HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Suma Root Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita

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 glycerite liquid extract. Suma root is a plant used traditionally in supplements and foods, and here it's prepared as a liquid extract with glycerin and strawberry flavor as inactive ingredients to improve taste and texture.

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 have doesn't establish how well suma root works for any specific purpose. We hold no effectiveness ratings for this ingredient in our data, so we can't tell you what it may or may not do.

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.

Suma taken by mouth appears to be well tolerated — no adverse effects have been reported in the data we hold, though a full safety evaluation hasn't been done. The safety information for pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited: the facts advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to insufficient data.

One caution: if inhaled as a powder, suma root can trigger asthma-like symptoms in sensitive people, but that's not a concern with this liquid form.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a single-ingredient supplement with no documented medication interactions, but human safety data are limited overall. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the available information suggests skipping it and talking with your doctor or pharmacist first.
