Introduction to Calcium Sennoside
In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, digestive issues like constipation are increasingly common. Calcium sennoside, a natural laxative derived from the Cassia angustifolia plant (Senna), offers a gentle, effective, and plant-based solution to this widespread issue.
Botanical Source: Cassia angustifolia
Known for its rich sennoside content, Cassia angustifolia has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. The dried leaves and pods of this plant are the primary source of sennoside A and B, the active glycosides in calcium sennoside formulations.
How Calcium Sennoside Works as a Laxative
Calcium sennoside stimulates peristaltic movement in the intestines by irritating the mucosal lining. This enhances water retention in the bowel, softens stools, and ensures easier evacuation without chemical dependency — making it ideal for short-term constipation relief.
Clinical Applications and Dosage
Commonly found in both OTC laxatives and prescribed herbal medications, calcium sennoside is used in:
Pre-surgical bowel emptying
Constipation caused by medications
Gut-cleansing in detox therapies
Typical adult dosage ranges from 5–15 mg once daily, preferably at bedtime.
Safety, Side Effects, and Precautions
Although generally safe, overuse can lead to:
Electrolyte imbalance
Abdominal cramps
Dependency in chronic users
It should be avoided during pregnancy, in children under 12, or in patients with gastrointestinal obstruction.
