One of the top herbs in the Daoist system, Schisandra is known for its ability to harmonize the flow of Qi through the five organ systems of the human body, regulate the entire system, nourish all organs, and thus protect all Three Treasures (Jing, Qi, and Shen). This nourishing, highly adaptive herb helps balance the nervous system, improve brain function, elevate immunity, and, through its effects on the overall harmony of the body, assist those who consume it in remaining youthful - both in appearance and physiology. It is said that Schisandra absorbs the Qi of the East, of the rising sun, and delivers this renewing and revitalizing energy through the meridian systems. In folk herbalism, it is said that if taken for 100 days consecutively, Schisandra purifies the Blood, brings sharpness to the mind, optimizes memory, rejuvenates and astringes Kidney Essence (Jing), and supports reproductive function in both men and women. Also known as a "beauty berry" of the Orient, Schisandra was used by ancient Chinese royalty to preserve youthfulness, enhance physical radiance, boost desire, and as a potent reproductive tonic. For our intention to age with grace, with a twinkle in the eye and our unique beauty radiating from within, we can't think of a herb that has our backs (and organs) more than Schisandra does.

In 2011, Mason Taylor’s passion for health and his desire to access the world's best supplements, herbs and medicinal mushrooms led to the creation of SuperFeast. Mason founded the business in the family home in suburban Gladesville, Sydney. In those days, the dream to become a mushroom and tonic herb company was so huge that it seemed impossible. Drawing inspiration from the herbalists that Mason adored, alongside his experience with longevity-enhancing supplements, SuperFeast began offering a range of obscure health products. Six months into the birth of SuperFeast, Mason’s mother Janesse suffered a debilitating stroke. The months following involved emergency care, rehabilitation and the slow adjustment to a new way of life. SuperFeast would never have existed without Janesse. After his mum’s aneurysm, Mason made a conscious decision to become thoroughly dedicated to SuperFeast and its mission to prevent as much degeneration and illness as humanly possible while promoting flourishing health. It was with this new energy that the tonic herbs and mushrooms were included in the SuperFeast range.
From humble beginnings in his mum’s garage, SuperFeast has grown into Australia’s leading supplier of Dì Dào (地道) tonic herbs and mushrooms. They believe there can be absolutely no compromise on quality when it comes to sourcing all of their herbs. They must reflect and be of the standard that allowed these herbs to rise to become the most revered in Taoist herbalism thousands of years ago. Sourcing herbs from their spiritual homeland is born from the Taoist philosophy Dì Dào (地道). Dì Dào (地道) poetically translates as the ‘way of the Earth’, and it shows us where to harvest herbs if we wish to experience the herb’s true Spirit. This method results in a medicinally robust and Qi-full end product sourced from its ‘original place’ or ‘spiritual homeland’. Dì Dào (地道) is the classification given to the highest quality herbs in China and describes the core sourcing philosophy they practice at SuperFeast. Since the essence of Taoism is rooted in the Classical Era texts of Chinese Medicine, so, too, is SuperFeast’s sourcing.
