About Nature’s Sunshine Cascara Sagrada

For centuries, the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest have treasured a remarkable tree bark known as Cascara Sagrada, or “sacred bark.” This time-honored botanical has played an important role in traditional wellness practices, and Nature’s Sunshine brings you this respected herb in a convenient, quality-assured form.

Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Quality

Cascara Sagrada comes from the bark of Rhamnus purshiana, a tree that grows naturally along the coastal regions from British Columbia to northern California. The bark has been used by cultures around the world as a nutritional support for proper waste elimination. Native American tribes discovered that the bark needed to be properly aged before use, developing traditional methods of preparation that ensured both safety and effectiveness.

Sustainably Sourced from the Pacific Northwest

What makes Nature’s Sunshine Cascara Sagrada special is our commitment to authentic sourcing and quality. We work with experienced cultivators who have harvested cascara sagrada by hand for generations. Wild-crafted and sustainably sourced in the Pacific northwest, our cascara is harvested each year from mid-May to August from trees between 10-20 years old. This careful harvesting ensures both environmental sustainability and optimal potency.

Traditional Preparation for Modern Use

The traditional preparation process is equally important. After harvest, the fresh cascara bark is ground into 3–4-inch sections and then kiln-dried to age before being ground again. This aging process is crucial because fresh bark contains compounds that can cause digestive upset. The traditional aging method allows these compounds to naturally break down, resulting in a gentler, more balanced botanical.

Quality You Can Trust

Each two-capsule serving of Nature’s Sunshine Cascara Sagrada provides 780 mg of this traditionally prepared bark. This amount reflects traditional usage patterns while providing convenience for modern lifestyles. The capsule format makes it easy to incorporate into your daily wellness routine without the bitter taste associated with bark preparations.

Cascara Sagrada contains naturally occurring compounds called anthraquinones, including cascarosides A, B, C, and D. These compounds are part of what made this botanical so valued by traditional cultures. The bark’s effectiveness led Spanish settlers to name it “cascara sagrada” in honor of its beneficial properties, and by the late 1800s, cascara was being exported overseas.
