Is Digestiva Triphala Halal?

The Ingredient Breakdown

As a food scientist, I look for hidden animal derivatives or alcohol in supplements. Digestiva Triphala is remarkably clean. The formula relies on three primary fruits known in Ayurveda, supported by standard flow agents.

The core ingredients are Amla (Emblica officinalis), Vibhitaki (Terminalia bellerica), and Haritaki (Terminalia chebula). These are simply dried fruit extracts. They are botanical, containing no meat, dairy, or hidden animal enzymes. In the context of Halal certification, these are considered pure (Tayyib).

The supporting ingredients are Microcrystalline Cellulose and Magnesium Stearate (Vegetable source). Microcrystalline Cellulose is a refined wood pulp used to bind the tablet. Magnesium Stearate is a flow agent; the specific mention of "Vegetable source" is crucial. Some brands use animal-derived stearate, but this product explicitly avoids that. There are no gelatin capsules, no glycerin, and no alcohol used in the formulation.

Nutritional Value

Triphala is generally low in calories and is not taken for macronutrient content (protein, carbs, fat) but for phytochemicals. A standard serving of Digestiva Triphala typically contains negligible calories, almost zero fat, and minimal carbohydrates.

Because it is derived from fruits, it naturally contains trace sugars, but the amount is insignificant compared to daily limits. It fits well into a calorie-controlled or ketogenic diet. It is caffeine-free and does not spike blood sugar levels, making it a safe, non-stimulant option for daily digestive support.
