§ I · What it does

Benefits

01Gently regulates intestinal motility without dependency — combats constipation, bloating and indigestion
02Dense tannin and polyphenol load (chebulinic, chebulagic, gallic, ellagic acids) for antioxidant defence
03Amla delivers exceptionally high vitamin C — supports immunity and collagen synthesis
04Supports healthy blood glucose and lipid profile in clinical trials

§ II · Traditional use

Heritage

Triphala — literally 'three fruits' — is the cornerstone of Ayurvedic internal medicine. Charaka and Sushruta both prescribed it as a daily rasayana to balance vata (Haritaki), pitta (Amla) and kapha (Bibhitaki) — the only formula said to harmonise all three doshas simultaneously.
