HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Triphala Powder by Pure Indian Foods
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 is a traditional blend of three dried fruits. This product contains 3 active ingredients: Amla (Indian gooseberry), Haritaki, and Bibhitaki.
The formula is delivered as a powder made from these three fruit powders.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence on triphala's effectiveness is mixed and sparse. Amla shows possibly effective evidence for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)—essentially heartburn—and dyslipidemia (high blood lipids).
For other claimed uses like androgenic alopecia (male-pattern hair loss) and high cholesterol, the evidence isn't established in the data we hold. Haritaki's effectiveness for obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and angina (chest pain) is similarly not established.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Amla is generally well tolerated as a food, but safety at supplement doses is less studied. There is not enough safety data to recommend it during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
The same applies to Haritaki—it's well tolerated short-term in studies, but you should avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information. In trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort, fatigue, or muscle pain, but these were rare.
We hold no pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data for Bibhitaki.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist before using this product if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants), antiplatelet drugs, aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), or any antidiabetes medication. Also flag chlorzoxazone (a muscle relaxer) and omeprazole (a heartburn drug).
If you take any medications metabolized by your liver's CYP3A4, CYP2C9, or CYP2D6 enzymes, ask your pharmacist to review them.
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 help with heartburn and high blood lipids, but the evidence is limited. Its main risk is interactions with blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, and diabetes medications—especially if you take Plavix, aspirin, or any antidiabetes drug.
Talk to your pharmacist before starting, particularly if you take medications that affect bleeding or blood sugar.

Organic Triphala Powder by Pure Indian Foods Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Pure Indian Foods Organic Triphala Powder contains three ingredients, and two of them interact with medications.
The most serious concerns come from Amla and Haritaki, both of which may increase bleeding risk if you take anticoagulants (blood thinners), antiplatelet drugs, aspirin, or clopidogrel (Plavix). Amla reduces clotting and increases bleeding time in clinical trials, and Haritaki shows similar effects in lab research.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Both Amla and Haritaki also interact with antidiabetes drugs—they may lower blood sugar levels further, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). You may need dose adjustments to your diabetes medication.
Additionally, Haritaki can affect how your body metabolizes certain drugs through liver enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2D6), potentially raising their levels and effects. Two specific medications to flag are chlorzoxazone (a muscle relaxer) and omeprazole (a heartburn drug); animal research shows Haritaki may increase their blood levels.
We could not check Bibhitaki for interactions—we hold no data for it. Altogether, these interactions span 922 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Organic 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.
Haritaki
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.
