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.
Usage
2 - 4 capsules of Suma per day
before food or as directed by your health practitioner.
Contra indications
Suma may have oestrogen like
effects. Do not use with oestrogen-positive cancers.
