Major Senna 8.6 mg Laxante Natural Vegetal - 100 Comprimidos

What makes this natural senna laxative special?

When occasional constipation disrupts your rhythm, you need a reliable and natural solution. Major Senna 8.6 mg combines traditional herbal medicine with the efficacy of sennosides, active ingredients from the Cassia angustifolia plant. Each tablet offers a precise dose to help restore bowel regularity without startling effects. Its stimulating action on the colon produces a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours, allowing you to plan the timing with peace of mind.

What types of laxatives are there?

Understanding the differences between laxatives helps you choose the most appropriate one. The main types are:

• Osmotic laxatives: retain water in the intestine to soften stools (e.g., lactulose).
• Stimulant laxatives: act on the nerves of the colon to increase intestinal movement. Senna belongs to this group.
• Bulk-forming laxatives: fiber that absorbs water and increases fecal volume (e.g., psyllium).
• Lubricant laxatives: coat stools to facilitate their passage (e.g., mineral oil).

Stimulant laxatives like senna are particularly useful when rapid and predictable relief is needed.

Key ingredients: sennosides 8.6 mg

The active ingredient in Major Senna is sennosides, natural compounds that are transformed in the colon into substances that stimulate intestinal contractions. Each tablet contains 8.6 mg of sennosides, a standard dose backed by decades of use. Unlike other laxatives, sennosides act directly on the intestinal mucosa, providing a localized and effective effect. They are well tolerated when used as directed.

How to choose the right laxative?

For occasional constipation, a stimulant laxative like Major Senna is a practical option. Its tablet format facilitates dosing and storage. The fast action (6-12 hours) allows it to be taken at night and expect a bowel movement in the morning. However, if you prefer a more gradual approach, bulk-forming laxatives can be alternatives. It is always advisable to start with the lowest dose and increase if necessary, without exceeding the instructions on the package.
