FAQ
- What is cascara sagrada, and how does it support digestive health?
Cascara sagrada is a traditional botanical that has been used for generations to support healthy bowel function and digestive regularity. The bark contains naturally occurring compounds called anthraquinone glycosides, which help stimulate normal intestinal motility and support healthy elimination. - How does cascara sagrada support healthy bowel regularity?
Cascara sagrada helps support occasional bowel regularity by promoting normal movement of the intestines and encouraging healthy elimination. Traditionally used for short-term digestive support, it is best suited for occasional use when dietary or lifestyle changes temporarily affect regularity. Drinking plenty of water and maintaining a fiber-rich diet can further support healthy digestive function. - What are the active compounds in cascara sagrada?
Cascara sagrada naturally contains anthraquinone glycosides, including compounds such as cascarosides A, B, C, and D. These naturally occurring plant constituents have been studied for their role in supporting healthy intestinal motility and promoting occasional bowel regularity. Swanson Cascara Sagrada delivers the whole herb to provide its naturally occurring phytochemicals in their original balance. - When should I take Swanson Cascara Sagrada?
For best results, take Swanson Cascara Sagrada as directed on the product label with a full glass of water. Because cascara sagrada is traditionally used to support occasional bowel regularity, many people choose to take it in the evening. It is intended for short-term, occasional use and should not be used continuously unless directed by a qualified healthcare professional. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult your healthcare provider before use. - How long does it take cascara sagrada to work?
Cascara sagrada is traditionally used to support occasional bowel regularity, and its effects are generally experienced within 6 to 12 hours of taking it.
