- Reduces stress & fatigue
Suma is the common name of a large rainforest root also known as ‘Brazilian Ginseng.’ In Brazil it is also referred to as ‘Para toda’ – meaning ‘for everything.’ Like herbs such as Asian Ginseng and Rhodiola, Suma is classed as an ‘adaptogen’ by herbalists, meaning that it can exert a balancing effect on multiple body systems. It is often used to aid detoxification and to treat stress, fatigue and hormone disorders.
Suma root is also highly nutritious - and contains 19 amino acids, plus high levels of vitamins and minerals. It also has a high content of germanium which is thought to account for its properties as an oxygenator at the cellular level (which can increase energy).
The root is also a source of many other actives, including three important plant sterols - beta-ecdysterone, beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol, which are thought to have oestrogen-like properties and must account for its benefit to those suffering from hormone imbalance.
