:- Binding to a digestive hormone linked with occasional gastrointestinal upset3
- Increasing bile acid excretion, and helping to maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range4
- Scavenging free radicals (antioxidant activity)2

Dosha Guide
In Ayurveda there are seven basic body constitutions resulting from the predominance of one or more energetic influences or Doshas. The Doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha, influence physical, mental and spiritual health. Everyone is considered to be a unique combination of these three body influences. Your natural Doshic state of balance is called Prakruti. Triphala has been traditionally used for digestion, strengthening and rejuvenating tissues and helping to balance the Doshas.
