What does it do?

Senna fruit powder is a natural laxative ingredient made from the dried fruit of the Senna plant. It is primarily used for treating constipation and helps facilitate bowel movements by promoting intestinal motility. It is also used to relieve symptoms of constipation or difficulty in bowel movements.

Senna fruit powder stimulates bowel activity in the intestines, helping stool to pass quickly through the bowel. This leads to smoother bowel movements and improvement of constipation symptoms. Additionally, it acts on the intestinal mucosa to increase moisture secretion, making the stool softer.
