Suma Root: Shakeology Spotlight

Suma also called Brazilian ginseng. One of the most controversial ingredients in Shakeology and I feel could use some explanation to show what good it does and how it can help you. It is used in the powder form in Shakeology.










Suma is said to support hormonal balance, reduce inflammation, inhibit cancer and leukemia cells, enhance immunity, increase libido, and a provide a number of normalizing and rejuvenating effects. One of the reason for its myriad effects may be its ability to increase oxygenation and energy efficiency at the cellular level. 



Also included in Suma Root are nineteen different amino acids, a large number of electrolytes, trace minerals, iron, magnesium, zinc, vitamins A, B1, B2, E, K and pantothenic acid, plus beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, allantoin, germanium, silica, glycosides, nortriterpenes and beta-ecdysterone.






Suma Root has recently gained great worldwide popularity as a treatment for exhaustion and lack of stamina. It is found in the ravines of the upper Amazon rainforest; and in addition to its traditional use as the herb that will be of help "for all ailments," it has also long been used as an important herbal remedy by the native population of Brazil for the treatment of wounds, skin problems, lack of energy, ulcers and as an aphrodisiac and relaxant. In modern Brazilian herbal medicine practices, Suma Root is employed as a cellular oxygenator and taken to stimulate appetite and circulation, enhance estrogen production, balance blood sugar levels, support the immune system, strengthen the muscular system, increase energy levels and improve memory. Some of the constituents in Suma include saponins, (including pfaffic acid), as well as derivatives therefrom that have been patented in Japan in anti-tumor drugs.
