Benefits of Senna Leaf Extract Powder

The active ingredient in Senna is called sennoside. This component molecule is converted by microbes in the colon into another substance, Rhein anthrone, which has a beneficial effect on stimulating colonic activity (which accelerates intestinal peristalsis and improves digestion) and increases fluid secretion. The laxative effect of sennoside and its active metabolite Rhein anthrone are thought to inhibit the absorption of water and electrolyte by the large intestine, thus increasing the volume and pressure of intestinal contents. It will stimulate the propulsive tightening movement of the colon. In addition, the stimulating effect on the secretion of active chloride increased the content of intestinal water and electrolyte. These changes in the transport of active electrolyte depend on the calcium on the surface of the plasma membrane. The laxative effect of sennoside is partly through the stimulation of colonic fluid and electrolyte secretion, and this secretion ability is regulated by the stimulation of endogenous prostaglandin formation. Sennoside can be prepared as enema or suppository or mixed with stool softener or lump fiber laxative to form a combined laxative.
