HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Triphala Powder by Banyan Botanicals

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 3, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Organic Triphala Powder contains three active ingredients, all fruit powders: amalaki, bibhitaki, and haritaki. Together they make up the traditional Ayurvedic formula triphala.

There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Indian Gooseberry's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Indian Gooseberry for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Dyslipidemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Amalaki (Indian gooseberry) is possibly effective for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol and fat levels in the blood). For high cholesterol alone and for hair loss, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate it.

We have no effectiveness data for bibhitaki and haritaki.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Indian Gooseberry

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Amalaki is generally well tolerated as a food, but we have less safety study on it at supplement doses. During pregnancy, there isn't enough reliable safety data, so it's best to avoid it then.

During breastfeeding, there is too little reliable safety information — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you. In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, and one person each reported fatigue or musculoskeletal pain.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Indian Gooseberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 208 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before starting this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants), aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), or diabetes medications — amalaki may increase bleeding risk or lower blood sugar further, and dose changes might be needed. Altogether, these interactions span 208 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Triphala may help with heartburn or cholesterol, but amalaki's effects on blood clotting and blood sugar mean you should check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it, especially if you're on blood thinners, aspirin, or diabetes medications. Avoid it during pregnancy, and discuss it with your pharmacist if you're breastfeeding.

Amalaki fruit powder4 drug types · 208 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Organic Triphala Powder by Banyan Botanicals: Common Questions

Does Organic Triphala Powder by Banyan Botanicals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Triphala Powder has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Triphala Powder contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will Triphala help with my acid reflux or heartburn?
Amalaki, one of the three ingredients, is possibly effective for GERD — that's the evidence we hold. The other two ingredients don't have effectiveness data on file, so we can't say whether the full formula works better or differently than amalaki alone.
Can I take Triphala while I'm pregnant?
There isn't enough reliable safety data to recommend triphala during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's safe for you in your specific situation.
Is Triphala safe to take while breastfeeding?
There's too little reliable safety information during breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it to make sure it's right for you and your baby.
What are the side effects I might see?
In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or indigestion. One person reported fatigue, and three reported musculoskeletal pain — but these are rare.
Can I take this if I'm on blood thinners or take aspirin?
Amalaki may raise your bleeding risk if combined with blood thinners, aspirin, or clopidogrel. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product — your medication dose might need adjustment.
What happens if I take this with my diabetes medication?
Amalaki can lower blood sugar, so taking it with diabetes drugs increases the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Your doctor or pharmacist may need to adjust your diabetes medication dose.
