The active constituents of cascara are the anthraquinones. They are inactive in the gastrointestinal tract until they  reach the colon; there they produce a soft or formed stool within about six to eight hours and cause vigorous peristalsis.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdult and Child ( \u0026gt; 12 y) Dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e: Take 2 capsules daily, with water or juice on an empty stomach.
