HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Triphala by Herbal Secrets
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This product contains three active ingredients: organic amla fruit powder, organic bibhitaki fruit powder, and organic haritaki fruit powder — the three fruits that make up triphala, a traditional Ayurvedic blend. These are the medicinal components you're taking the supplement for.
The only inactive ingredient listed is organic triphala powder itself, which is a carrier or filler material.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
Amla fruit powder has possibly effective evidence for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fat levels). For high cholesterol and male-pattern hair loss, the evidence is insufficient — we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works.
We hold no effectiveness data for the other two ingredients in this blend.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Amla fruit powder is generally well tolerated as a food, but safety at supplement doses is less studied. A small number of trial participants reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, one reported fatigue, and three reported musculoskeletal pain.
Safety data during pregnancy is too limited to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or planning to be. There isn't enough reliable safety information for breastfeeding; discuss this with your healthcare provider if you're nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before starting Organic Triphala, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, dabigatran, or apixaban), aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), or any diabetes medication. Amla fruit powder can increase bleeding risk and lower blood sugar, so dose adjustments might be needed.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Organic Triphala may be worth considering if you have reflux or high triglycerides and want to explore a traditional option. If you take any blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, aspirin, or diabetes medications, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first — amla can affect how these work.
This isn't medical advice; your own healthcare provider can weigh whether it fits your situation.

Organic Triphala by Herbal Secrets Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Organic Triphala by Herbal Secrets contains amla fruit powder, which has documented interactions with several medication types.
The most serious concern is a moderate-severity risk of bleeding when combined with blood thinners (anticoagulants), antiplatelet drugs, aspirin, or clopidogrel (Plavix) — amla may reduce how quickly your blood clots.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Amla fruit powder also interacts moderately with diabetes medications. It can lower blood sugar on its own, so taking it alongside diabetes drugs might push your glucose too low and require a dose adjustment to your medication.
We couldn't check two of the three active ingredients — organic bibhitaki fruit powder and organic haritaki fruit powder — because we hold no data for them. Before you start, run your exact medications through the search tool on this page, and talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any blood thinners, antiplatelet agents, or diabetes medications.

organic Amla fruit powder
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with clopidogrel 75 mg or ecosprin 75 mg, as a single dose or for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with clopidogrel 75 mg or ecosprin 75 mg alone. Until more is known, use caution when taking Indian gooseberry in combination with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Taking Indian gooseberry with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry fruit or fruit extract alone or in conjunction with antidiabetes medications can lower blood glucose levels. Dose adjustments to diabetes medications might be necessary.
Aspirin
Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with aspirin; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking a single dose of Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with ecosprin 75 mg, or taking a combination of Indian gooseberry 500 mg twice daily plus ecosprin 75 mg once daily for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with ecosprin 75 mg alone.
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with clopidogrel; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking a single dose of Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with clopidogrel 75 mg, or taking a combination of Indian gooseberry 500 mg twice daily plus clopidogrel 75 mg once daily for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with clopidogrel 75 mg alone.
