Short answer

We found no documented interaction between Multivitamin and Triphala in the sources below. That isn't proof the combination is right for you: check each one's cautions, and ask your pharmacist if you take medication.

Multivitamin

What it is: A combination of vitamins and minerals in one supplement.

What the research says: A multivitamin raises your daily nutrient intake; it's hard to show it prevents disease. It can't replace a varied diet.

Cautions

• A basic multivitamin is unlikely to cause harm, but check your total intake if you also take other supplements or fortified foods.
• Smokers should avoid multivitamins with large amounts of beta-carotene or vitamin A.

Medicines to check

• Warfarin: talk to your clinician before any supplement with vitamin K

Triphala

What it is: A traditional Ayurvedic blend of three dried fruits (amalaki, bibhitaki and haritaki), used mainly for digestion.

What the research says: It's traditionally used as a gentle laxative. Most other proposed benefits come from lab and animal studies, not good human trials.

Cautions

• There's little human safety research. Because it acts as a laxative, loose stools are possible.

Medicines to check

• Talk to your clinician if you take any medicine
