Description
Senna, also known as Cassia angustifolia, is a plant commonly found in India, as well as other parts of Africa and the Middle East. Senna extract is typically obtained from the leaves of the Senna plant.
The extraction of Senna can be done through various methods, such as water extraction or solvent extraction, depending on the desired properties of the extract. Typically, the leaves of the plant are dried and then processed to extract the active ingredients, including sennosides A and B.
Senna extract is commonly used as a natural laxative to treat constipation and promote bowel movements. It works by stimulating the muscles of the intestines, increasing the amount of water in the intestines, and speeding up the movement of stool through the colon.
The appropriate dosage of Senna extract can vary depending on the specific product being used and the individual’s health status. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen. Typically, a dosage of 20-30 mg of Senna extract per day is recommended for the treatment of constipation. However, it is important to note that prolonged or excessive use of Senna extract can lead to digestive issues and electrolyte imbalances.
