Sarsaparilla is music of a guy named Brandon Miller with a whole lot of help from his friends. The primary uses of sarsaparilla include the flavoring of beverages such as root beer, and in folk medicine. As a medicinal product, sarsaparilla is supposedly a "blood purifier", aid to detox, and a general "pep agent" that is traditionally used in cordials and tonics to invigorate and cleanse the body, although there is no evidence to support its uses. Nevertheless, in many countries Sarsaparilla cordials or extracts can sometimes be purchased from health food stores. Research articles listed at the National Library of Medicine indicate Sarsaparilla is an immunomodulator via cytokine expression, and is useful in some dermatitis via its anti inflammatory properties, has estrogenic effects useful in treating menopause, has antiviral glycoproteins, is neuroprotective by inhibiting amyloid beta protein formation, and has an anti-proliferative effect on the human hepatoma cell lines. Sarsaparilla is not readily available in most countries, although many pubs and most major supermarket chains in Australia, including Woolworths and Coles, stock sarsaparilla flavored soft drinks. It is marketed as a refreshing drink, much like Coca-Cola is.[citation needed] Heysong Sasparilla soda in Taiwan is also ubiquitous in convenience stores such as 7-11, vending machines, and other outlets. In the Philippines, sarsaparilla was commonly known as root beer under the brand, SARSI. [edit] In popu
