Long before sarsaparilla became famous as the flavor of old-fashioned root beer, it was one of the most prized medicinal roots in the traditional medicine systems of Central and South America, the Caribbean, and the southern United States. Indigenous peoples of the Amazon and Central America used it as a blood-purifying and skin-supporting tonic for centuries. When Spanish explorers encountered it in the 16th century, they carried it back to Europe where it quickly became one of the most sought-after botanical imports — valued by European physicians for its traditional purifying and skin-supportive properties. Sarsaparilla enjoyed such widespread popularity in 19th-century traditional medicine that it became one of the defining flavors of the era's herbal tonics and was eventually immortalized in the iconic flavor of sarsaparilla root beer. The climbing vine (Smilax ornata) grows wild in the tropical and subtropical regions of Central and South America and the southern United States, with roots that can extend up to 8 feet in length from starchy, deeply anchored underground systems. Our Sarsaparilla Root capsules deliver 100% pure, organic Smilax ornata root at 540mg per capsule with nothing else added.

Ingredient

• 100% Organic Sarsaparilla Root (Smilax ornata) — 540mg per capsule
  The starchy, deeply pigmented root of the Smilax ornata vine is naturally rich in saponins (including sarsaponin and smilogenin) — plant steroids that give sarsaparilla its characteristic foaming quality and are its primary studied active compounds. It also contains plant sterols, flavonoid antioxidants including quercetin and kaempferol, naturally occurring resins, and phytosterols. Saponins in sarsaparilla have been studied for their naturally occurring anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and their traditional role as a binding agent for endotoxins in the gut — one of the proposed mechanisms behind sarsaparilla's long traditional use as a blood-purifying herb.

How to Use

Recommended Dosage: Take 2-3 capsules daily with food and water, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Taking with food is recommended as sarsaparilla may cause mild stomach upset when first introduced, particularly on an empty stomach. For best results, use consistently as part of a daily detox and wellness routine.

Traditional Wellness Uses

• Skin Wellness & Blood Purifying Support — Sarsaparilla's most celebrated and consistent traditional use across indigenous American, Caribbean, and European herbal practice is as a blood-purifying and skin-supportive herb. In traditional herbalism, healthy skin is intimately connected to healthy blood and lymphatic function — and sarsaparilla's saponins have traditionally been valued for their role in supporting natural blood cleansing and the elimination of impurities that can affect skin appearance and comfort.
• Detox & Lymphatic Wellness Support — Sarsaparilla's saponin content has traditionally been associated with supporting the body's natural detoxification pathways — particularly through the liver and lymphatic system — making it a traditional component of blood-cleansing and detox protocols alongside herbs like Burdock and Dandelion Root.
• Hormonal Balance Wellness Support — Sarsaparilla's naturally occurring plant sterols and steroidal saponins have traditionally been associated with supporting healthy hormonal balance, making it one of the most historically used herbs in this area of traditional wellness practice.
• Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Wellness Support — Sarsaparilla's naturally occurring quercetin, kaempferol, and flavonoid antioxidants have traditionally been valued for supporting the body's natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory balance.
• Immune Wellness Support — Traditionally associated with supporting the body's natural immune resilience through its broad saponin and flavonoid profile.
• Fluid Balance & Urinary Wellness Support — Traditionally used as a gentle diuretic botanical, supporting the body's natural fluid balance and healthy urinary elimination.
• Gut & Digestive Wellness Support — Sarsaparilla's plant sterols have traditionally been associated with supporting a healthy gut environment, digestive comfort, and overall gastrointestinal wellness.
