      • Supports a calm mood

      • Supports sleep

ABOUT ZIZYPHUS JUJUBA

The Ziziphus jujuba is indigenous to many parts of South Asia.

 

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the fruits and seeds of this plant are used to relieve stress and calm the mind and spirit. Ziziphus spinosa, Semen Ziziphi spinosae, and Suanzaoren are some of the names of the seeds in research.

 

This is why the seeds are widely used in China and other parts of Asia to support sleep and relaxation.

 

Suanzaoren formula, named for Z.jujuba seeds, is one of the most popular herbal formulations in TCM for sleep and mood support. It contains five herbs and is called Suan Zao Ren Tang because Z.jujuba seeds have a prominent role in the recipe.

 

There are several active ingredients included in the combo, including flavonoids (including swertisin and spinosin), saponins (jujubosides), and polysaccharides. [2].

Its traditional calming and sleep-inducing properties seem to result primarily from saponins and flavonoids.*
