NOW Foods Castor Oil
★★★★★— Jonas V.I bought this product because I have had constipation since starting weight-loss medication that slows digestion. The capsules were easy to swallow, and the castor oil was of very good quality—exactly what you would expect from this brand. I would recommend it to anyone experiencing problems with gastric emptying, bowel cleansing, bowel function or chronic constipation.

Description
Product overview
NOW Foods Castor Oil is a product containing castor oil and fennel oil, supplied in a pack of 120 capsules. It is listed in the healthy oils category and may be a practical option if you prefer a portioned product to a bottle of oil. According to the product information, the daily serving contains 1,300 mg of castor oil and 20 mg of fennel oil. Check the dosage information on the packaging to see how a daily serving is defined.
NOW Foods is the brand behind the product. The available product information identifies the brand but does not provide further details about the company's history, country of manufacture or specific manufacturing methods. We therefore do not attribute certifications or quality procedures to the product unless these are stated in the source information. What can be said is that the contents and serving information are provided for those who wish to compare the product's composition with other options.
What distinguishes this product is its combination of castor oil and a smaller amount of fennel oil in a pack of 120 capsules. It may suit those looking for an oil-based supplement in a format that is easy to take with them, for example in everyday life or when travelling. The available product information does not specify any particular effects or uses, so follow the label instructions and choose the product based on its contents and format.
Active ingredients & science
The two oils listed in the product information are castor oil and fennel oil. The stated amounts per daily serving are 1,300 mg of castor oil and 20 mg of fennel oil. Total fat is also listed as 1 g and trans fat as 0 g. These details describe the contents but do not in themselves make any claim about a health effect.
Castor oil is an oil, and fennel oil is also listed in oil form. The source information does not specify the oils' chemical profiles, production methods, standardisation or bioavailability. It is therefore not possible to state a specific chemical form beyond the ingredients being listed as oils, or to compare their absorption. For a complete assessment of the contents and any excipients, read the current label. The ingredient table provides the available quantity information and should not be interpreted as a recommendation for use.
Benefits & uses
The product's practical features relate primarily to its contents, serving format and pack size. As the source information does not specify a particular use, it is sensible to choose it according to your own preferences and follow the label instructions.
- For those who prefer capsules: The product is supplied in capsule form, which may be a convenient alternative to handling oil directly from a bottle.
- For a planned routine: The information on contents per daily serving makes it easier to read the label and compare quantities with other products.
- For those looking for castor oil as an ingredient: Castor oil is clearly listed in the product composition, with the amount per daily serving stated.
- For those who appreciate a combination of oils: The product also contains fennel oil. Check the label for more information about the full contents.
- For travel and days on the go: A pack of 120 capsules may be easier to pack than a bottle, provided the format suits your needs.
- For careful comparisons of contents: The amounts of castor oil and fennel oil are stated, making it easier to compare product labels.
These points describe the format and contents, not medical or physiological effects. If you are seeking help with a health concern or have questions about how the product fits your circumstances, consult a healthcare professional or pharmacist before use.
Use & dosage
The exact dosage instructions are not provided in the available product information. Check the packaging for the recommended dose, serving size and instructions. The contents table states the amounts per daily serving, but it does not replace the label instructions on how to take the daily serving.
There is also no information here about the best time to take the product, whether it should be taken with food or whether it can be combined with other supplements. Follow the label and do not change the stated dosage yourself. If you take medicines, use several food supplements or have questions about possible combinations, ask a pharmacist or healthcare professional for advice. Store and handle the product according to the instructions on the packaging.
Quality & manufacturing
The product information identifies NOW Foods as the brand and states that the pack contains 120 capsules. It also lists the amounts of castor oil and fennel oil per daily serving. However, the source information contains no verifiable details about manufacturing standards, country of origin, certifications, laboratory testing, raw material origins or specific purity checks. We therefore cannot describe these characteristics as confirmed for this particular product.
For a complete picture of quality and handling, check the label and any additional information from the manufacturer. This may include details about ingredients beyond those summarised here, capsule material, allergens, storage and best-before date. Also check that the seal and labelling are intact when you receive the product. A clear ingredient declaration is useful when comparing products, but it does not replace information about manufacturing or independent testing.
Who is the product suitable for?
The product may be of interest to adults looking for a capsule containing castor oil and fennel oil and wishing to compare its contents with their own preferences. It may also suit people who prefer a portioned format to liquid oil. The available information does not specify a particular target group or age recommendation, so check the packaging before use and do not give the product to children without professional guidance.
The source information contains no specific warnings about pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergens or medicine interactions. This does not mean that the product is automatically suitable in these situations. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a medical condition, take medicines or are unsure whether an ingredient is suitable for you, consult a healthcare professional before use. Read the full ingredient list on the packaging to check for any allergens and excipients, as these are not fully listed in the product information provided here.
Summary
NOW Foods Castor Oil combines castor oil and fennel oil in a pack of 120 capsules. The product information states that each daily serving contains 1,300 mg of castor oil and 20 mg of fennel oil, along with details on total fat and trans fat. This makes it possible to assess the product based on its contents and format, without attributing effects that are not stated in the source information.
Choose it if you are looking for these oils in capsule form and appreciate having the quantities stated. Always read the label for dosage, the full ingredient list, warnings and storage advice.
