Could you share your experiences with it?
It's typically recommended to have right before bed, but I've found 1/8th of a tsp sometime before lunch, my bowel movement the next day seems to be in more quantity.
Thanks. Any difference in your energy metabolism, mood, mental concentration etc.?

I've been using cascara every other night for a couple week now (high quality aged) and I'm a little weary of it. It definitely helps with relieving constipation (after about 24 hours) but if I stop using it for even 2 nights then the benefits disappear and I go back to being bloated and constipated. So I don't really understand how someone would benefit from using it a couple times a month or "as needed".Thanks guys, RP’s article gives a very positive view of it, in theory at least it should have wonderful effects like reducing estrogen, serotonin, NO, endotoxin, histamine, inflammation etc.
Cascara, energy, cancer and the FDA's laxative abuse.
Do you have any localized pain, like in your lower right abdomen or elsewhere? Have you performed a stool sample with a gastroenterologist? What does your poop look like when you finally do go?I've been using cascara every other night for a couple week now (high quality aged) and I'm a little weary of it.

What is making me weary are two side effects that seem to have popped up pretty quickly. One is I keep noticing the closer I am from my last dose, the worse my libido is. The other is similar timing, but facial flushing. For a day or so after my last dose I have pretty noticeable redness in my face. If I haven't had it for a couple days my face goes back to normal.
I still haven't been able to find anything regarding cascara causing either of these side effects. Not sure at this point if I should stick with it and hope it works out or if I should abort. But the thought of going back to being badly constipated and bloated isn't all that thrilling.
