Black Sarsaparilla Capsules, 90 Count Supplement (Zarzaparrilla)

Each tube contains 90 organic or wildcrafted black sarsaparilla root vegetable capsules, Smilax aristolochiifolia, known as zarzaparrilla in Spanish, which is how most of the Spanish speaking world asks for it. Country of origin Mexico.

Every batch is third party tested for identity, heavy metals, and microbials.

Sarsaparilla is a woody climbing vine whose root is the classic botanical behind old fashioned root beer and sarsaparilla soft drinks. These capsules are the root itself, dried and milled, not the flavoring and not a soda. Just sarsaparilla root in a vegetable capsule, no fillers or additives.

What is in a serving
A serving is 3 capsules and each tube holds 30 servings. Every serving gives 1350 mg of black sarsaparilla root, with the Daily Value not established, which is normal for a botanical. It also naturally carries 0.9 mg of iron, 5 percent of the Daily Value. The only other ingredient is the capsule, vegetable cellulose.

The iron, and the warning that comes with it
Sarsaparilla root naturally contains a small amount of iron, and because this product declares iron on the panel it carries the federal iron warning. Read it before you buy, particularly if there are small children in the house. It is printed under Precautions at the bottom of this page and on the tube.

How to take it
As a dietary supplement, take 1 to 3 capsules daily.

How to store it
Tightly closed in a dry place at room temperature, 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C), as printed on the tube.

Frequently asked questions

What is in sarsaparilla, and what are the ingredients?
One ingredient. Black sarsaparilla root, Smilax aristolochiifolia, 1350 mg in a 3 capsule serving, which naturally carries 0.9 mg of iron. The capsule shell is vegetable cellulose. Nothing else: no fillers, no binders, no flow agents, no flavoring.

Is this an extract?
No. This is the whole root, dried and milled into a capsule. An extract is concentrated and standardized; whole root is simply the plant. Neither is better, they are different things, and we tell you which one you are buying.

How much sarsaparilla should I take daily?
Our label directs 1 to 3 capsules daily. Three capsules is a full 1350 mg serving, and a tube of 90 lasts 30 days at that rate.

What is the difference between this and your sarsaparilla powder?
Same species, different job. The capsules are measured and tasteless, for taking daily. Our sarsaparilla root powder is 4 oz of the same root milled loose, for brewing sarsaparilla tea and making homemade root beer, where the flavor is the point.

Why is it called black sarsaparilla?
Black sarsaparilla is a trade name for the darker, more strongly flavored grade of Smilax aristolochiifolia root. It is the same botanical species you would find sold simply as sarsaparilla.

Is sarsaparilla the same as sarsaparilla soda?
No. The soda is flavored with the root, or more often these days with something imitating it. This is the root.

Where can I buy sarsaparilla capsules?
Here. This is 90 vegetable capsules of organic or wildcrafted black sarsaparilla root from Mexico, one herb, nothing added. Orders leave in 1 to 2 business days, and we ship worldwide with duty pre paid for most countries. If you are looking at the Smilax family more broadly, our cocolmeca capsules are a related vine from the same genus.
