Suma Root 125 gr from Salud Viva acts on the restoration of nervous and glandular functions and the balance of the endocrine system (hormones). It also serves to minimize the effect of hormonal contraceptives, to treat cases of high levels of fat in the blood and to neutralize toxins. No magnesium stearate, no silicon dioxide... Just the ingredients listed. At the muscular level, Suma acts as a steroid without side effects. A few years ago it became known that Russian athletes had been including it in their diets for many years, due to its ability to increase muscle mass and resistance without the side effects commonly associated with anabolic steroids. This effect is attributed to a phytochemical called beta-ecdysterone and three new ecdysteroid glycosides found in the suma root. In addition to beta-ecdysterone and ecdysteroid glycosides, responsible for, among other things, the beneficial effects on the immune system, the root of the plant contains: Six different pphaffic acids Sitosterol and stigmasterol (phytoestrogens) A large number of electrolytes and trace elements, including germanium, iron, magnesium, cobalt, silicon and zinc Pantothenic acid Up to 11% saponins (nortriterpene glycosides) Vitamins A, B-1, B-2, E, K 19 different amino acids This quantity of active ingredients explains the variety of its applications. To give just a few examples, its uses in combating skin conditions are explained by the presence of ecdysteroid chemicals. From a nutritional point of view, its high germanium content is probably the reason for its effectiveness against anemia. Its high saponin content explains its broad spectrum of activity in terms of reducing blood fat levels. In addition, six pfaffic acids have been isolated from saponins that have the ability to inhibit melanomas and help regulate sugar levels. 5 gr per day diluted in any liquid, water, juices, vegetable milk...
