Description

Senna leaf extract is a natural herbal ingredient extracted from senna leaf. Senna is an herb that grows in Africa, India and other parts of the world. The main bioactive compounds present in senna leaves are sennosides. Sennosides stimulate the lining of the bowel and cause a laxative effect. For this reason, senna leaves and fruits have been used for centuries as a folk remedy for constipation.
