Understanding the interactions, benefits, and safety of combining these two powerful supplements.
We found no documented interaction between Melatonin 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.
What it is: A slow-release form of melatonin, the hormone the brain makes in the dark to set your sleep-wake clock.
What the research says: Melatonin may help with jet lag and some circadian sleep problems. Sleep-medicine guidelines say there isn't enough evidence to recommend it for chronic insomnia.

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.

Balancing dosages across multiple different bottles is risky, inefficient, and expensive. Melatonin SR is already lab-dosed in our Sleep Pack, and Triphala is in our Gut Pack — either way, that’s one less bottle to manage.
