This is a 4:1 water/alcohol extract of wildcrafted Suma Root. After extracting, it is spray dried, and maltodextrin is added as a flow agent. Suma root is a ground vine that grows in South America (mostly Peru, Venezuela, Brazil, and Ecuador) and has been used to promote health for centuries.
Traditionally it has most often been used to regulate hormone and energy levels. It is commonly used by athletes for this reason because when hormone levels are balanced, the body is able to repair itself more quickly.
Suma root powder has a bitter, mildly vanilla-like flavor and can be easily mixed into juices and smoothies, desserts, baked goods, dressings, etc.
