Where do you buy yours?
Thanks for this. What effects/dosage/timing did you found worked best for you and what wer eyou measuring success against? Much appreciated.Health Natura for me, very good aged product, works flawlessly.
I will say, however, that i've tried a lot of supplements over time - Cascara is by far the worst-tasting, most unpleasant of them all. I can't believe I ever tried to just choke it down! We should never take supplements this way. Some people like to brew Cascara in a tea. My favorite way - I believe its the easiest - is to put it in a gelatin capsule. I ordered some of these from Health Natura (or was it LGS?). It's the best option imo. The horrible bitter taste is completely avoided and I've never had issues with acid reflux or anything.

Maltodextrin: What it is, dangers, and substitutesOne study has shown that maltodextrin increases the activity of Escherichia coli bacteria, which may have a role in the development of the inflammatory bowel disease known as Crohn’s disease.
Another study has linked maltodextrin to the survival of Salmonellabacteria, which may cause gastroenteritis and a broad range of chronic inflammatory conditions.
A recent study suggested that maltodextrin may also compromise the ability of cells to respond to bacteria. It could also suppress intestine defense mechanisms against them, leading to intestinal disorders.
Does Maltodextrin Contain GMOs?
Maltodextrin is often made from genetically-modified corn.
According to the FDA, GMO corn does not pose any health risk. Scientific evidence has shown that foods from genetically-engineered plants are just as safe as those from comparable non-GMO counterparts (16).
Since all ingredients in certified organic products must be GMO-free, maltodextrin in those products must be made from non-GMO corn or wheat (17).
Summary: Maltodextrin is often made from GMO corn. However, certified organic products containing maltodextrin do not contain GMOs.
I have not asked him. I wouldn’t buy cascara that contains maltodextrin. The owner of LGS said 30% of their product is maltodextrin.@Logan-
did you ever email ray to ask about it? I'm pretty sure the maltodextrin is used in such small amounts, combined with cascaras benefits that its not a big problem. However I'm also unsure just how much they need to use for the powder, its probably to prevent clumping or something. Maybe if you have a corn intolerance it could be worse though.

Regarding cascara boosting temperature, have you noticed any flushing of the skin as a result? I only ask because your comment on temp is the closest thing I can find anywhere that may suggest flushing from cascara is possible, and its a side effect I'm experiencing that I'm pretty sure is related to cascara.Health Natura, Life Giving Store, and Saturee all offer premium, pure Cascara Sagrada supplements.
Cascara is a potent quinone that exhibits stimulant laxative, anti-multi-stress hormone effects. It stimulates the bowels ~ 8 hours after consuming. As such, I only ever cnsume it at night - its nice to get the bowels moving when you wake up. I've noticed it boosting temperatures very quickly. I would definitely have it in your arsenal - its one of the most powerful substances/supplements I've tried. The scoop from LGS should explain to start out with 1/2 of the scoop (~50mg), I moved up to a full scoop (100mg) after about 2 weeks. I now use about 2/5-2 scoops (150-200mg) every other night or so, or whenever I can remember.
