Short answer

We found no documented interaction between Triphala and Vegan omega-3 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.

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

Vegan omega-3 (algae oil)

What it is: The omega-3 fats EPA and DHA from algae instead of fish; they're part of every cell membrane.

What the research says: EPA and DHA lower triglycerides. Heart experts don't recommend omega-3 supplements for people at low heart risk.

Cautions

• The FDA advises no more than 5 g a day of EPA plus DHA from supplements.
• Side effects are usually mild: heartburn, nausea, loose stools.

Medicines to check

• Warfarin and other blood thinners: high doses may raise bleeding risk
