Senna Leaf Extract

Also Knows as: Calcium Sennosides

Senna plants belong to the legume family (Caesalpiniaceae). The fruit and leaves of the Senna herb are widely used in traditional and modern medicine. Native to the hot and dry regions of Africa and Asia, Senna is primarily known for its natural laxative effects and is commonly used to relieve constipation and prepare the bowel before procedures like colonoscopy.

The key active compounds in Senna are Calcium Sennosides, derived from sennosides A and B, which are powerful laxatives. These compounds work by stimulating bowel movements and are also beneficial for managing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hemorrhoids, anal fissures, post-anal surgery recovery, and even in weight management.

Senna contains anthranoid chemicals such as anthraquinones, anthrones, and dianthrones—natural compounds contributing to its therapeutic properties.

With nearly a decade of expertise, we have established ourselves as a trusted and consistent source for high-quality Senna extracts catering to both domestic and international markets.

Key Benefits

Effective Natural Laxative
Senna is an FDA-approved herbal remedy used to relieve constipation in adults and children over the age of two. It works by stimulating bowel movements naturally.
Enhanced Relief with Combinations

For improved results, senna is often combined with psyllium or docusate sodium, offering a more effective and gentle solution for managing constipation.
Diagnostic Bowel Cleansing

Senna is commonly used for bowel preparation before diagnostic procedures. Taken orally, it is as effective as traditional agents like castor oil and bisacodyl.
Enhanced Colonoscopy Prep

For colonoscopy, a combination of senna with sodium picosulfate and polyethylene glycol has shown better results than sodium phosphate alone.

Post-Surgical Support
Senna helps ease bowel movements after anal or rectal surgery, reducing strain and supporting smooth post-operative recovery.
Anal Fissure Relief
By softening the stool, senna reduces pain and promotes healing in individuals suffering from anal fissures.
Hemorrhoid Management
Regular use of senna prevents hard stools, easing the discomfort and inflammation associated with hemorrhoids (piles).
IBS Symptom Relief
Senna aids in improving bowel regularity and helps relieve constipation-related symptoms in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Natural Detox and Weight Support
Senna acts as a gentle cleanser that supports short-term weight loss by reducing bloating and flushing out waste naturally.
