Body First Cascara Sagrada (450mg) - 100 caps is a supplement formulated with rhamnus purshiana, which is a type of buckhorn widely-known for its long record of use as a powerful herbal laxative among the Native Americans. It is commonly used for relieving constipation and also for overall bowel cleansing.

Cascara’s very effective ability to induce bowel movements is derived from the high levels of Cascara glycosides, or cascarosides A, B, C & D that it contains. These compounds help induce bowel movements and accelerate the excretory process. Studies have also found that the Cascara Sagrada plant also has the ability to strengthen the walls of the colon through increasing their muscle tone. And this mechanism may even keep on supporting healthy digestion and bowel movements long after the supplement is discontinued. It is advised to take around 225-450mg of this supplement in the early evening to help induce regular bowel movements early morning the next day.
