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 (Terminalia chebula), and organic bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica) powder. These are the three fruits that make up the traditional formula.
The product has no inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The amla berry in this blend is possibly effective for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and possibly effective for dyslipidemia (high cholesterol levels). For the other uses people turn to triphala—respiratory infections, constipation, cough, diarrhea, diabetes, and aging skin—the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether it works.
Your results may vary, and talking with your own doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for your specific concern is a good idea.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Triphala is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety at higher doses is less studied. A small number of trial participants reported stomach discomfort or indigestion; one reported fatigue and three reported muscle pain, though these numbers were very small.
In one case study, two people with high cholesterol developed a rash (one with facial swelling) shortly after taking triphala with another supplement, though it's unclear what caused the reaction. All three ingredients lack reliable safety data during pregnancy and are rated possibly unsafe, so the safety data advises against use if you're pregnant.
For breastfeeding, there isn't enough data to know either way—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check before starting if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin, clopidogrel, or other anticoagulants—amla berry may increase bleeding risk. Also flag diabetes medications, muscle relaxants like chlorzoxazone, and heartburn drugs like omeprazole, which haritaki may interfere with.
Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist.
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 reflux and cholesterol, but it's a blood-thinner and blood-sugar concern if you take medications for those conditions. Pregnant people should avoid it.
If you take any prescription medications—especially blood thinners, diabetes drugs, muscle relaxants, or heartburn meds—check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Triphala Powder by Organic Traditions interacts with medications through its amla berry, haritaki, and bibhitaki content.
The most serious concern is a Moderate risk of increased bleeding with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs like aspirin and clopidogrel, caused by the amla berry component, which research shows can reduce platelet clumping and lengthen bleeding time.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
All three ingredients may raise the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) if you take diabetes medications—the amla berry, haritaki, and bibhitaki can all lower blood glucose levels, so dose adjustments to your diabetes drugs might be needed. Additionally, haritaki may increase blood levels and side effects of the muscle relaxant chlorzoxazone and the heartburn medication omeprazole by slowing how your body clears them.
Altogether, these interactions span 214 individual medications. Use the medication checker below to look up your exact drugs before you start.

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.
