HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Triphala Powder by Organic Traditions
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: organic Amla berry (Indian gooseberry), organic Haritaki, and organic Bibhitaki. All three are traditional Ayurvedic fruits blended in powder form.
There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Amla berry in this product is possibly effective for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid levels). The evidence for its use against hair loss (androgenic alopecia) and high cholesterol is insufficient — meaning we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works for those uses.
The effectiveness ratings for Haritaki and Bibhitaki are not on file in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Amla berry is generally well tolerated as a food, though supplement safety at higher doses is less well studied. The safety data advises against using supplement doses of Amla berry during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to too little reliable information.
In clinical trials, a small number of participants reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, and a few reported fatigue or muscle pain, but these were uncommon. For Haritaki and Bibhitaki, pregnancy and breastfeeding safety data are not on file — talk with your pharmacist or doctor before use if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Triphala, double-check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants), antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel (Plavix), or diabetes medications. Amla berry in this product may increase bleeding risk or lower blood sugar, so dose adjustments might be needed.
We could not check the other two ingredients for interactions.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Triphala may help with GERD or blood lipid levels, but the main thing to check before taking it is whether you're on blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or diabetes medications — all have documented Moderate-severity interactions with Amla berry. If you do take any of those, you'll need to talk with your pharmacist or doctor about dosing and monitoring.
Pregnant and nursing mothers should avoid the supplement form of Amla berry.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Triphala Powder by Organic Traditions contains Amla berry, which has documented interactions with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs like aspirin and clopidogrel (Plavix) — all rated Moderate severity. Amla berry can reduce how quickly your blood clots; studies show it cuts platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36% and increases bleeding time by roughly 3.8–5.9 seconds.
The research is mixed, but combined use could raise your bleeding risk.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Amla berry may also lower blood sugar levels when taken with diabetes medications (antidiabetes drugs), again a Moderate-severity interaction. If you take these drugs, your dose might need adjustment to prevent low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
The other two ingredients in this product — Haritaki and Bibhitaki — we could not check; no interaction data is on file for them. Altogether, these interactions span 207 individual medications.

organic Amla berry (Emblica officinalis) 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.
organic Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) powder
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of Terminalia chebula with antidiabetes drugs could affect blood sugar control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that Terminalia chebula fruit extract has 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.
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.
organic Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica) powder
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of Terminalia bellirica with antidiabetes drugs could affect blood sugar control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that Terminalia bellirica fruit extract, alone or in combination with Terminalia chebula and Indian gooseberry, has hypoglycemic effects. This activity has not been shown in humans.
