What “proprietary blend” means for you
The label shows only the total weight of each blend (590 mg, 230 mg and 300 mg), not the amount of each herb. You can't tell how much senna or licorice is in a serving. If you take medication or have a health condition, bring the label to your doctor or pharmacist, or ask Simple Promise™ support (1-800-259-9522).
Phase 1: The Body Cleanse Blend (590 mg)
This is the “flush” part of BellyFlush — and the largest blend. Three of its four herbs are stimulant laxatives, which work by prompting the muscles of the colon to contract and move stool along.
Senna Leaf Extract
Senna is the active ingredient in many drugstore laxatives. Its active compounds, called sennosides, are what make it work; BellyFlush's extract is standardized to 20% sennosides. Over-the-counter senna products advise not using senna for longer than 1 week without a doctor's advice, because long-term use can cause electrolyte imbalance and make the bowel depend on it.
Cascara Sagrada Bark
Cascara sagrada (“sacred bark”) comes from a buckthorn tree native to the Pacific Northwest and has a long history as a laxative. In 2002 the FDA ruled that cascara is not generally recognized as safe and effective in over-the-counter laxative drugs, citing inadequate safety data. It remains legal in dietary supplements. Federal Register, 2002
Cape Aloe Leaf
Cape aloe (Aloe ferox) is a South African aloe whose bitter leaf latex is a strong laxative. It was included in the same 2002 FDA ruling as cascara. Don't confuse it with the soothing aloe vera gel used on skin.
Triphala Fruit (Terminalia bellirica)
Triphala is an Ayurvedic formula traditionally made from three fruits; BellyFlush's label lists one of them, Terminalia bellirica (bibhitaki). It has a long tradition of use for regularity, but modern human research is limited.

Fennel Seed
Fennel is a familiar culinary seed, chewed after meals in many cultures to ease gas and bloating.* It's gentle, but people allergic to plants in the carrot and celery family may react to it.
Bentonite
Bentonite is a natural clay that can bind substances in the gut; the manufacturer calls it a “toxin binder.” Because a clay may also bind other things you swallow, ask your pharmacist whether to take BellyFlush at a different time from your medications.
Phase 3: The Detox & Gut Health Blend (300 mg)
Marshmallow Root & Slippery Elm Bark
Both herbs are rich in mucilage, a gel-like fiber that coats and soothes. They are traditionally used to comfort an irritated digestive tract.* That same coating can slow the absorption of medicines taken at the same time.
Licorice Root Extract
Licorice has long been used for stomach comfort. BellyFlush's extract is standardized to 6% glycyrrhizin. The NIH's NCCIH warns that glycyrrhizin can raise blood pressure and lower potassium, and that even small amounts have been linked to severe effects in people with high blood pressure or heart or kidney conditions. NCCIH: Licorice root
Cayenne Pepper Fruit
Cayenne (40,000 heat units, per the label) is included by the manufacturer for “circulation support.” In some people hot pepper can aggravate heartburn or stomach upset.
Milk Thistle Seed
Milk thistle is a traditional liver herb. The NIH says there isn't enough high-quality evidence to reach firm conclusions about its health effects; its most common side effects are digestive, and it may cause allergic reactions in people allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemum, marigold or daisy. NCCIH: Milk thistle
The Bottom Line on BellyFlush's Formula
BellyFlush pairs a well-known laxative trio (senna, cascara, cape aloe) with traditional soothing and digestive herbs. That design makes sense for occasional constipation and bloating. Its weak points are the proprietary blends, the limited safety data on cascara and aloe, and the licorice, which needs extra caution for adults with high blood pressure. For safety details, read our BellyFlush side effects guide.
