VitaSanum®- Senna (Cassia angustifolia) 150 mg 100 capsules VitaSanum® Senna is an herb obtained from the leaves and fruits of various Cassia species and is often used in dietary supplements as well as in some teas and laxatives. It is known for its laxative effect, which is caused by the sennosides it contains. These act in the large intestine by increasing fluid secretion and stimulating intestinal movements, which facilitates bowel emptying. In addition to its primary function as a natural laxative, there are other potential benefits of senna, although it should be noted that long-term safety and effectiveness require further research: Effective treatment of constipation: Senna is approved by the U.s. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a non-prescription laxative for the short-term treatment of constipation. It can help normalize bowel movements and facilitate bowel movements. Aids weight loss: Some people use senna to aid detox and weight loss programs because its laxative effects can temporarily lead to a lower weight on the scale. However, it is important to emphasize that this is not a healthy or sustainable way to lose weight. Preparing for medical examinations: Senna can be used in preparation for certain medical examinations such as colonoscopies to cleanse the colon and improve visibility. Potential antioxidant properties: Some studies suggest that senna may have antioxidant properties that help neutralize harmful free radicals. However, these properties require further research to fully understand their effects and health benefits. Contraindication: It is important to exercise caution when using Senna as long-term or excessive use can lead to several health problems including electrolyte imbalance, intestinal sluggishness, and possibly liver damage. It is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before taking Senna or any other dietary supplement, especially if you have any existing health problems or are taking other medications.
