Triphalax

Triphalax from Herbagetica comes in 60 capsules. Each capsule contains standardized extract of Triphalax (Terminalia bellirica, Terminalia chebula and Emblica officinalis) in concentrated form, intended for oral administration. 

The capsules are easy to swallow and provide a precise dosage to ensure the benefits of this traditional Ayurvedic formula.

Triphalax is used to support digestive health, but it also has other benefits. Main indications include:

• Digestive support - Triphala is known for its digestive supporting effects, helping to maintain a healthy bowel transit. It has been used since ancient times as a natural treatment for digestive problems such as constipation, as Triphala has a mild laxative effect

• Antioxidant - Triphala contains vitamin C, flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins and saponins, along with other powerful plant compounds. Thanks to this rich antioxidant content, it helps fight oxidative stress and protect cells from free radical damage

• Oral health - Triphala has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help prevent plaque formation, a common cause of tooth decay and gingivitis

• Anticarcinogenic - Studies have shown that Triphala can inhibit the development of certain cancers, such as gastric, pancreatic or lymphoma. The high levels of powerful antioxidants such as gallic acid and polyphenols in Triphala are thought to be responsible for its anti-cancer properties.

Take 2-3 capsules a day, preferably with a large glass of water, in the evening before bedtime or in the morning on an empty stomach, or as directed by your doctor.

It is important that the dosage is respected and taken according to the manufacturer's or doctor's recommendations to avoid the risk of side effects.

Triphalax is generally considered safe, but there are some contraindications:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid taking Triphalax without a doctor's advice.

• People allergic to any of the ingredients should avoid using this supplement.

• People with severe gastrointestinal conditions, such as ulcers or Crohn's disease, should only use Triphalax after advice from a specialist.

Because Triphalax can have a mild laxative effect, it is important to drink enough water to prevent dehydration.

Although Triphalax is considered a safe natural supplement, side effects may occur in some people:

• The laxative effect can sometimes cause mild abdominal discomfort or cramping.
• In case of overdose or sensitivity to the active ingredients, temporary diarrhea may occur.
• The laxative effect can lead to increased fluid loss, which can cause dehydration if not enough fluids are consumed.

Triphalax can interact with certain medicines in particular:

• Blood-thinning medication (warfarin) 
• Anti-diabetic medicines 
• Proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole)
• Antihypertensive medication

It is important to tell your doctor about any other medicines you are taking to avoid possible interactions.

Important! Co-administration with other laxative medications may amplify the laxative effects of Triphalax, causing severe gastrointestinal discomfort.

Triphalax overdose can cause unpleasant side effects, including severe diarrhea and abdominal cramps.

In case of overdose, it is recommended to discontinue use and seek medical advice.

Triphalax should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
