Anyone ever tried this supp? Since taking it I’ve gotten terrible “explosive” got to get to toilet ASAP...like 10-12 hours after taking it. Only been using it for a week but it’s the only thing I can point too. Going to drop it for a couple of days and see if it stops. The long duration behind consumption and “issue” is what has me baffled.
Wow, that is crazy.
So I looked up the active ingredient is Emodin with bioperine (The latter helps with bioavailability)
Emodin
Displays Laxative Properties
Traditionally, emodin has been used as a laxative. It is said to stimulate the evacuation of bowel movement by exciting smooth muscle cells in the large intestine. Also, emodin in the colon breaks down into another compound known as aglycone, which also draws more water in the gut. This also works in eliminating fecal matter from the body. So, emodin may help treat constipation by stimulating bowel movement.
Side Effects
Taking supplemental form of emodin in higher doses or using it for an extended duration of time can cause diarrhea. So the very purpose of using emodin may actually become a problem if it is not taken in the right amounts. Emodin can also negatively affect the digestive system and cause nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset. Taking emodin for prolonged duration can have a major impact on the health. For instance, chronic use can increase the risk of liver or kidney problems. So monitoring the function of these organs is necessary when taking emodin for an extended duration.
An important point to note here is that medical uses of emodin are not backed by the FDA. The medical advantages of emodin are lacking in extensive clinical research. So before taking emodin supplements for medical purposes, make sure you consult with your health care provider.
wow that is brutal. i know bioperine is great for helping with glucose issues but the other compound i didnt know anything about. def wouldnt be using a supp with that stuff in there
I have used it twice at 4 capsules per day. I have colitis but didn’t get any issues like you saw. I did however get very yellow urine and other bodily fluids. I wasn’t sure if it was just from the cortibloc or a combo of oral agents so I removed the cortibloc first and the yellowing subsided. I also can’t say that I noticed any differences in recovery while taking the supplement. I did give it two go arounds just to confirm whether I did or did not feel any benefit.
