Preparations
Senna leaves and senna pods can be prepared in a variety of ways for medicinal use.  Studies have shown that the leaves contain more of the active ingredients, the sennosides, than the pods.  Senna is often prepared as an ingredient in teas, or mixed with fruit, as it is in Nu-Lax.
The recommended therapeutic dose of dried leaf is approximately 0.6g - 2.0g per day.  A single (10g) dose of Nu-Lax contains just 0.8g (8%) as the smallest dose that is effective is best.
