How Triphala Works

Triphala is part of Banyan Botanicals Weight Management product line.

Triphala is recommended and used more than any other Ayurvedic herbal formulation. Triphala is popular for its unique ability to support normal detoxification function. This traditional formula also supports normal digestive, circulatory, respiratory and genitourinary system function. Translated as "three fruits", it is composed of the dried fruits of amalaki, bibhitaki and haritaki, which provide additional antioxidant support.

Triphala FAQs

What is in the Triphala formula?

Triphala is equally composed of three fruits, and the literal translation of the name is “tri” for three and “phala” for fruits. Each of these fruits has an affinity for a specific dosha: haritaki pacifies vata, amalaki pacifies pitta, and bibhitaki pacifies kapha. Because of this it is considered “tridoshic” (which means it is balancing for all doshas). In addition to these three fruits, our tablets contain a small amount of two other ingredients (organic maltodextrin and silicon dioxide) that act as binding and flowing agents to help form the tablets and then to keep them in tablet shape. Like the herbs, these other ingredients are non-GMO and sustainably sourced.

How is Banyan’s Triphala superior?

Banyan Botanicals offers the highest quality Triphala, and is involved in every step of the way to ensure that what you receive is superior– from working with the farmers that grow and nurture the herbs to rigorously testing the safety of each and every batch that is sold. Triphala is certified organic, organically farmed, sustainably sourced, fairly traded, and stringently tested for quality.

How do I take Triphala? At what time of the day, and do I take it with or without food?

For support and rejuvenation, taking the tablets at night before bed is best. For detoxification, it is most effective to take on an empty stomach either before bed or upon awakening. If you have a sensitive stomach, it may be more comfortable to take the tablets with food or after you have eaten. The most important component is to simply take the herbs! It is far more important to pick a time that is convenient for you than to be overly concerned about precisely when to take them. Ayurveda honors the uniqueness in each of us, and while one time may work for one person, a different time may work better for you.

How much Triphala should I take?

The general recommendation is to take one to two tablets, once or twice daily. You may see best results by committing to taking Triphala once daily, right before bed or upon rising. You may increase or decrease the amount you take depending on how you respond to Triphala. Listen to your body – it will be your best guide. If you don’t see results within a couple weeks, it is completely safe to increase the number of tablets within the recommended dosage. The ingredients are three fruits – if you happen to take more than your body needs, it may result in loose motions. Lower your dosage until you find a comfortable balance. If you need more guidance, work with a practitioner.

How soon after I start taking Triphala can I expect results?

Most people experience a more complete evacuation of the bowels within the first few days of taking Triphala. If you have a more chronic imbalance, it may take a little longer for results to be noticeable. For some people when detoxification begins, the bowels may be a little looser than normal. This is a common sign of cleansing and your bowel movements will return to normal as balance is achieved. As a general guideline, try it for at least 4-6 weeks. This will give the herbs time to penetrate all the tissue layers. It can also be useful to check in with yourself on a daily basis to help be aware of the subtle energies of the herbs. How was your digestion today? How was your energy? Not only will you notice the herbs working but you will learn how subtle adjustments of your diet, routine, and lifestyle make a difference to your well-being.

How long can I take Triphala?

Triphala is composed of three fruits – haritaki, amalaki, and bibhitaki. It is not uncommon to take Triphala for many, many years. Some notice an evolution in the way Triphala tastes and the subtle energies of the formula when taking it for a long time. For example, it may initially taste bitter. After a while, as balance is attained, the other tastes may emerge.

Can I take Triphala while I’m menstruating?

You can certainly take this during menstruation, and it is possible that Triphala may support normal elimination and support a normal flow while you are menstruating. For those who experience irregular elimination during menstruation, Triphala can be an especially great companion for you. Of course, since each and every situation is unique, we do also encourage you to first speak with a practitioner if you have questions about your menstruation and how Triphala can best support you.

Can I take this while I’m pregnant or nursing?

Triphala is not recommended during pregnancy due to haritaki, which has a laxative effect. Consult your practitioner if you would like to take this while you are nursing.

What if I’m taking another herb or medication?

Herbs often work synergistically, meaning that they can complement each other and work in harmony. These herbs have also been used for thousands of years to help people regain balance. However, it is best to talk with your practitioner if you want more clarity, you are already taking other herbs or a medication, or if you have any medical conditions.

Are there any other herbs or products that would complement Triphala?

Triphala is arguably the most beloved and recommended formula in Ayurveda. Since it is tridoshic (it balances all doshas), it is often used on its own or with other herbs. If you are interested in taking other Ayurvedic herbs or formulas with your Triphala to help bring balance to specific areas, the herbs will work synergistically to bring overall balance. For example, trikatu (Kapha Digest) and Triphala can be a great combination if you are looking to enkindle your digestive fire or to support normal lung function if there is a kapha imbalance. If you tend toward vata imbalance with your elimination, taking additional haritaki with your triphala will help to pacify vata while supporting normal bowel movements. Likewise, additional amalaki with your Triphala helps pacify excess pitta.

What are some effects of Triphala that may be bothersome to my predominant dosha or cause other imbalance based on my constitution?

This is a very balancing and well-rounded formula for all doshas: each fruit corresponds with a dosha (haritaki for vata, amalaki for pitta, and bibhitaki for kapha). It also has five of the six tastes – all but salty – and it is believed that the tastes are a major component in its effectiveness with bringing balance throughout the body.

Is a tablet still a natural, Ayurvedic way to ingest my herbs?

While our bulk herbs are the most traditional and Ayurvedic mode of intake, tablets have many merits and have beneficial Ayurvedic qualities. We chose to provide tablets over capsules so you can chew or taste them if you desire. Taste is incredibly important in Ayurveda. They are convenient and contain mainly the three fruits that compose Triphala – only a small percentage of the tablets are binding and flowing agents (which help form the tablets and keep them intact).
