HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Triphala Powder by Banyan Botanicals
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
Full disclosure
Triphala Powder contains three active ingredients: amla (Indian gooseberry), chebulic myrobalan, and belleric myrobalan. This is a traditional Ayurvedic blend.
The product contains no inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
For amla specifically, the evidence shows it's possibly effective for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fat levels). There isn't enough reliable evidence to rate amla for hair loss or belleric myrobalan for obesity, high blood pressure, heart-related conditions, or high cholesterol.
We don't hold effectiveness data for chebulic myrobalan.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Amla is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety at higher doses is less studied. In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, and isolated cases of fatigue and muscle pain were noted.
Neither amla nor belleric myrobalan has enough safety data during pregnancy — the facts advise against use in pregnancy. There isn't enough safety information during breastfeeding either, so both ingredients should be avoided then.
Long-term safety of belleric myrobalan and product quality vary depending on the source.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet medications (aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin—risk of increased bleeding). Also flag diabetes drugs (risk of low blood sugar), drugs metabolized by CYP2D6, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 enzymes (levels may rise), muscle relaxers like chlorzoxazone, and reflux medications like omeprazole.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Triphala may be worth considering if you're interested in GERD or cholesterol support and have no blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or liver enzyme–dependent medications on board. If you take any prescription medication, especially anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, diabetes medications, muscle relaxers, or reflux drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Pregnant people and those breastfeeding should avoid this product.

Formula
Organic Ayurvedic herbs
Triphala is recommended and used more than any other Ayurvedic herbal formulation. Popular for its unique ability to gently cleanse and detoxify the system while simultaneously replenishing and nourishing it, this traditional formula supports the proper functions of the digestive, circulatory, respiratory and genitourinary systems. Translated as "three fruits," it is composed of the dried fruits of amalaki, bibhitaki, and haritaki. Containing five of the six tastes (all but salty), triphala readily removes excess vata, pitta, and kapha from the body, bringing balance and proper functioning to the system. It is commonly taken as a daily supplement to help maintain balance of the doshas.

Belleric Myrobalan monograph & interactionsTriphala Powder by Banyan Botanicals Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Triphala Powder by Banyan Botanicals does interact with medications, primarily through its amla and belleric myrobalan content.
The most serious documented finding is a Moderate-severity risk: amla may increase bleeding risk if you're taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel. Clinical research shows amla reduces platelet aggregation by 24% to 36% and increases bleeding time.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Belleric myrobalan raises additional Moderate-severity concerns. It may slow how your body clears certain medications by inhibiting three liver enzymes (CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4), potentially raising drug levels and side effects.
It also shares amla's bleeding-risk profile with blood thinners. Both ingredients may lower blood sugar, so if you take diabetes medications, your dose might need adjustment.
Belleric myrobalan may also affect how your body processes chlorzoxazone (a muscle relaxer) and omeprazole (a reflux medication), raising their blood levels. We could not check chebulic myrobalan — we hold no interaction data for it.
Altogether, these interactions span 934 individual medications.
Before starting this product, run your exact medications through the checker below, especially if you take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, muscle relaxers, reflux medications, or any prescription that depends on those three liver enzymes.

For each ingredient in Triphala Powder 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.
Belleric Myrobalan
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
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.
