HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Triphala 1,500 mg by InnovaPharm Essentials

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

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.
  • “Triphala Fruit Extract” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1.50 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

This supplement contains three active ingredients, each a plant fruit extract. Amla fruit extract (also called Indian gooseberry) and belleric myrobalan fruit extract are two of the three fruits in triphala, a traditional Ayurvedic blend.

The product also includes tropical almond fruit extract. Two inactive ingredients — vegetable capsule and magnesium stearate — serve as the capsule shell and flow agent.

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 its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients 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 ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Dyslipidemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Indian Gooseberry) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Indian Gooseberry) (Natural Medicines).

Evidence for amla fruit extract is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and possibly effective for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia), though the evidence is limited.

For hair loss (androgenic alopecia), the evidence is too thin to rate. For belleric myrobalan and tropical almond fruit extract, we hold no established effectiveness ratings in our data — the evidence base hasn't been developed well enough to say whether they work for any condition.

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 fruit extract is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement-dose safety is less studied. Safety data during pregnancy and breastfeeding are insufficient — the data we hold advises against use in both.

In clinical trials, a small number of participants reported stomach upset or indigestion, and one reported fatigue; three reported muscle or joint pain. Belleric myrobalan is generally well tolerated short-term in studies, but long-term safety varies by product.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety data are insufficient — the data we hold advises against use in both. We hold no adverse-effect data for tropical almond fruit extract.

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 this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, dabigatran, or clopidogrel), aspirin, diabetes medications, or any drugs metabolized by the liver — including many heart and psychiatric medications. The risk of bleeding and low blood sugar is Moderate, and liver-metabolism interactions may raise drug levels unexpectedly.

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 GERD or high cholesterol, though evidence is modest. The key caution is the bleeding risk if you're on blood thinners or take aspirin regularly, plus potential blood-sugar dips if you're on diabetes medications.

If you take any prescription drugs — especially heart, psychiatric, or diabetes medications — run them through the checker below or talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Belleric Myrobalan fruit extract7 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

Amla Fruit Extract4 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.

Triphala 1,500 mg by InnovaPharm Essentials: Common Questions

Does Triphala 1,500 mg by InnovaPharm Essentials interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Triphala 1,500 mg 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?
Triphala 1,500 mg 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 this raise my blood sugar or lower it?
Triphala may lower blood sugar through its amla and belleric myrobalan content. If you take diabetes medication, combining this product with your drugs could increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether a dose adjustment is needed.
Can I take this if I'm on aspirin or a blood thinner?
Both amla and belleric myrobalan may increase bleeding risk. Research shows amla reduces platelet clumping and lengthens bleeding time. If you're on aspirin, warfarin, or any other anticoagulant or antiplatelet drug, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — you may need closer monitoring.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The safety data we hold advise against use during both pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough reliable information. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you before or during pregnancy or lactation.
What's GERD and does amla really help it?
GERD is acid reflux — stomach acid backing up into your throat. Amla fruit extract is rated possibly effective for GERD based on clinical evidence, though the data are limited. It's not a cure, and you should still follow your doctor's advice.
Are there any fillers or extra stuff in here?
The product contains two inactive ingredients: the vegetable capsule itself and magnesium stearate, a flow agent that helps the powder move smoothly during filling. These are standard, and the active ingredients are just the three fruit extracts.
What side effects did people report in studies?
In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, one reported fatigue, and three reported muscle or joint pain. Serious side effects were not documented, though long-term safety data are sparse.
