Banyan Botanicals Triphala Powder – Organic Formula of Amla, Haritaki & Bibhitaki – for Daily Detoxifying, Cleansing & Rejuvenation* – Maintains Regularity* – ½lb. – Non-GMO Sustainably Sourced

I ordered it from Australia, delivered on time, very good quality, not bitter taste more of amla side, works well, no side effects, best part is two years expiry time is there. I was afraid what if seller send closer to expiry one as few had a similar experience from other seller. But I received best.

Purchased this for a re-occurance of IBS-C/ suspected altered bowel ( SIBO ) Although it's been nicely subdued for years, recently experienced a very stubborn issue of IBS/ altered bowel that I was not able to resolve through dosing with Olive Leaf, then oregano oil, and sugarless/carbohydrate/ fruit free and gluten free diet. This was unusual, normally can get things under control if they slightly go astray. Had actually came across some literature on triphala, did further research, decided to order it in powder form despite a couple negative reviews about the condition of the powder. Never heard of it prior. The package arrived quickly, overnight I think, with no packaging or quality issues whatsoever! No lumps, no foreign objects, fine fresh smelling. I took 1/2 tsp dose in lukewarm coffee. Melted in extremely well, fully dissolving. I did not mind the taste at all. Bitter,astringent- but not not at all intolerable. This was in coffee with coconut oil, so no sweetness. Almost immediately, I noticed a spike in energy. It was inexplicable, I had had fatigue for 10 days. It wasn't uncomfortable energy, it was very natural feeling. Like I had a sort of zest and ambition- I guess I would put it as a sense of wellness. I normally feel queasy after drinking coffee too, and got none of that. I won't say it completely settled my stomach but I felt relaxed in my stomach. I did experience some gassiness after eating that day, but did not expect that to disappear immediately. A bowel movement did not result that day from having taken it. I did read that some dose morning and night. So, before bed, I took another 1/2 tsp in my lukewarm CBD infused Chamomile tea. This was a mistake. Even though it was in CBD tea, which normally puts me into deep relaxation, followed by deep sleep- I again experienced a surge of energy. I could not fall asleep at all throughout the night. At about 6am I fell asleep for one hour. I woke at 7 and got out of bed, I had complete energy like I had slept a full night. I actually went out and washed and waxed my car that day. Unheard of. The day went by uneventfully. Slightly lessened gas, a feeling of wellness but no bowel movement that I was REALLY hoping for. Late afternoon I passed some sludgy mud looking excrement. Very thick and like wet cement. Forgive these details but it is product related, Behind the sludge was a normal full buoyant bowel movement. Since I wasn't horribly gassy I decided to eat some broccoli that night. Went to bed on time, fell asleep, next day no bowel movement at all, nor one through out the day. That night, in the wee hours had to get up to take a sludgy bowel movement again. So, things are unpredictable but the system seems to be mysteriously cleansing. But most of all I don't have that excrutiating fatigue and horrible constant lower bowel gas. We will see how this progresses. But please know there is definitely SOMETHING to this stuff. It's not placebo hype. I am very pleased with the quality and the company, they sent a follow up note with Ayurveda Info. Good luck to all in your healing and wellness challenges!

To put it simply, this product works. I highly suggest starting with a smaller than recommended dose and seeing how your body reacts, as I found it to be quite potent. And ladies, if you are looking to take this for, shall we say, colon health, be aware that it is also used at times for issues related to a woman's monthly cycle (as I accidentally discovered). One more thing I think is worthy of mentioning: the taste. I found it absolutely, utterly vile. As in, "can't drink it down quickly because it will make me gag" levels of disgusting. My cod liver oil is tasty in comparison! I managed to take it with some juice through a straw, but if you are sensitive to tastes (bitter in particular), you may want to try this stuff in pill form. I still give this product 4 stars though, because it seems to be potent and effective, and you get a lot of bang for your buck IMHO.

Everything I expected!!!

I purchased this powder because I had tried the tablet version of the triphala and it worked great! Made me go every morning at the same time. Was very pleased was ready to reorder and thought what a great deal the powder is much cheaper so I ordered two bags. It has not made me go once. I even tried taking a tbs of it. Nothing. I tried to return it but they wouldn't let me. Just wanted to let people know if they used the tablets and was buying this to save money this may or may not work as good. Now I am stuck with two bags of powder trying to decide if i Want to spend another 20 dollars on a bottle of tablets. I really liked being able to depend on going every day at a certain time. I highly recommend the tablets. Update: I contacted the company and they could not have been nicer. They said they would work with amazon to get me a refund and they did and I ordered a huge bottle of tablets. They were so nice and at a time when I had lost a family member so that meant alot to me. I love this company.
