What does it do?

Senna and senna fruit methanol dry extract is an ingredient extracted from the fruit of the senna plant, belonging to the category of plant-based laxatives. This ingredient is used in pharmaceuticals to promote intestinal motility and assist with defecation.

This ingredient stimulates intestinal motility in the intestines, helping stool pass quickly through the bowel. It also draws moisture into the bowel wall, softening the stool for easier defecation.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike other laxatives, senna is a natural ingredient derived from plants and is characterized by its ability to directly stimulate intestinal motility. Consequently, its effects appear relatively quickly, but caution is advisable due to the risk of decreased bowel function with prolonged use.
