Triphala is a three-fruit formulation. Each preparation below is made and dosed differently.
2 sizes
90 capsules
Each form is a separate preparation with its own composition, pack size, directions and price. Only forms that exist in the pharmacy are linked.
Triphala is a formulation rather than a single herb: the three dried fruits Haritaki, Bibhitaki and Amalaki, traditionally used together to support digestion, elimination and restorative balance.
Chakrapani prepares Triphala in more than one form. The finished-product ratio of each preparation is not asserted here.
| Form | Character | Typically suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Powder (churna) | The three fruits reduced to a fine powder. | Traditional use with an anupana such as warm water, where the dose is adjusted by a physician. |
| Capsules | The three-fruit formulation presented in capsules. | A measured dose where the taste of the fruits is unwelcome. |
Official pharmacopoeial standard
API Part I, Vol. I, Harītakī (Fruit), Bibhītaka (Fruit), Āmalakī (Dried Fruit) monographs
Establishes the official identities and fruit parts of the three Ayurvedic drugs composing Triphala. The exact PCIM&H constituent records for Harītakī and Āmalakī are linked under API-HARITAKI and API-AMALAKI; the Bibhītaka constituent record is unresolved on the official portal, so this entry remains on the official generic catalogue.
