The blend01
What is in the Finessa gut health blend?
It is five lines sharing one printed weight of 755 mg: cinnamon (cassia) bark, ginger powder, cascara sagrada extract 10:1, deglycyrrhizinated licorice extract and fructooligosaccharides.
US rules let a maker print one total for a blend and hide single amounts, as long as parts are listed from most to least by weight (21 CFR 101.36 (proprietary blends)). So cinnamon is the heaviest part and FOS the lightest.
Blend math02
How much of each ingredient could the blend hold?
Line k of a blend weighs at most the total divided by k, and the first line at least the total divided by the line count.
For Gut Health that gives cinnamon at most 755 mg and at least 151 mg. Ginger is at most 377 mg, cascara 251 mg, DGL 188 mg and FOS 151 mg. These are ceilings from the label order, not a lab test.
| Place | Label line | Weight per scoop |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Beet root | At most about 1,000 mg · at least 111 mg |
| 2 | Black currant | At most about 500 mg |
| 3 | Pomegranate | At most about 333 mg |
| 4 | Raspberry | At most about 250 mg |
| 5 | Strawberry juice | At most about 200 mg |
| 6 | Cranberry | At most about 167 mg |
| 7 | Blueberry | At most about 143 mg |
| 8 | Purple carrot | At most about 125 mg |
| 9 | Acai berry | At most about 111 mg |
| Place | Label line | Weight per scoop |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cinnamon (cassia) | At most about 755 mg · at least 151 mg |
| 2 | Ginger | At most about 378 mg |
| 3 | Cascara sagrada 10:1 | At most about 252 mg |
| 4 | DGL licorice | At most about 189 mg |
| 5 | Fructooligosaccharides | At most about 151 mg |
| Place | Label line | Weight per scoop |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dandelion | At most about 450 mg · at least 90 mg |
| 2 | Turmeric | At most about 225 mg |
| 3 | Milk thistle | At most about 150 mg |
| 4 | Artichoke | At most about 112 mg |
| 5 | Silymarin 80% | At most about 90 mg |
A blend must list its parts from most to least by weight (21 CFR 101.36 (proprietary blends)). The panel prints four blend totals and 2 mg of Akkermansia: 1,000 + 755 + 450 + 52.5 + 2 = 2,259.5 mg a scoop. The tub says 3.38 oz (96 g) and the panel 50 servings, which is about 1.92 g a scoop, so the printed weights do not fit inside one scoop. We do not know which number is off. Ask for the lot certificate of analysis. This is our arithmetic from the label, not a lab test.
The laxative herb03
Is cascara sagrada in Finessa a laxative?
Yes, cascara is a stimulant-laxative herb. Memorial Sloan Kettering calls it a strong laxative (MSK, Cascara (About Herbs)).
It can pull sodium and potassium out with the stool, and prolonged use may harm the liver (MSK, Cascara (About Herbs)). In 2002 FDA ruled that cascara in over-the-counter laxative drug products is not generally recognized as safe and effective (FDA 2002 final rule, cascara sagrada and aloe (Federal Register)).
The sales page's "University of Rochester" source is an encyclopedia entry giving about 300 mg for no more than 6 days (University of Rochester Medical Center, Cascara Sagrada (Health Encyclopedia)). Finessa is a supplement, not a laxative drug. Ask a doctor first if you are pregnant or have liver disease.

FAQ06
Questions about the gut blend
How many mg is the Finessa gut health blend?
The blend is printed as 755 mg per scoop across five lines. Single amounts are hidden, so the weight of each herb is unknown beyond our label-order ceilings.
Which Finessa gut health ingredient is heaviest?
Cinnamon (cassia) bark is listed first, so it weighs the most. It is at most 755 mg and at least 151 mg by our arithmetic from the label order, which is not a lab test (21 CFR 101.36 (proprietary blends)).
Does the Finessa gut health blend help digestion?
No trial has tested this blend, so we cannot say. The label says "Digestive Health Support", which is a wording choice, not a result.
