Ingredients explained
Cascara sagrada (Rhamnus purshiana) bark
Anthraquinone glycosides in cascara are metabolized in the colon to stimulate intestinal muscle contraction and increase water in the stool, which may support bowel movements.
Caution: Use short term only and do not exceed the suggested dose because stimulant laxatives may lead to dependence or electrolyte imbalance; avoid use if you have diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Contains cascara sagrada. Follow directions carefully. Do not use if you have or develop diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain. Consult a physician if you have frequent diarrhea, are pregnant or nursing, are taking medication, or have a medical condition. For adults only.
Who should be cautious: People with ongoing gastrointestinal issues such as frequent diarrhea or abdominal pain should be cautious. Those who are pregnant or nursing, on medications, or with underlying medical conditions should speak with a healthcare provider before use.
