HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Triphala Liquid Herbal Extract by Planetary Herbals

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 Jul 11, 2026

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 Extract Blend (Herb/Botanical)” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (3 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains three active herbal ingredients: organic Amla (Indian gooseberry), organic Chebulic Myrobalan, and organic Belleric Myrobalan, delivered as a liquid extract. Triphala is a traditional Ayurvedic blend, and each of these plants plays a role in the formula.

The liquid also contains organic grain alcohol and deionized water as inactive ingredients.

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: GI tract wellness and digestive health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Constipation, Indigestion, Dyspepsia.
  • 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).

Indian gooseberry (amla) in this product has been rated possibly effective for heartburn and acid reflux (GERD) and possibly effective for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia). The evidence for androgenic alopecia (hair loss) and high cholesterol levels is insufficient to rate.

We don't have effectiveness data on file for the other two ingredients in this blend.

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.

Indian gooseberry is generally well tolerated when used as a food, but safety information for supplement doses is less established. During pregnancy, there isn't enough data to know whether it's safe, so you should talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice.

Breastfeeding safety is not well studied — avoid it during breastfeeding unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise. Orally, some people have reported stomach discomfort, fatigue, or muscle pain in clinical trials, though these were uncommon.

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.

Before taking Triphala Liquid, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants) like warfarin, antiplatelet drugs like clopidogrel (Plavix), aspirin as a blood thinner, or diabetes medications. Indian gooseberry can affect bleeding risk and blood sugar levels with these drugs.

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're managing heartburn or high cholesterol and want to explore herbal support, Indian gooseberry in this blend has some evidence behind it. But if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or aspirin as a blood thinner, you need to check with your pharmacist first — this product may affect how they work.

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 Liquid Herbal Extract by Planetary Herbals: Common Questions

Does Triphala Liquid Herbal Extract by Planetary Herbals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Triphala Liquid Herbal Extract 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 Liquid Herbal Extract 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.
Does this product work for heartburn and acid reflux?
Indian gooseberry, the main ingredient we have data for, is rated possibly effective for GERD. That means there's some evidence, but it's not as strong as we'd like. Your individual results may vary, and it's best paired with other reflux management strategies.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you. During breastfeeding, we advise against it because safety information is too limited. Your healthcare provider can give you personalized guidance.
What side effects have been reported?
In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, and even fewer reported fatigue or muscle pain. These were uncommon, but they're worth knowing about.
What are Chebulic Myrobalan and Belleric Myrobalan?
They're the other two traditional plants in the Triphala blend. We don't hold interaction or safety data for them in our monographs, so we can't comment on how they work or what they do on their own.
Does this product have any fillers or additives?
It's a liquid extract, so it contains organic grain alcohol and deionized water as the base — these are inactive ingredients that help deliver the herbs.
