What consumers are saying about SENOKOT^®

Recommended by my doctor years ago and I have used it ever since, when necessary.

Get Poopin'

This product is the best. I get so constipated at times and I wanted a way to relieve it without the uncomfortable pain caused by other laxatives. It literally just feels like a regular bowel movement and my stomach does not get upset from taking the pill. I love it!

Excellent product. It works gently to help you unclog your system, without causing gas.

Good natural source laxative that gently relieves constipation. No sudden urges, I usually use it over 12 hours and I am back to normal.

They work! Having them on hand is an enormous relief. Buying the box of 100 was an impulse, but now I'm glad that I did. The bottle is small and the pills are also small which makes them easy to swallow and great for traveling. Best of all, they get the job done easily and gently.

I suffer from constipation and usually go poop once every few days. I tried this laxative and it definitely worked overnight wonderfully. It has not given me any adverse side effects and is made with natural ingredients. The price is also decent so overall this is a good product I'll continue to occasionally use when I'm really backed up.

Thousands of years of traditional relief

About Senna

About Ginger

The senna plant has been used throughout history for gently relieving constipation; that’s why SENOKOT^® Tablets use natural senna.

What is senna?

Senna is a plant that’s been grown and harvested as a natural laxative for over 3,500 years. In modern times, the laxative effects of the senna plant have been identified as sennosides and are commonly used to treat constipation.

How does senna work?

The senna used in SENOKOT^® is extracted from the deseeded and dried pods of the Cassia Acutifolia Delile, otherwise known as Senna alexandrina. To ensure a standardized dose and consistent potency in every tablet, we only use the deseeded pods of the senna plant once they have been ground up into a fine standardized powder. The sennosides (or senna glycosides) found within the senna plant stimulate a series of comfortable wave-like contractions called peristalsis to help encourage bowel movements and to ease constipation. SENOKOT^® Tablets use natural senna. SENOKOT^®•S also contains a stool softener.

How can a stool softener help?

Stool softeners, like docusate sodium, help to draw water into the intestine, making it easier for hard, dry stools to pass through.

SENOKOT^® Ginger Relief contains ginger, traditionally used in herbal medicine to help relieve digestive upset and disturbance.

What is ginger?

Ginger is a plant with leafy stems and yellowish green flowers. The biological name for ginger is Zingiber officinale and it is native to China, Japan and India, but is now grown in parts of South America, Africa and the Middle East to be used in medicine and in food.
