The single biggest situation we see with customers and clients is: regular bowel function. They are very keen on maintaining regularity. Our favourite product for this is Cascara Compound: BUT initially, something extra is sometimes required. And when that is the case, the ‘something extra’ is: Cape Aloe Compound. So, if you can, start with Cascara Compound. But if you need more, then start with Cape Aloe Compound, then move to Cascara Compound or the Colon Programme when you can.
We have a lot of experience – so RING or EMAIL US FOR ADVICE on this issue, please. We can help.
Colit Capsules may help to keep the colon soothed and relaxed. They include the soothing herbs Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root alongside Barberry & Agrimony which can contribute to maintaining intestinal and digestive health.
Our most popular product Cascara Compound Capsules has a couple of variations: Cascara & Lavender Capsules, which substitutes the "hot" herbs cayenne & ginger with lavender, and Cascara & Buckthorn Capsules, which combine Buckthorn with Cascara as the two main ingredients.
Slippery Elm is the powdered inner bark of a North American tree. It is very glutinous. It absorbs water and the tea made "slips down" the throat in to the stomach.
A soothing combination to care for and soothe the stomach and duodenum. Offered in capsule form. Well worth supplementing with Slippery Elm Tea (or Capsules).
Cape Aloe Compound contains herbs such as Cape Aloe, Cascara Sagrada, Senna & Barberry which can help to maintain intestinal health and regular bowel function. We believe that “3 times a day” (as often as you eat) is healthier than than the “once a day” which some sources suggest can be “normal”.

This Cape Aloe is derived from the Aloe Ferox plant growing in southern South Africa – near to Cape Town, hence the name. Synonyms are bitter aloe, aloe latex, red aloe and tap aloe. (It is well-named as “bitter aloe”; if you do happen to dab a speck of the powder onto your tongue, it will be one of the most bitter things you ever taste.)
The part of cape aloe used in the formula is found just below the skin of the cactus-like plant.
Cape aloe is a close relative of the aloe vera plant, whose inner leaves provide a very soothing gel for the skin and digestive tract.
