Triphala is een traditionele Ayurvedische formule, letterlijk vertaald als "drie vruchten", bestaande uit gelijke delen van de gedroogde vruchten van Amalaki (Indische gooseberry), Bibhitaki (Beleric myrobalan) en Haritaki (Chebulic myrobalan). Deze krachtige mix, rijk aan antioxidanten en vitamine C, wordt al eeuwen gebruikt in de Ayurveda om de spijsvertering te ondersteunen, het immuunsysteem te versterken, het lichaam te reinigen en de algehele vitaliteit te bevorderen. 

Jamun (Indian blackberry) powder, especially from the seeds, is prized in Ayurveda for managing blood sugar, aiding digestion, supporting heart health, and promoting clear skin due to its antioxidants, fiber, and compounds like jamboline, helping control glucose, reduce inflammation, boost immunity, and aid weight loss by curbing appetite. It's rich in vitamins (C, A) and minerals (calcium, iron, potassium) that contribute to overall wellness, supporting liver function and bone health.
