Overview
Cascara Sagrada Extract is primarily used as a laxative due to its stimulant effect on the colon. While it can increase bowel movement frequency and consistency, comprehensive scientific research on its effectiveness remains limited. The benefits are mainly based on traditional use rather than robust clinical trials, leading to uncertainty about its clinical efficacy for chronic constipation.
