Cascara Sagrada [Intestinal], known as sacred bark, is one of Natures Sunshines most popular herbal products. Its popularity is no accident. As a nutritional support for the eliminative function, the bark has been used by cultures around the world, including the Native North Americans and American settlers. Spanish missionaries noticed its use among the natives and called it sacred; hence, the Spanish name. It was first marketed in 1877, and was later acknowledged and used by the medical profession. Natures Sunshine offers the herb individually or in many combinations. Its available in gelatin capsules and all-botanical Vegitabs®. Each capsule contains 390 mg cascara sagrada (Vegitabs 410 mg).
