This is an old standby laxative formula. To cleanse and tone the colon, take 2-4 capsules before bedtime or 1-2 capsules with meals. It is best taken with lots of water and with bulking herbs like psyllium.

WARNINGS: These constituents of stimulant laxatives such as cascara sagrada can be transferred to babies through the milk of nursing mothers, so use with caution when nursing. Long-term use of stimulant laxatives can drain the energy of the colon. Generally speaking, these laxatives should be necessary for occasional use only. If the bowel does not return to normal function look deeper into the underlying causes of constipation and work with those. Typical problems include a lack of digestive enzymes, poor liver function, not drinking enough water, lack of dietary fiber, magnesium deficiency, sedentary lifestyle (insufficient exercise), and stress (muscle spasms).
