PRICE: $13.95 for each 60 capsule bottle (1/2 gram per capsule) Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs brings you a high quality Suma Extract. This is a potent extract which has been standardized to 2% Beta Ecdysterone. Click on this link: Suma Extract COA, to see the Certificate of Analysis on this particular batch. In South America, Suma (Pfaffia paniculata) is know as "para toda", which means "for all things." It has been used in Brazil for centuries as a tonic, an aphrodisiac, and as a remedy for diabetes, ulcers and cancer. It is an important herbal remedy in the folk medicine of several rainforest Indian tribes today. Due to its anabolic action (it's a great source of Beta Ecdysterone), Suma is now used for building muscle and for the treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. These vegetable-derived capsules (Vegan, Kosher and Halal certified) are filled by hand with a manual encapsulation machine, not with a high speed automatic machine, and thus, only pure, unadulterated Suma 2% Extract is in the capsules. Capsules produced with high speed machines in herbal remedy and vitamin "factories" contain several other ingredients, including preservatives because so many bottles of product are produced at one time, and lubricants to ensure that the machines will run faster and more efficiently. Check their labels! Also, Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs is one of the very few manufacturers that still pack their products in glass whenever possible, even though glass is more expensive. Barlowe believes that chemicals can leach out of plastic containers and contaminate the contents, and that the use of glass is much better for the environment. Suma root contains 19 different amino acids, a large number of electrolytes, trace minerals, vitamins, and pantothenic acid. Its high germanium content probably accounts for its properties as an oxygenator and Suma's high iron content may account for its traditional use for anemia. The root also contains novel phytochemicals including saponins, pfaffic acids, glycosides, and nortriterpenes. Suma has been called "the Russian secret," as it has been taken by Russian Olympic athletes for many years to increase muscle-building and endurance without the side effects (and urinalysis problems) associated with steroids. Suma's anabolic action is attributed to a phytochemical called Beta Exdysterone and three novel ecdysteroid glycosides that are found in high concentrations in the herb. Suma is such a rich source of Beta Ecdysterone that it is the subject of a Japanese patent. These same Japanese researchers filed a U.S. patent in 1998 for a proprietary extract of Suma (which extracted the Ecdysterone and Beta Ecdysterone). These researchers claimed (through various in vivo and in vitro studies) that their compound maintained health, enhanced the immune system, and had a tonic and an anti-allergenic effect. The very high saponin content makes Suma very useful in the treatment of high cholesterol and certain types of cancers, and of course, it has long been used as a sex aid and aphrodisiac. Research: Use of Both Suma and Damiana as a Sexual Stimulant Suma Appears To Inhibit Certain Types of Tumors Suma Increase Sex Hormones in Blood Inhibitory Affect of Suma on Certain Cancers Suma is Helpful in Treatment of Sickle Cell Disease Studies on Beta Ecdysterone (A Main Ingredient in Suma): Research by Russian scientists Syrov and Kurmukov (1976) found that Ecdysterone had anabolic activity and increased protein synthesis. Animal studies in rats and Japanese quail have demonstrated significant anabolic effects (Slama et al., 1996; Dinan, 2001). Ecdysterone is also believed to have an anabolic effect in humans (Chermynkh et al., 1988; Simakin et al., 1988; Bizec et al., 2002; Chen et al., 2005). A Russian research study (Chermynkh et al., 1988) compared the muscle building activities of methandrostenolone, a powerful anabolic steroid, and Ecdysterone. They demonstrated that ecdysterone had a wider anabolic action than methandrostenolone on muscle contractile proteins. Another group of Russian researchers (Simakin et al., 1998) looked at the combined effects of Ecdysterone and a high protein diet. They found that when athletes combined a high protein diet with Ecdysterone, lean muscle mass increased by 6-7% and body-fat decreased by 10%. Bizec, B. L., Antigna, J-P., Monteau, F. and Andre, F.
