hasanth 19 Posted February 4, 2019 Sarsaparilla is native to South America, but Smilax species with medicinal benefit are common around the world. Sarsaparilla is thought to bind endotoxins. Endotoxins are the debris created when pathogenic bacteria are killed off. Sarsaparilla also offers antibacterial and antifungal properties. It is commonly used in Lyme disease protocols. Traditionally, it is used for treatment of psoriasis and other skin conditions. Also, sarsaparilla has been used traditionally for treatment of syphilis,gonorreah (another spirochete, like Borrelia). Sarsaparilla increases bioavailability of other herbs and enhances benefit (synergist). Other beneficial properties include potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also enhances immune function. Sarsaparilla is a synergist for Lyme protocols and important for restoration of gastrointestinal function. Suggested dosage: 200-1000 mg of standardized root extract two to three times daily. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
JandKinBoise 858 Posted February 7, 2019 Before taking this, do a quick search and look for the hazards. The main hazard with sarsaparilla is the sketchy manufacturers(the supplement industry is full of crooks). If a trustworthy source is providing the supplement, and your doctor is cool with you taking this, then you should have no issues. The only reason to ask your doctor would be if you are already on a regime of medication and supplements. Sarsaparilla may affect how your body absorbs other meds.
