HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Suma Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Suma Root Extract, Dry. It's prepared as a liquid using glycerin and water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Suma product and its label doesn't state a use — see Suma's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold doesn't include effectiveness ratings for Suma Root Extract. That means we don't have established data on how well it works for any particular purpose.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Suma

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Orally, Suma Root Extract seems to be well tolerated — no adverse effects have been reported in the data we hold. However, the overall safety picture in humans is limited, and a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been completed.

One important note: when suma root powder is inhaled (not swallowed), it's caused occupational asthma and allergic symptoms in some people, so you'd want to avoid breathing it in.

Suma Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Suma Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Suma Alcohol Free. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Suma Alcohol Free contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is Suma Alcohol Free safe to take while pregnant?
The safety data aren't reliable enough — there isn't enough information to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What about breastfeeding?
Again, there's no reliable safety data, so you'd want to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist before using it while breastfeeding.
Are there any side effects from taking it by mouth?
In the data we have, suma seems well tolerated when swallowed — no adverse effects have been reported. A complete safety evaluation hasn't been done, though, so individual reactions are always possible.
What does Suma Root Extract do?
We don't have effectiveness data on file for what this ingredient is meant to treat or support, so I can't speak to that from the facts we have.
