Cascara Sagrada: Nature's Gentle Motility Agent
Cascara Sagrada, which translates to "sacred bark" in Spanish, is extracted from the bark of the California buckthorn tree. It has been utilized for centuries by Native Americans to naturally support bowel regularity.
How It Works
Cascara Sagrada contains active compounds called anthraquinones. When these compounds reach the large intestine, they interact with the gut bacteria to gently stimulate the muscles of the intestinal wall.
This stimulation encourages peristalsis—the wave-like muscle contractions that move food and waste through the digestive tract. By encouraging this natural rhythm, Cascara Sagrada:
- Helps relieve occasional constipation without harsh, synthetic chemicals.
- Assists in the botanical support of built-up waste and waste that can leave you feeling sluggish and bloated.
- Promotes a lighter, flatter belly by ensuring complete and satisfying bowel movements.
It is often used in combination with liver-supporting ingredients to create a complete, top-to-bottom digestive cleanse.
