Product Description
FitTree's Premium Senna Pods (botanical name: Cassia Angustifolia) are sourced from the semi-arid regions of India, renowned for producing the world’s highest quality sennoside content. Often referred to as Tinnevelly Senna or Alexandrian Senna, these dried pods are a staple in the global pharmaceutical, herbal tea, and nutraceutical industries. Known as a powerful natural herbal laxative, our Senna pods are machine-cleaned and hand-picked to ensure maximum purity and potency.
At Fittree International, we ensure rigorous selection standards. Our pods are available in various grades, including hand-picked whole pods that are visually pristine. Whether intended for direct retail packaging, use in "slimming teas," or extraction for pharmaceutical syrups, our Senna Pods provide a gentle yet effective solution for digestive health with a focus on consumer comfort.
