Product Overview: Senna Leaf Extract
Senna is a shrub that grows to approximately two feet tall, featuring green stems, pods, and yellow spade-shaped leaves. Its alternate evergreen leaves consist of four to five pairs of lanceolate or obovate gray-green fragile leaflets. Both the leaves and pods (fruits) of the senna plant have medicinal applications, and our Senna Leaf Extract is specifically derived from the high-quality leaves of senna, refined through professional extraction technology to retain core bioactive components.
Core Active Components of Senna Leaf Extract
The leaves of narrowleaf senna (a key source of the extract) contain sennoside C, a rhubarbic acid-rutinoside-dianthrone-8,8′-diglucoside. Senna pods, in addition to sennosides A and B, contain glucosides of rhubarbic acid and rhubarbol, as well as traces of ruthene rhubarbol or rhubarbol glucoside.
The leaves and pods of Senna acuminata (another important source) contain 0.85-2.86% and 2.34-3.16% of anthracene constituents respectively. From these anthracene components, rhubarbic acid, ruthene rhubarbol, a small amount of rhubarb phenol, and key senna glucosides (such as sennosides A, B, and C) are isolated—all of these anthracene components exist in the form of glycosides, which are the core active substances of the extract.
Additionally, the senna plant contains 3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid. The genus Senna is rich in tannins, the leaves are abundant in sennosides, and the bark contains polyphenol oxidase—these components are fully retained in our extract to ensure comprehensive efficacy.
Core Functions & Efficacy of Senna Leaf Extract
1. Efficacious in Treating Gastric & Duodenal Bleeding
Senna Leaf Extract exhibits significant efficacy in the prevention and treatment of gastric and duodenal bleeding. Clinical observations show that immediate hemostasis is achieved under direct vision when Senna Leaf Extract is sprayed on gastric bleeding sites during gastroscopy.
Oral administration of Senna Leaf Extract can increase platelet count and fibrinogen content, while shortening clotting time, prothrombin time, plasma recalcification time, and clot contraction time—comprehensively enhancing the body’s hemostatic capacity. Furthermore, the extract has a protective effect on hydrochloric acid-induced gastric mucosal injury in rats and exerts anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, which further assist in the prevention and treatment of gastric and duodenal bleeding.
2. Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Effects
Senna Leaf Extract exerts inhibitory effects on a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi. It is effective against bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Shigella dysenteriae, and Group A Streptococcus. Additionally, it can inhibit Candida albicans and certain pathogenic skin fungi, making it a potential natural raw material for antibacterial products.
