( nhance thefree radical scavenging capa...)Investigation Findings, Corroborated by Empirical Evidence of the,Schisandra Berry as Cardio-Tonic in Traditional Chinese Medicine,for Hundreds of Years, Support the Use of Schisandrin B in the,Prevention and Treatment of IHD,Health

The finding, which is corroborated by empirical evidence of the Schisandra berry as cardio-tonic in Traditional Chinese Medicine for hundreds of years, supports the use of Schisandrin B in the prevention and treatment of IHD.

Since the publication of this finding, Dr. Ko has identified an isomer of Schisandrin B, (-) Schisandrin B, a novel discovery, which possesses a more potent pharmacological profile than that of Schisandrin B. Patented use of this newly discovered compound, (-) Schisandrin B, for the prevention and treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease has been applied for with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
