💡 Product Introduction
Our Senna Extract 10:1 is a highly concentrated botanical powder derived from the dried leaves of Cassia angustifolia (also known as Senna alexandrina), a plant widely recognized for its natural laxative properties. Through a controlled water-based extraction process followed by concentration and spray drying, we produce a fine, dark brown powder with a characteristic odor and taste. The "10:1" ratio means that 1 kg of this extract is equivalent to 10 kg of raw senna leaves, offering significant potency and convenience for formulation. Each batch is thoroughly tested for purity, heavy metals, microbial limits, and the content of active sennosides to ensure consistent quality.
