Trusted to Bring Out the #2 in You
For over 60 years, SENOKOT® has been helping people find gentle, overnight relief from occasional constipation. SENOKOT® Laxatives are made with natural senna — a shrub-like plant whose leaves and pods have been used for centuries in the East and West as a laxative. This property of senna was first described in the ninth century by Arabian physicians in the service of the caliph of Baghdad and it has been used as a laxative ever since.
Today, SENOKOT® is proud to be a trusted laxative among Canadian shoppers and our products are proudly made in Canada.
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® products 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 peristalsis, a series of comfortable wave-like contractions, to help encourage bowel movements and to ease constipation. SENOKOT® tablets use natural senna and SENOKOT®•S also contains a stool softener.

Trusted Support
Doctors recommend SENOKOT® for natural and gentle relief of occasional constipation.
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!”
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.”
