HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Triphala Powder by Organic Aura
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 Powder contains 3 active ingredients: amalaki fruit powder, bibhitaki fruit powder, and haritaki fruit powder — a traditional Ayurvedic blend. The inactive ingredient is organic Triphala powder itself.
All three fruits are the working components; there are no added fillers listed.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
For amalaki fruit powder in this blend, the evidence shows it is possibly effective for acid reflux (GERD) and possibly effective for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia). For high cholesterol levels specifically and male pattern baldness, the evidence isn't strong enough for us to rate it reliably.
We hold no effectiveness data on bibhitaki and haritaki.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Amalaki is generally well tolerated as a food, but safety at supplement doses is less studied. Supplement doses haven't been studied enough for pregnancy — the safety data advises against use during pregnancy.
For breastfeeding, there's too little reliable safety information, so it's best to avoid it. In clinical trials, a small number of participants reported stomach upset or indigestion, and single cases of fatigue and muscle or joint pain were noted.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like clopidogrel (Plavix), aspirin, or diabetes medications — all carry a Moderate interaction risk with amalaki. We could not check the other two ingredients (bibhitaki and haritaki) 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 be worth considering if you're looking for support with acid reflux or cholesterol, but if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or aspirin, you need to check with your pharmacist first. It's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Talk to your pharmacist before you start, especially if you're on any regular medications.

Triphala Powder by Organic Aura Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Organic Aura's Triphala Powder contains amalaki fruit powder, which has documented interactions with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs — amalaki may increase bleeding risk. Clinical trials show it reduces how quickly blood clots by 24% to 36% and extends bleeding time by about 3.8 to 5.9 seconds, though the research on real-world bleeding risk remains mixed.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Amalaki also interacts with diabetes medications and aspirin at a Moderate severity level. If you're taking diabetes drugs, amalaki may lower your blood sugar further, potentially causing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), so your doctor might need to adjust your dose.
Aspirin carries the same bleeding-risk concern as other blood thinners.
Altogether, these interactions span 207 individual medications. The other two ingredients in this product — bibhitaki and haritaki — we could not check for interactions.

Amalaki fruit powder
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.
