Suma Root
With a common name, Para Todo, meaning "for everything," it may be a hint of just how much support Suma Root may provide. Often called a South American version of ginseng, it has become a popular herbal support for our healthy immune system and defenses, as well as our naturally healthy muscles, energy and stamina levels, bright spirits and healthy libido in both men and women. The plant compounds provide valuable support for women, including normal healthy hormonal balance, mild mood swings, cramps, nerves and edema (excess fluid retention) associated with menopause, premenstrual and menstrual health. Suma is also used to support healthy serum cholesterol and blood pressure levels already within normal range and overall cardiac health. The herb is said to support healthy blood circulation throughout the body, including the brain, and cerebral health. Suma Root has also been used as a botanical support for healthy blood glucose levels already within normal range.

History:
Suma Root It is a large, rambling, shrubby ground vine with an intricate, deep and extensive root system and may be indigenous to the Amazon basin and other tropical parts of Brazil, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela. It was first discovered for its exceptional therapeutic qualities by the native Indian tribes of Brazil, who used the bark, berries, leaves and roots of the plant as an overall health support - para todo or para tudo, meaning "for everything." 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 everything," it has also long been used as an important herbal by the native population of Brazil for healthy skin, energy, nerves and libido support. In modern Brazilian herbal practices, Suma Root has recently gained great worldwide popularity as a support for healthy energy, stamina and muscles. Interestingly, Suma has also been called "the Russian Secret," as it has been taken by Russian Olympic athletes for muscle and endurance support. Suma Root is taken for healthy circulation and cerebral support, appetite and immune system health, to name only a few popular applications. Some of the constituents in Suma include saponins, (including pfaffic acid), as well as derivatives therefrom.
