About Alder Buckthorn Bark 50 g
Alder buckthorn bark is a natural remedy that positively affects the functional state of the digestive system. The main action of the plant is due to the presence of anthracene derivatives (frangulin, emodin), which, after entering the large intestine, break down and stimulate its peristalsis. Thanks to this, the product helps soften stool masses, optimizes motility, and facilitates bowel movements.
A special feature of its action is a mild and time-extended effect, which usually manifests 8–12 hours after intake, ensuring a natural cleansing rhythm without sharp cramping.

Scientific Research on Alder Buckthorn Bark (Frangulae cortex)
According to scientific reviews and studies on the phytotherapeutic properties of Rhamnus frangula L. (Frangula alnus Mill.), the anthraquinone glycosides of alder buckthorn bark are not broken down in the small intestine, but reach the large intestine, where under the influence of microflora they are converted into active metabolites. This helps reduce the absorption of water and electrolytes and normalizes the volume of large intestine contents, as confirmed by data from the European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy (ESCOP):
- Mechanism of Action and ESCOP Monograph: according to the scientific standards of the European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy (ESCOP Monographs), glucofrangulins are cleaved into frangula-emodin under the influence of bacterial beta-glucosidases in the colon. This active metabolite stimulates colon peristalsis and retains fluid in its lumen, providing a mild and predictable laxative effect after 8–12 hours.
- Official EMA / HMPC Evaluation: as noted in the scientific monograph of the Committee on Herbal Medicinal Products of the European Medicines Agency (EMA / HMPC), alder buckthorn bark is an established herbal medicine for short-term use in the symptomatic treatment of episodic constipation and to facilitate defecation.
- Antibacterial and Pharmacological Profile: studies in the PubMed database regarding the biological activity of Frangula alnus confirm that in addition to regulating GI motility, the anthranoids and tannins of alder buckthorn bark possess moderate antioxidant and antibacterial properties against specific strains of intestinal microflora.
