Cascara Sagrada Extract (Rhammus purshianus)
Wachters'
Overview
The product's effectiveness for short-term constipation relief relies on Cascara Sagrada, an ingredient with recognized laxative properties, although high-quality clinical trials are limited. The proprietary blend, however, obscures the exact dosage of Cascara Sagrada and the contribution of other ingredients like sea vegetation and chlorophyll, making a precise efficacy assessment challenging.

The Bad
Proprietary blend obscures the exact dosage of Cascara Sagrada, making efficacy and safety assessment difficult.
