Is schisandra berry oil compliant for food, dietary supplement, and flavor use?
Yes. Schisandra (Wu Wei Zi) is a classic medicinal-food homologous (药食同源) material in China, and the oil produced from it carries a dedicated national standard (GB/T 43256-2025).
Food & Supplement Compliance

- Wu Wei Zi is one of the few herbs listed both in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the 药食同源 food catalogue
- The oil is mainly consumed as a botanical dietary-supplement ingredient (52% of output) rather than a flavoring agent
