Senna+ tablets 500mg N40 – Green side

What the product is

GREEN SIDE SENNA+ is a herbal food supplement. Its tablets combine two well-known plant-based ingredients — senna leaves and additional botanical components. In English it is known as a senna leaf supplement: compact 500 mg tablets, 40 pieces per pack, intended for short-term use when digestion needs gentle support.

Key components and how they work

The main active plant is senna (Cassia angustifolia or Cassia senna), a shrub used in traditional herbal practice for centuries, originating in North Africa and the Middle East. Senna leaves naturally contain compounds called sennosides — plant glycosides that, once they reach the large intestine, are transformed by gut bacteria into active forms.

• Senna leaf: source of sennosides, a classical herbal ingredient in the laxative category.
• "+" in the name: refers to additional botanical ingredients commonly paired with senna to soften its action and balance the effect on the digestive tract.

These compounds activate the muscles of the colon wall and slightly increase the amount of water staying inside the intestine, which makes the contents softer and easier to move along. This is why senna is traditionally classified as a stimulant laxative herb.

When people choose it

The tablet form is convenient because the dose is fixed at 500 mg per piece, so it is easy to start with a small amount and adjust according to how your body responds. People typically reach for a senna-based supplement during short episodes of sluggish digestion.

• After travel
• After a heavy or unusual diet
• When the rhythm of the gut has been temporarily disturbed
• Occasional slow transit
• Sedentary periods
• Low-fibre meals

How it fits in

• Form: tablets, 500 mg, 40 pieces per pack — enough for a short course.
• When taken: usually in the evening, so the effect develops overnight.
• Tip: plenty of water during the day helps the herb work gently.

Important to know

Senna is intended only for short-term use — generally no longer than one to two weeks in a row. Prolonged or frequent use may lead the bowel to become dependent on stimulation and may disturb the balance of fluids and minerals such as potassium.

• Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Not suitable for children
• Not suitable for people with intestinal obstruction, inflammatory bowel conditions, abdominal pain of unknown origin or dehydration
• If you take medicines (especially diuretics, heart glycosides or corticosteroids), consult a pharmacist or doctor before starting

A food supplement does not replace a varied diet, sufficient fibre, movement and adequate fluid intake — these remain the foundation of healthy digestion.
