Cascara Sagrada
Pure Herbs
Overview
This product contains Cascara Sagrada, an herbal ingredient traditionally used as a laxative. While it can produce a laxative effect by stimulating bowel movements, systematic reviews indicate a lack of robust clinical evidence to support its contemporary safe and effective use for chronic constipation, and it has been removed from over-the-counter status by the FDA.
The Good
Provides effective relief for occasional constipation due to its stimulant laxative properties.
Derived from a natural plant source.
Fast-acting within 6-8 hours, providing relatively quick relief.
The Bad
Not recognized as safe and effective for over-the-counter use by the FDA due to lack of evidence.
Potential for dependence and electrolyte imbalance with prolonged use.
Can cause common side effects such as abdominal cramping and diarrhea.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking short-term constipation relief
