This absolutely helped my digestion and detox regiment. When I wipe after "number two" there's literally nothing there for starters. It improved my complexion dramatically by eliminating the free radicals, toxins, and gmo's from my gut biome makeup. I use this in conjunction with a coffee enema every 3 days and it has literally changed my life. One heaping tablespoon in my smoothies 1-2x a day has transformed my body. I sleep better, workout stronger, and digest food and absorb nutrients on an noticeably elevated level. I bought this on an intuitional whim and now I have it set on auto delivery. You will too. Just try it for 3-5 days straight and you'll see what I mean.

I noticed a change in my digestion from the first day of taking this product. I’m glad that i purchased it! I am definitely feeling better. The taste is slightly bitter. If you have problems with that IMO you could add a little raw honey.

a must have for every household

Very bitter and will go back to taking the pills! However, it works great! I noticed an immediate effect on my digestion. The reason for my 3 stars only is that when emptying the packet into a jar, there was a piece of plastic in it. I have not idea what it's from but it came out of the package.UPDATE:I have to admit I like this stuff. Not for the taste but I've gotten used to it. The benefit outweighs the negative taste. I poured all into a mason jar and keep it on my kitchen sink. In the morning, I put 1/2 tsp in a mug of hot water, add a slice of lemon and honey. I drink it in the morning because this stuff gives me lots of energy throughout the day. I noticed it immediately in addition to aiding my digestion. I notice the effects more readily than the gelatin caps I assume because it gets into the bloodstream so fast. I'd be afraid of taking it at bedtime, but I suppose it depends on the individual. It just seems like it gets me going. So I may purchase this again over the capsules. It just takes some getting used to. When I took capsules from another brand (BRI), I lost weight and it worked for me. It doesn't make you shaky, or anything like those diet drugs used to do. It's just a natural feeling of being "younger" to me. And I know it's not bad for me, So I'll take it.

I will start off with specific things about this product and then move to general properties of triphala.Banyan Botanicals is not my favorite brand for reasons that are irrelevant to this review. In any case, I find myself coming back again and again for their triphala. Some companies seem to have that one thing or small handful of things that they just got right in every regard; herb sourcing, storage, product rotation, etc. I have tried MANY other brands and have been disappointed. If you think it's supposed to taste "good", you're missing the point. It's supposed to taste PURE. Many other companies sell products that taste like chemicals, pesticides, or mold. Now I will say that microingredients does triphala that is nearly as good, but it is a smaller particle size. It is meant to dissolve in warm water, but the problem is that it won't hold up to the slightest bit of humidity and it will also gum up the zipper of the bag. This triphala is a slightly larger particle size and so is a little grainy, but it's not a rice protein shake. You're only taking a half a teaspoon most of the time (sometimes more, sometimes less). To me, this product it worth its weight in titanium.Triphala is a very ancient Indian herbal compound and is perhaps prescribed by Ayurvedic physicians more than any other. It is a combination of three fruits that individually work to balance a specific constitution, but when combined, balance all three and aggravate none. Flavors are energies that effectuate a specific function and triphala contains all of the 6 flavors. I would call it a gentle detoxifier. It has a tendency to pull toxins from the liver and the digestive tract and will facilitate their removal via the colon. It is nothing like a stimulant laxative, but it will help to ensure regular bowel movements. It has direct and indirect effects that promote the health of the digestive and circulatory systems and pretty much every system of the body. It is safe for everyone and is non-habit forming. Its main action is upon the digestive system and once it helps you to restore balance, you can continue taking it or stop. Needless to say, it is also important to educate yourself about what exactly are healthy eating and digestive habits that brought you to a state of imbalance in the first place. In India there is a saying that goes something like, "If you don't have a mother, the second-best thing you can have is triphala." Triphala has a strong flavor which is typical of many things of a medicinal nature, but you may find that the flavor becomes sweeter over time as your body slowly detoxifies. I only gave this an overall rating because the topic of "flavor" is tricky. It's not necessarily supposed to taste "good" in the common sense of the word. My favorite way to use it is a half teaspoon in a cup of very warm water first thing in the morning. Remember to stir before each sip so you don't end up wasting any of the herbs at the bottom of your glass.**Just a final note on quality. If you are sensitive to it, you will be able to taste which products are grown with pesticides, in contaminated soil, or are not stored properly. With medicines like this, if you are even going to bother to use it, you defeat the purpose of using it if you are buying a toxic product. I have had many good experiences with triphala from Banyan Botanicals, but please rely on your own sense of things. Who knows, anybody can loosen their quality control standards for a quarter here and there to cut costs. I'm not making any accusations but you have to be cautions when your health is somebody else's business.
