What is Senna Leaf Extract powder?
Senna leaf extract powder is the active ingredient extracted from the small leaves of the leguminous plants Senna narrow-leaf or Senna acute-leaf. Its main components are dianthraquinone glycosides (such as senna glycosides A, B, and C) and anthraquinone compounds. Its laxative effect mainly stems from the fact that senna glycosides are metabolized by colonic microorganisms into anthranones of rhein, which stimulate intestinal contractions and inhibit water absorption. This extract is used in medicines and health products for short-term constipation relief, and the dosage must be strictly controlled. Modern research has also found that it has a regulatory effect on colonic protein expression.
