HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Triphala by Sun Potion

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 of organic Triphala extract” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1.25 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

Triphala contains three active ingredients: haritaki fruit extract, amalaki fruit extract (also called Indian gooseberry), and bibhitaki fruit extract — the last two make up a proprietary blend. These three fruits are traditional ingredients used together in Ayurvedic medicine.

The product has no other 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
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: digestion tonic.
  • We looked for evidence on: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), constipation, dysbiosis, digestive inflammation.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Indian Gooseberry is rated "Possibly Effective" for Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Indian Gooseberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The evidence we hold shows amalaki fruit extract is possibly effective for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, a form of acid reflux) and possibly effective for dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fat levels). For high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and hair loss (androgenic alopecia), the evidence is insufficient to rate — we don't have enough reliable data yet.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for haritaki or bibhitaki in our data.

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 fruit extract is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but supplement safety at higher doses has been less studied. The safety data advises against it during breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe.

In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or upset digestion, one person reported fatigue, and three reported musculoskeletal pain. We hold no pregnancy or lactation safety data on file for haritaki or bibhitaki.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Indian Gooseberry

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.

Check before starting if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants), aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), or diabetes medications — amalaki fruit extract may increase bleeding risk or lower blood sugar more than intended. Two ingredients in this product we could not check for interactions.

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.

Triphala may help with acid reflux and blood fat levels, but it can thin your blood and lower blood sugar — risky if you take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or aspirin. Before you start, check with your doctor or pharmacist about your exact medications and whether this product fits your health picture.

Amalaki 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.

Does Triphala by Sun Potion interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Triphala 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?
Triphala 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 pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it during breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information. For pregnancy, we hold no safety data on file for amalaki, and we have no data for the other two ingredients. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to decide what's right for your situation.
What is amalaki fruit extract used for?
Amalaki (Indian gooseberry) is possibly effective for acid reflux (GERD) and abnormal blood fat levels (dyslipidemia). It's one of three fruits traditionally combined in Triphala.
Does this product have fillers or other inactive ingredients?
No inactive ingredients are listed for this product — it's just the three active fruit extracts.
What side effects were reported in trials?
A small number of people reported stomach discomfort or upset digestion; one person reported fatigue; and three reported musculoskeletal pain. Overall it's generally well tolerated in the studies we have.
Can this help with hair loss?
The evidence for amalaki and hair loss is insufficient to rate — we don't have enough reliable data yet to say whether it works.
