Cascara Sagrada

Cascara Sagrada (Cascara Buckthorn) bark, native to North America, was used for many years, because it does not irritate the gastrointestinal tract and does not create a dependence. Its laxative effect manifests about 8-10 hours after you take it, so it is best to take it before you go to sleep. Cascara Buckthorn bark contains anthraquinones that, after getting to the large intestine, improve its mobility and peristalsis, helping to painlessly move the solid waste along in order to normalize the stool. In comparison with other laxatives, Cascara Sagrada “delicately” cleanses the intestines and maintains a healthy flora.
