NOW Foods Cascara Sagrada 450 mg 250 Veg Capsules

The botanical ingredient is the bark of Rhamnus purshiana. Each capsule contains 450 mg, and the 250-capsule bottle identifies the plant part and amount without adding other active herbs.

NOW directs one capsule at bedtime with a full glass of water and instructs users not to exceed the dose. This is a short-term product: continuous use must not extend beyond one week. Its warning specifically addresses diarrhea, loose stools and abdominal pain because cascara can worsen those conditions. The full label restrictions remain relevant even though the bottle contains many individual capsules.
