I took this for about a month, didn't feel any different at all. Gave up, because it was disgusting to swallow a spoonful of this stuff. I should have bought some gel caps and stuffed it myself.

tastes bad

Take it on an empty stomach just before bed or before an evening practice. Mix a teaspoon with about 2 or 3 oz of normal temperature water and some honey.It will not dissolve completly but enough. It taste really bitter, so this way is more palatable than trying to make it into a full cup of tea.If you have eaten recently, then use sugar instead of honey.It helps in its effectiveness to taste the bitterness, instead of using capsules. When you taste it feel yourself strong, and that will help its effectiveness as well, rather than shirking back from it.Triphala consists of three herbs, Amla which is famous as a rejuvinative and very rich in vitamin c, bibitaki, and haritaki which has been called the king of the himalayan herbs. It helps the eyes, heart, hair, and intestines, gives stength, and tends to push out toxins accumulated in the body. It helps for sound sleep as well.Do not take too much, and with that said it is safe and like a food for the body.

99% of the content is from one of the three ingredients of what should be in Triphala.

I mix 1/2 teaspoon with 1/2 cup of warm water and stir, stir, stir. It does dissolve.Last night I squirted some Hibiscus Flower Extract into it too. I don't think it's as awful tasting as many do. It's not something I'd drink as an enjoyable beverage but it seems to be serving a good purpose. I'm more regular.I've read so many good things about Triphala on Google - I wanted to try it and I'm glad I did.

I have been using Triphsla for years to help balance intestinal flora and tone. Only used one othe brand- Planetary Formulas. I chose to change because this one is "sustainably wild crafted."

This product works pretty well, does what it claims. I take it every night and it makes me go in the morning.
