Triphala - 60 capsules
The classic Ayurvedic gut cleanse
Last updated: May 2026
Triphala is the three-fruit blend Ayurveda has used as a daily gut tonic for more than two thousand years, combining Amla (Emblica officinalis), Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica), and Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) in roughly equal parts. Each capsule delivers this traditional blend in a daily-friendly format.
What it traditionally does
Triphala is one of the gentlest daily gut cleansers in Ayurveda. It supports regular bowel movements without the harshness of stimulant laxatives, and offers a steady source of Vitamin C through Amla, plus tannins and antioxidants from the other two fruits.
How to take it
Traditional practice is one capsule in the evening, before bed, on an empty stomach. Start with one capsule per day. Most users settle into a 30 to 60 day cycle, then take a break.
Who it is for
- Adults who want a gentle daily gut routine, not a harsh cleanse.
- People with sluggish digestion or irregular bowel movements.
- Anyone building a 60 to 90 day Ayurvedic gut-reset routine.
Frequently asked questions
Is Triphala a laxative?
It can have a mild laxative effect at higher doses, but at 1 to 2 capsules per day it functions more as a gentle daily tonic.
Can I take it long-term?
Yes, in cycles. Most traditional practice recommends 30 to 60 day rounds with a break in between.
Are there interactions?
Triphala may slow the absorption of some medications. Take it at least 2 hours away from prescription medicines.
