Terrasoul SuperfoodsOrganic Triphala Powder -1 PoundUSDA Organic

I read an article on a science blog about mice living 60% longer when fed triphala and probiotics together. (Google it, you will find it.) Researchers were shocked, and cautioned that this may not correlate exactly with humans but they were still impressed.Of course I immediately jumped onto Amazon and ordered this because it seemed after reading a few honest reviews that the powdered version (as opposed to pills) was more potent and better for you. Someone said this brand was legit and didn’t put additives in it.After a week of once/twice daily doses when I can remember, I do feel a lot more energy and my digestive tracks is umm... very very happy! Whoa. Enough said on that topic. I added a strong probiotic pill and we’ll see what happens. I might start squeaking like a mouse.So... as you’ll read elsewhere, yes, this tastes vile. Vile. But, I have learned a trick to it. I drop a teaspoon of the powder in an empty (small!) juice glass, add a small bit of water, and mix this with a spoon until it’s dissolved — this trick works with many difficult-to-dissolve powders btw, matcha also for example, using warm water even better— but anyhow once the powder is dissolved I add enough water to fill the small juice glass about HALF full or less. Choose the amount you can swallow in one or two gulps. Chug this down as quickly as you can as if it were sewer sludge. You’re left with a disgusting dirt taste in your mouth but now the trick: chase it with a small bit of water and then wow... savor it. The small bit of triphala left will taste actually quite sweet and fruity! It’s nice. So apparently triphala is very pleasant in SMALL concentrations... a dash or two etc per glass. But small concentrations aren’t as medicinal, so... you can’t win. Still, taking it in a gulp and chasing it with water helps a lot.Hope this helped. Enjoy.

I've been adding 1/2 teaspoon into my morning smoothie, and within an hour my belly is letting me know things are moving. I was worried about it altering the flavor of the smoothie based on other reviews, but it hasn't. I took a sniff right from the bag and honestly felt it to be pretty mild. I know my taste buds have shifted away from liking anything sweet (vegan keto diet for a year, which eliminates all forms of sugar including fruit) so maybe I'm just less sensitive to it, but honestly don't notice a thing repulsive. I had been on a pill form of Triphala (recommended by a dietician for a healthy gut), but after seeing a naturopath, he told me it really needs to be in powder form. Seems to be more effective. Although I also add L-Glutamine in my smoothie, so that is in effect too.I appreciate the larger size as I do my best to minimize waste in packaging. The bulk cost savings is nice too.

This product is a great anti-inflammatory agent and also used to improve bowel health. I have been taking 3 capsules ("00" capsules) that I pack myself and take randomly when I need help controlling my moderate nagging joint pain. So far I've had very good results with it. I am unable to tolerate any of the NSAIDS, including chewable baby aspirin, so this has been great for pain relief without the stomach pain of OTC NSAIDS or the typical drowsy affect in using opioids! Highly recommended for those who get good relief from NSAID's but are unable to tolerate them due to the GI distress they frequently cause. The only issue I had with it was some mild to moderate indigestion when taken it on an empty stomach in capsule form; I think taking it as a tea or with food would alleviate that problem, at least for me. I'd suggest checking for medication incompatibility and also if you have a condition that would contraindicate using it!

I bought this brand based on reviews and it has delivered. The taste is bitter but I stir it in warm water and drink it when I’m congested or feel a cold coming on and it’s absolutely tolerable. It’s okay if you drink it down quick and you can take it several times a day if needed. I like it better than cold medicine because there aren’t any side effects.It’s not something I use every day. I have read that it’s more of a remedy than a supplement.It’s a lot of product for the money. I don’t know if I will use it all before it gets stale, but I’m happy so far!

I can’t say good enough things about this seller as they were very responsive to me when I needed an exchange. For my Dosha, this just completely back fired and apparently what I need is the Amalaki by itself.......Typically triphala (being tridoshic) is good for everyone. But of course not everyone responds well to all products ....even ayurvedic applications.But for those who are concerned about taste....it’s the best tasting of the triphala I have tried. Not gritty and goes down easily. I am a huge fan of Terrasoul in general as I use their ashwaghanda powder too. In general, because ayurvedic medicine is the real raw deal, generally their powders do not taste good. But some brands are better than others. So if that’s an issue for you, go for tablets or pills......but put the tablet on your tongue for a few seconds so you get the taste of the medicine....which is where the treatment actually starts.Great company to order from....

At first Triphala made me feel so energized! But the second week, I got bowel disturbances and a pounding heartbeat… it scared me so bad. I got really weak and shaky and couldn’t do my normal activities for a day after this episode. I didn’t trust that it was Triphala so I went for it again… and it happened again! I know this works well for those who can tolerate it. I am very sensitive to herbs. I’m writing this to remind others that herbs are no joke. I tookHalf a teaspoon in hot water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

No taste. I only use a 1/4 teaspoon. I put in in my oatmeal. I can definitely tell when I don’t take it.
