What is the Cascara Sagrada?

Cascara sagrada is the dried bark of the Rhamnus purshiana tree, traditionally used by Native Americans as a natural laxative. It is one of the most effective and safe herbal laxatives when used correctly.

Mechanism of action:

Cascara sagrada is a stimulant laxative that works in several ways:

Stimulates Peristalsis: Increases colon movements by gently irritating the intestinal mucosa, promoting evacuation.

It acts on the nervous system: It stimulates the enteric nervous system that controls intestinal movements.

Reduces Fluid Absorption: Decreases the absorption of fluid and electrolytes in the colon, preventing stools from becoming excessively dehydrated and resulting in constipation.

Active components - Cascarsosides:

Cascarsosides A (390 mg): Main active ingredient with laxative effect.

Cascarsosides B (52 mg): Complements the laxative action.

These anthraquinone compounds are responsible for the laxative effect of cascara sagrada.

Additional benefits:

Improves Liver Metabolism: Stimulates liver function and bile production.

Reduces Cholesterol and Triglycerides: Helps lower blood lipid levels.

Fructooligosaccharides (326 mg): Prebiotics that feed the beneficial intestinal flora.
