Based on Dr. Christopher's famous ‘Lower Bowel Formula’, our Burdock & Cascara capsules have a gentle action which helps to strengthen and normalize bowel function. They are much milder than our Aloe & Senna capsules and can be used over a longer period of time. Burdock & Cascara capsules are generally used by those who have a bowel movement at least every 2 days or for maintenance following a bowel cleanse. The Burdock root has a prebiotic action which helps ‘friendly’ bacteria to thrive and assists assimilation of nutrients.
Ingredients: Fennel seed, Cascara aged bark, Burdock root, Agrimony, Raspberry leaf, Ginger, Cayenne, Thyme and Garlic bulb in vegetable capsules.
Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans.
Taking the Capsules: start with 2 capsules taken with your evening meal. Increase the dose by one capsule on each subsequent day until a”satisfying” bowel movement is achieved, usually the following morning. Remain on that dose and adjust if necessary.
