Our Herbal Supplement is a blend of cascara sagrada, aloe powder, and licorice root that is intended for relief of occasional constipation. We recommend taking two Herbal Supplement tablets the night before starting a 7 Day Cleansing Program. They can also be used daily while on the Cleanse, but should not be used regularly for an extended period of time (i.e., more than one week). If symptoms of constipation persist, you should consult with your health care provider about addressing the root cause of the constipation. Our experience has shown that people generally get better results from the 7 Day Cleansing Program if they take Herbal Supplements with their final Cleansing Drink of the day. Poor dietary choices, low fluid intake, and lack of exercise are factors that can directly contribute to constipation. Bowel regularity should be achieved and maintained through changes in lifestyle, and not through the use of laxatives.
