It is considered to be a tonic that is helpful to people who may be recovering from the flu, as well as anyone else who lacks energy and stamina. The herb promotes healthy energy levels and combats the effects of fatigue and stress.
Suma has been called "the Russian secret," as it has been taken by Russian Olympic athletes for its muscle-building and endurance-enhancing benefits, without the side effects associated with steroids. The native tribes of the Amazon rainforest have used Suma for at least three hundred years as an effective aphrodisiac, and it is believed to help restore sexual function in both men and women.
