These bioactive compounds promote intestinal movement, easing occasional constipation and supporting regularity. Senna is also valued for its role in relieving bloating and optimizing nutrient absorption. Traditionally used in herbal practices, it remains a trusted option for maintaining gut health. This plant-based extract continues to be a key choice for digestive wellness regimens.
