HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Suma by Beachbody Extreme Nutrition

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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product has four active ingredients. Suma and suma root extract make up the core, both derived from the sama plant and traditionally used in herbal practice.

The product also contains Activessence and Excelerase, though we have no detailed information on those on file. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients (hypromellose, calcium carbonate, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide) that help form and preserve the tablet.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Muscle growth boost.
  • We looked for evidence on: Muscle strength, Athletic performance, Exercise recovery.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We don't hold effectiveness ratings for any of the active ingredients in this product, so we can't tell you from our data whether they work for any particular purpose. If you're considering it for a specific health goal, ask your pharmacist or doctor what the evidence actually shows.

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 appears to be well tolerated — no adverse effects have been reported in the data we hold. That said, a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been done, so human safety information is limited.

When inhaled as a powder, suma root can trigger allergic asthma symptoms, though that's an occupational concern rather than a typical supplement risk. For pregnancy: the safety data advises against it — there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

For breastfeeding: the same applies — avoid it unless you've talked this through with your doctor or pharmacist, since reliable safety data don't exist.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Suma

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented for the suma ingredients we could check. That's not a guarantee no interactions exist — especially for Activessence and Excelerase, which we have no data on — so use the medication checker on this page with your specific drugs before you begin.

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.

Super Suma may be worth considering if you're drawn to traditional herbal supplements and aren't pregnant or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Since we couldn't check two of the four active ingredients, run your full medication list through our search tool before you start.
