Cascara Sagrada is a dietary supplement in coated tablets, manufactured in the USA for Coral Club. Each tablet carries 487.5 mg of bark powder from Rhamnus purshiana, the cascara buckthorn native to North America, and a bottle holds 100 tablets.

What the manufacturer states

According to Coral Club, cascara sagrada is a plant-based botanical traditionally used to help maintain regularity and support healthy intestinal function, and it supports the body's natural elimination processes and overall digestive balance.* The card describes the bark as containing naturally occurring plant compounds that support normal intestinal processes and help maintain regular bowel movements.*

Read this before the first tablet

Coral Club sets out four separate precautions on the card, and they shape how the product is used more than anything else on this page:

  • Do not use this product if you have abdominal pain or diarrhea.
  • Discontinue use in the event of diarrhea or watery stools.
  • Do not exceed the recommended dose.
  • Not for long-term use.

To which the manufacturer adds that anyone pregnant or nursing should consult a healthcare practitioner before taking the product.

Why "not for long-term use" is the operative line

The active compounds in cascara bark are anthraquinone glycosides, and they work by stimulating the bowel rather than by softening stool or adding bulk. Products of that class are meant for short, occasional use.

Prolonged use of anthraquinone-containing botanicals is associated with melanosis coli, a benign darkening of the colon lining that is documented in the literature and fades once the product is stopped. Sources are listed under Research. Coral Club gives no maximum number of days on the card, so the sensible reading of "not for long-term use" is the shortest course that achieves the purpose, with a physician setting the limit if it is needed repeatedly.

Regulatory status, stated plainly

Cascara sagrada is lawful in dietary supplements in the United States. It is worth knowing, though, that in 2002 the FDA removed it from the list of ingredients allowed in over-the-counter laxative drug products, because the effectiveness data the agency asked for were not submitted. That decision concerned the drug monograph, not this supplement category, and it is stated here for completeness rather than as a safety finding.

Formulation and labels

The tablet is coated, not encapsulated. Binders and fillers are dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium and hydroxypropyl cellulose, with magnesium stearate from a vegetable source; the coating is water, polyethylene glycol and carnauba wax.

Coral Club declares the product free of soy and suitable for vegetarians.

Storage and shelf life

Shelf life is 2 years. Store in a dry place at room temperature, out of reach of children.
