Suma root has the ability to act as an adaptogen, helping the body to cope with stress, increasing energy levels and resistance to disease. Suma root has been marketed under the name "Brazilian Ginseng", in part to trade on the familarity with ginseng amoung North American herbalists. This name can be misleading, while it does display similar properties of ginseng Pfaffia paniculata is not part of the ginseng plant family, it is an amaranth. Limited Japanese studies in the 1970's idenified some minor anti-cancer activity for suma, but there are no major studies to either prove or disprove the benefits of this botanical.

The root of Pfaffia contains about 11% saponins. These saponins include a group of novel chemicals called pfaffosides as well as pfaffic acids, glycosides, and nortriperpenes. These saponins have clinically demonstrated the ability to inhibit cultured tumor cell melanomas and help to regulate blood sugar levels (Takumoto et al. 1983; Nishimoto 1984). The pfaffosides and pfaffic acid derivatives in Pfaffia have been patented as antitumor compounds in two Japanese patents |
