HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Triphala Tablets by Pure Indian Foods

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

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (800 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This tablet contains three active ingredients: Amla (Indian gooseberry), Haritaki (a Terminalia species), and Bibhitaki — traditional Ayurvedic fruits bundled in what the label calls a Proprietary Blend. The only other ingredient listed is gum acacia, an inactive binder.

Triphala is a classical combination in Ayurvedic practice, and these three fruits are meant to work together for digestive and general wellness support.

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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Balances and supports overall well-being.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyslipidemia, Hypercholesterolemia, Hyperlipidemia, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Coronary heart disease (CHD), Heart failure — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Indian Gooseberry is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dyslipidemia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Indian Gooseberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Diabetes, Hypercholesterolemia, Hypertension, and more.
  • Also on file: Terminalia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Angina.

For Amla, the evidence shows it is possibly effective for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — that burning chest sensation from stomach acid — and possibly effective for dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fat levels). For androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss) and hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate it.

For Haritaki, the evidence for obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia (high blood fats), and angina (chest pain) is all insufficient to rate. We hold no effectiveness data for Bibhitaki.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Indian Gooseberry Terminalia

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 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Amla is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety at higher doses is less studied. The safety data advises against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information.

In clinical trials, a small number of participants reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, one reported fatigue, and three reported musculoskeletal pain. Haritaki is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, but long-term safety and product quality vary widely.

Like Amla, the safety data advises against Haritaki during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We hold no adverse-effect data for Haritaki in the trials we reviewed, and we have no safety information on file for Bibhitaki.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Indian Gooseberry Terminalia

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Indian Gooseberry, Terminalia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 934 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 taking Organic Triphala, double-check any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs you take (aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin, and others) — Moderate risk of increased bleeding. Also check diabetes medications — Moderate risk of low blood sugar.

If you take any medication metabolized by your liver's CYP3A4, CYP2D6, or CYP2C9 enzymes, that's Moderate risk as well. And if you take chlorzoxazone (muscle relaxant) or omeprazole (acid reflux), flag those too.

Use the medication search tool on this page to verify your exact prescriptions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or any prescription that's processed through your liver, you need to check this product with your pharmacist or doctor first — the interaction list is long. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data advises against it.

For general GERD or cholesterol support, Amla shows some promise, but talk to us before you start.

Haritaki7 drug types · 933 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of Terminalia arjuna with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs may increase the risk of bleeding in some patients.
In vitro, Terminalia arjuna bark extract inhibits platelet aggregation, decreases platelet activation, and shows antithrombotic properties.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of Terminalia bellirica or Terminalia chebula with antidiabetes drugs could affect blood sugar control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal and in vitro research shows that Terminalia bellirica and Terminalia chebula fruit and seed extract have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex)

Theoretically, use of Terminalia chebula may increase the risk of adverse effects from chlorzoxazone.
Animal research shows that enteral administration of Terminalia chebula for 15 days prior to administration of chlorzoxazone increases blood levels of chlorzoxazone and decreases chlorzoxazone clearance. It is speculated that Terminalia chebula reduces the metabolism of chlorzoxazone by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2E1.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP2C9 enzymes and reduces CYP2C9 substrate metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP2D6 enzymes and reduces CYP2D6 substrate metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes and reduces CYP3A4 substrate metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Omeprazole (Prilosec)

Theoretically, use of Terminalia chebula may increase the risk of adverse effects from omeprazole.
Animal research shows that enteral administration of Terminalia chebula for 15 days prior to administration of omeprazole increases blood levels of omeprazole and decreases omeprazole clearance. It is speculated that Terminalia chebula reduces the metabolism of omeprazole by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2C19.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Amla4 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 Tablets by Pure Indian Foods: Common Questions

Does Organic Triphala Tablets by Pure Indian Foods interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Triphala Tablets has a known interaction with 933 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Triphala Tablets 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.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin or another blood thinner?
Not without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first. Both Amla and Haritaki in this product may increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners — that's a Moderate concern. Your provider may need to monitor you more closely or adjust your dose.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it during both pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient information. If you're considering it, talk with your OB or midwife.
What's in this blend?
Three traditional Ayurvedic fruits — Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki — plus gum acacia as a binder. We could not check Bibhitaki for drug interactions because we hold no data for it.
Does Amla really help with acid reflux?
The evidence suggests it may help — it's rated possibly effective for GERD. But that doesn't mean it'll work for everyone, and you'll want to pair it with whatever your doctor recommends.
Are there any reported side effects?
In trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, one reported fatigue, and three reported muscle or joint pain. Most people tolerate it well, but if you develop those symptoms, let us know.
Will this interfere with my diabetes medications?
Possibly — both Amla and Haritaki may lower blood sugar further, raising the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, and monitor your blood sugar closely.
