Triphala Capsules — Organic Three-Fruit Ayurvedic Blend in Pullulan Vegetarian Capsules Triphala is one of the oldest and most foundational formulas in Ayurvedic tradition — a blend of three fruits that has been used in classical Ayurvedic practice for thousands of years. Our capsules contain one thing: a traditional equal-ratio blend of organic Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki, encapsulated in a pullulan vegetarian shell. No fillers. No binders. No additives. Just the three fruits, as the formula has always been. At a Glance Formula: Organic Triphala blend — Amla (Emblica officinalis), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica) Ratio: Traditional equal parts (1:1:1) Serving size: 500 mg per capsule Region of origin: India Capsule shell: Pullulan (plant-based vegetarian capsule — no gelatin) Other ingredients: None Sizes available: 30-count, 60-count The Three Fruits Amla — Emblica officinalis (Amalaki) Also known as Indian Gooseberry, Amla is one of the most revered fruits in Ayurvedic tradition. It is considered a Rasayana botanical — a rejuvenating tonic — and is the central fruit in the Triphala formula. Amla is valued for its naturally occurring Vitamin C content and has been used in Ayurvedic practice for centuries as both a food and a botanical preparation. Haritaki — Terminalia chebula Haritaki is sometimes called the "King of Medicines" in Tibetan and Ayurvedic traditions. It is one of the three fruits of the Triphala formula and has been used across South and Southeast Asian traditional medicine systems for thousands of years. Classical Ayurvedic texts describe it as a primary Rasayana herb, particularly associated with the Vata dosha. Bibhitaki — Terminalia bellirica Bibhitaki is the third fruit of the Triphala formula. Its name in Sanskrit means "fearless of disease" — a reflection of how highly it was regarded in traditional Ayurvedic practice. It has been used across South Asia in traditional botanical preparations and is associated in classical texts with the Kapha dosha. What Is Triphala? "Tri" means three, "phala" means fruit — Triphala is literally the three-fruit formula. It appears in classical Ayurvedic texts including the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita, making it one of the best-documented formulas in the Ayurvedic tradition. It is considered a Tridoshic formula — one that is classically described as balancing to all three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). The formula is typically prepared in equal parts by weight. Our capsules follow this traditional ratio: one-third each of Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki. Why Pullulan Capsules? Pullulan is derived from tapioca — a naturally fermented, plant-based material. Unlike gelatin capsules (which are animal-derived), pullulan capsules are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and have lower oxygen permeability than most capsule materials, which helps preserve the botanical contents. We use pullulan across our entire capsule line. Sourced Through Direct Relationships Our botanicals are sourced through direct supplier relationships developed during sourcing trips to India.
