Sennidin A (CAT: I016754) is a natural compound derived from the Senna plant, commonly known as Cassia Angustifolia. It belongs to a class of compounds called anthraquinones and is known for its laxative properties. Sennidin A acts by stimulating bowel movements and promoting intestinal contractions, which helps alleviate constipation. It is often used in the formulation of herbal laxatives and over-the-counter products for relieving occasional or short-term constipation. Sennidin A’s mechanism of action involves increasing water content in the intestines, softening stool consistency, and facilitating its passage through the digestive system.
