Differentiation between anthraquinones:Cascara Sagrada or Rhubarb.
The A-factors (anthraquinones) of this herb differ somewhat from those of Cascara Sagrada - only some of them reach the large intestines intact,
While others are re-absorbed in the small intestine, and later released into the large intestine.
The timing of the absorption of Rhubarb is thus displaced to some degree from other popular laxative agents, thereby promoting longer and smoother activity of the whole.
It should be noted that consumption of Rhubarb Root may color the urine yellow or red, but this is not concerning.
