Pharmacology
The laxative effect of Psyllium Fiber & Senna Extract is documented for both of its parts: Psyllium, which is Ispaghula husk powder (Plantago ovata), and standardized Senna extract (Cassia angustifolia). One spoonful of the powder mixed with water makes an orange coloured, flavoured drink. Psyllium is a bulk-forming laxative and contains mucilage. Senna extract is a stimulant laxative and contains hydroxyanthracene glycosides (as Sennoside B). Together they help relieve constipation and bring the bowel action back to normal. The two partners in the combination add to each other's effect.
This special combination speeds up the passage through the intestine and increases water absorption, which raises the filling pressure. For patients with haemorrhoids (piles), rectal surgery or colon cancer, Psyllium Fiber & Senna Extract helps reduce pain by making evacuation easy with a soft stool. It also has a soothing effect on the gastric and intestinal mucosa, gastric irritation and ulceration, and it helps maintain serum cholesterol and blood glucose level.
