Cascara Sagrada dosing
-
Does anyone use cascara sagrada on a daily basis? Or do you anticipate constipation/use as a treatment only when you are irregular?

@gnc_destroyer I've used cascara sagrada occasionally as needed, if I foresee digestive trouble from a meal. It came with an extremely tiny measuring spoon (don't know the exact measurement, but less than 1/10 of a 1/4 teaspoon), and I would typically use about half that amount (very small amount). It is extremely bitter, and I found it most palatable in cranberry juice (very delicious). That worked well.
However, I haven't used it for a while because I discovered that hops aid digestion in a similar manner, so now I just drink a beer with a meal that might otherwise be digestively tricky. Hops are an old herbal remedy for stimulating the production of digestive juices. For example, I used to struggle with pizza, and could not eat more than two slices without digestive trouble. If I drink a beer with the pizza, I can eat 4 slices without difficulty.
