Suma, often referred to as Brazilian ginseng, is a powerful root native to South America and long valued by Amazonian tribes, who dubbed it "para todo"—meaning "for everything." For over three centuries, it's been used for a wide range of purposes, from boosting libido and soothing the nerves to acting as a general tonic and supporting digestive health.
Though it’s not botanically related to panax ginseng, it earned the nickname “Brazilian ginseng” because of its adaptogenic properties. Adaptogens are a unique class of herbs known for helping the body handle various physical, mental, and environmental stressors—everything from illness and exhaustion to emotional strain—while supporting stamina, mental clarity, and resilience.
Suma is believed to enhance immune function and support recovery from long-term health issues, including conditions like cancer and diabetes. It’s also a natural energy booster that invigorates the body without putting pressure on the adrenal system.
