SennaLax is a senna leaf supplement featuring an extract of Cassia angustifolia leaves, carefully standardized for 20% sennosides – the plant’s naturally occurring active compounds.*
This fast-acting, plant-based formula is designed to help support occasional constipation relief in a gentle and effective way.*
Part of our Gastrointestinal Health category, SennaLax is crafted to align with modern needs for gut support while drawing from time-honored herbal traditions.*
Senna Leaf and Digestive Comfort*
What is Senna?*
Senna, a small shrub native to India from the Fabaceae family is characterized by elongated, oval-shaped leaves with 3 to 6 leaflets.*
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy (ESCOP), senna is recognized as a short-term option for occasional constipation relief.*
How May Senna Leaf Support Digestive Regularity?*
Potentially used since ancient Egyptian times, senna seems to have been appreciated for supporting digestive regularity and intestinal function.* Its leaves – that could have a fast-acting and natural support for constipation relief – appear to be rich in sennosides A and B, compounds that may promote intestinal movement when metabolized by the gut microbiota.*
The active components may work in two complementary ways:*
- They might increase natural motility: sennosides may gently stimulate the muscles of the intestinal wall, potentially enhancing peristaltic contractions and hence encouraging regular transit.*
- They could soften stool consistency: by possibly supporting water retention in digested material, they may help maintain stool softness and ease of passage.*
This dual-action mechanism might help support intestinal transit and promote natural, effective bowel movements to potentially help you feel lighter and more balanced.*
3 Potential Key Benefits of SennaLax*
Our senna leaf tablets feature 3 main characteristics, potentially making it a good supplement choice:*
- Sennagex® extract: SennaLax features a standardized extract of senna leaf (Cassia angustifolia) containing 20% sennosides for potentially reliable quality and consistent support.* Each serving of three tablets should deliver a targeted dose of 50 mg of sennosides.
- Magnesium citrate: this mineral may support normal muscle function in the digestive tract.* Possibly known for its high bioavailability, magnesium citrate could also help maintain healthy intestinal hydration by drawing water into the intestines, potentially promoting stool softness through a gentle osmotic effect.*
- Clean, focused formula: this supplement is carefully crafted without emodin or aloe-emodin, to align with European quality standards.* The formula is designed for a well-balanced, gentle experience made to prioritize digestive wellness.*
