Triphala
Three-fruit Ayurvedic formula.
Why
Three-fruit Ayurvedic formula. RCT evidence for mild laxative effect and antioxidant activity. Traditional bowel-tonic use rather than acute treatment.
How it works
Three-fruit Ayurvedic combination (amla, bibhitaki, haritaki) acts as a gentle laxative via anthraquinone content and supports antioxidant activity.
How to take
Dosage
Studied range: 500 mg – 5 g/day of powder or standardized extract across trials. Heterogeneity is high (Peterson 2017), Ayurvedic regimens vary by individual and indication.
Safety
Evidence
Peterson 2017 J Altern Complement Med narrative review summarises preclinical and clinical evidence for the three-fruit Ayurvedic formula: small RCTs support a gentle laxative effect, antioxidant activity, and dental-plaque reduction, but the trial base is heterogeneous and the formulations vary widely. Traditional bowel-tonic use rather than acute treatment.
Ayurvedic dosing varies by individual and indication, with high trial heterogeneity (Peterson 2017), no single dosage or onset timeline carries strong consensus. Most clinical evidence is preliminary.
