I've been using Cascara Sagrada for constipation for several years now and I have never had any problems with it. In fact out of all the commercial products I have ever used, none of them measured up to Cascara. I find it vary weird that the FDA once approved it and later removed their approval. They have a reputation of doing this if they find any herbal or natural products cut into their profits...

I have always had persistent problems with gas pains, bad foul smelling gas, constipation, bloating, etc. since I was a little girl. (I am now 54) Desperate for a cure, I experimented with everything on the market including Miralax, Senokot, Milk of Magnesium, Magnesium Citrate, Oxide, Oxy-powder, Dulcolax, Psyllium Husk, Benefiber, prune juice, pre and probiotics, high colonics, (and the list goes on). Never once was I able to experience normalcy (a pain free, gas free, constipation free, bloat free day). About 3 months ago, I was on Amazon in search for another supplement, when I came across cascara sagrada as a possible supplement for colon health. I read so many positive reviews that I decided to give it a try, with of course a lot of hesitation due to the considerable years of failing to find relief. I can NOW say that my search is finally over. I take 270 mgs daily right before I go to bed and am good to go by the following morning. NO pain, NO gas, NO bloat, NO constipation, NO smelly gas. This to me is a true miracle and I thank GOD for having given me the persistence in my search for a cure to my bowel issues. This however is my story and may not to applicable to everyone's bowel health. Everyone reacts differently to one supplement or another. What works for someone may not work for another etc etc. I can only give you my testimony as it pertains to my condition. Thank you for reading and God bless you all.Read More Read Less

I've been suffering since I was a child with constipation. Recently, when my fiber regimen was not working at all for about a month, I got desperate. Faced with going to the doctor for a ineffective solution, I stumbled across this at the health food store this past weekend. After 1 400mg capsule a day for 4 days, I am pretty much sold on this. Where has this been my whole life?

I never had issues with constipation but i do take medications that can cause it. I was trying laxatives but they all bothered me. Anemias work great though but it wasn't helping keep me regular. I started taking cascara sagrada 450 mg 1 time at night.. it does make me very thirsty and a bit gassy at night but so far i been going everyday comfortably. I feel better throughout the day. The gassyness at night is worth it it doesn't keep me up but going to the bathroom to pee a little more now.

I am commenting on this product before try it, however when I was a child I was in constant agony, suffering from constipation. My mother, talking to our pharmacist, was told about liquid Cascara. She purchased a bottle and gave me a teaspoon every time I needed relief. It was the most horrible tasting stuff ever, but it worked like a charm. I'm looking forward to getting relief from this product.

I have suffered from severe constipation for many years, probably related to prescription medication for Raynaud's and RA. My diet is excellent, full of fresh vegetables and fruit plus whole grains. Despite doing all the right things I was horribly constipated and couldn't even find relief taking otc fiber options and it was just getting worse. Came across Cascara Sagrada incidentally and decided to give it a try, for the first time in years I feel "normal"! My belly isn't painfully bloated anymore and I'm no longer finding blood on the toilet paper. If low potassium could be a possible issue I will happily eat more oranges and potatoes! I take one Cascara Sagrada 450 mg capsule a day made and sold by Piping Rock.Read More Read Less

I would start off taking 1 at morning and 1 at night. Ny bottle said 2 in morning and 2 at night and it ended up giving me diarrhea for a day and then it was more regular after taking 1 day.

I have had wonderful results with Cascara Sagrada for constipation. I have Multiple Sclerosis, and chronic constipation no matter how healthy my diet is - I cannot get relief from any other product that doesn't cause side affects. I have to take 750mg ( 3 capsules) or so to clear my system every few days and it works like a charm. Long-term use is fine with me, and its efficacy remains the same rather than it being depleted like some products that one takes regularly.

I have used Cascara for at least 15 years for constipation. I don't need it often, but it works great for me when I do use it. I don't get any of the cramping when using Cascara. I had to go to Gastroenterology Doctor the other day for my Acid Reflux problem. When I told Doctor that the medicine for the Reflux problem made me constipated and I used Cascara, she was not happy. Did not give me any reason why not to use it though. Doctor would rather have a person take the prescription Laxative than a natural laxative? To me less chemicals is better for my body. I recommend Cascara although I don't take it on a daily basis.Read More Read Less

It works, but also is harsh and causes stomach distress.
