schisandra has been long treasured in traditional Chinese pharmacopeia as “five Flavour fruit”, because it contains all five essential flavors in Chinese herbal medicine: salty, sweet, sour, pungent, and bitter. These berries are one of the 50 fundamental herbs in Chinese medicine. Since the 1960s, Schisandra has been extensively studied by scientists in the former Soviet Union and is now an established inclusion in that country’s medical system.
