Senna Leaf and Its Traditional Use for Digestive Support*

What Is Senna and Its Role in Digestive Health*

Senna (Cassia angustifolia) is a small shrub from the Fabaceae family, characterized by its elongated, oval-shaped leaves with 3-6 leaflets. It is primarily cultivated in India.

Traditionally recognized since ancient Egyptian times, senna leaves have been used to support digestive health and promote intestinal function.* They are known for their fast-acting, natural support for occasional constipation relief.*

The World Health Organization (WHO), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy (ESCOP) recognize senna as a short-term option for occasional constipation relief.*

How Does Senna Leaf Support Digestive Regularity?*

Senna contains sennosides A and B, natural compounds classified as anthracene derivatives.

Once metabolized by gut bacteria, sennosides release active anthraquinones, which exert a two-fold effect:*

• They stimulate the muscles of the intestinal wall, enhancing peristaltic contractions that move digestive contents toward the rectum.*
• They reduce water absorption in digested food, helping to maintain softer stools for easier passage.*

These two mechanisms work together to support intestinal transit and promote natural, effective bowel movements.*

Three Key Benefits of SennaLax*

Our senna leaf tablets stand out in three key ways:*

1. Sennagex® extract: SennaLax contains Sennagex®, a recognized senna leaf extract (Cassia angustifolia) standardized to 20% sennosides for consistent potency and safe use.* Each serving of three tablets provides an optimal daily dose of 50 mg.
2. Enhanced with magnesium citrate: This formula includes magnesium citrate, which contributes to normal muscle function, including the muscles involved in intestinal motility.* Magnesium citrate is known for its excellent bioavailability and ability to draw water into the intestines, helping to naturally soften stools.* It is also commonly used at higher doses for colon cleansing before medical procedures.
3. Free from emodin and aloe-emodin: SennaLax complies with European safety regulations by ensuring zero emodin or aloe-emodin.* These compounds, known for their overly strong laxative effects, have been restricted to protect consumer health.*
