Undecenoic acid, derived from castor bean.

INGREDIENTS: Each gelcap contains 10-Undecenoic Acid: 50 mg. (derived

Definition:

castor-oil plant, a tall plant, Ricinus communis, of the spurge

family, cultivated for its ornamental foliage and having poisonous

seeds that are the source of castor oil.

Also called castor bean.

Castor oil is a purgative (causing evacuation of the bowels).

What is Castor Oil?

The greenish extract of a large tropical plant, castor oil has been

used for many years to ease constipation and induce vomiting.

Basically, it's WD40 (oil used in machines) for the gastro-intestinal

tract.

As any Little_Rascals fan knows, castor oil is a notoriously ghastly

tasting

liquid. " http://health./health/Drugs_Tree/Medication_or_Drug/

0248/ " recommends chilling castor oil in the fridge and mixing with

cold orange juice before ingesting to make it more palatable. The

mind (and tummy) reels.

But castor oil isn't just for breakfast anymore. Just ask the folks

at Jayant Oil Mills Group of Bombay, who host an extremely

informative " http://www.clubindia.com/jayant/uses.htm " praising the

mutiple-purpose liquid. To quote:

It is somewhat difficult to imagine that, barely a few decades ago,

castor oil was valued chiefly as a purgative. Who would have then

anticipated the commercial respectability it would attain and the

national and international demand it would come to enjoy?

This once dreaded substance is now used in plastics, textiles,

paints, cosmetics, and a number of inks and industrial adhesives. The

site goes on to explain that one reason for the current popularity of

castor oil is due to the fact that its numerous chemical derivatives

are " renewable sources, bio-degradable and eco-friendly. "

That said, we still hope you never have to drink it.
