HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Triphala Ghee 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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
Triphala Ghee has 3 active ingredients: amla fruit extract, bibhitaki fruit extract, and haritaki fruit extract. These three are the core of the traditional Ayurvedic formula triphala.
The product also contains water as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for amla fruit extract shows it is possibly effective for GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease, or severe heartburn) and possibly effective for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia). For haritaki fruit extract, the data we hold does not establish effectiveness for obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or angina — the evidence is insufficient to rate those uses.
There is no effectiveness data on file for bibhitaki fruit extract.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Amla fruit extract is generally well tolerated as a food, though supplement safety at higher doses is less studied. Haritaki fruit extract is generally well tolerated short-term in studies, but long-term safety and quality vary by product.
In clinical trials, amla was associated with stomach discomfort or indigestion in a small number of participants, and isolated reports of fatigue and musculoskeletal pain. The safety data advises against using either amla or haritaki during pregnancy or breastfeeding because there is not enough reliable information.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Triphala Ghee, double-check your medications if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel (Moderate risk of increased bleeding). Also check if you're on diabetes medications that lower blood sugar, drugs processed through your liver's CYP2D6, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 pathways, the muscle relaxant chlorzoxazone, or the acid-reflux medication omeprazole — all carry Moderate interaction risk.
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.
Triphala Ghee may be worth considering if you're interested in GERD or cholesterol support and have no serious medications to check. If you take any blood thinner, diabetes drug, or prescription that your liver processes, run it through the interaction checker first — two of the three ingredients interact significantly with medications.
Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on a medicine list.

Triphala Ghee by Pure Indian Foods Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Triphala Ghee by Pure Indian Foods contains two ingredients with documented interactions across a wide range of medications.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs like aspirin and clopidogrel — both amla fruit extract and haritaki fruit extract may increase bleeding risk, though research is conflicting. Clinical studies show amla reduces how clots form and increases bleeding time.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Haritaki fruit extract also interacts with several drug-processing pathways in your liver (CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 substrates), potentially raising drug levels in your blood. Additionally, both ingredients may lower blood sugar if you take diabetes medications, and haritaki may increase side effects from the muscle relaxant chlorzoxazone or the acid-reflux drug omeprazole.
Altogether, these interactions span 922 individual medications.
Bibhitaki fruit extract could not be checked — we hold no interaction data for it. Before you start this product, run your exact medications through the checker below, especially if you take any blood thinner, diabetes medication, or prescription drug.

For each ingredient in Triphala Ghee with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Haritaki Fruit Extract
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Amla Fruit Extract
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.
