About this ingredient
Senna Leaf is a botanical ingredient obtained from senna plants, particularly Senna alexandrina and related species. The leaves naturally contain compounds called sennosides, which have stimulant laxative properties. Senna is traditionally and commonly used for short-term support of bowel movements and occasional constipation. Because prolonged or excessive use may cause dependence or electrolyte disturbances, senna products should generally be used according to label directions and for short periods.
