> I am following this thread partly because of the mention of triphala. I've read quite a bit on this and and have been using it for quite some time to undo the constipation side effect of my antidepressent mix. However - I seem to have run into contradictory advice. Some "sites" say its safe in any amount. In other words - take the amount you need to do the job. Others say the upper safe limit is 3000 mg a day. That amount does not do it for me. I have tried many things for the constipation but none of them work as well as the triphala. Anybody else had any experience, including any of you who may have a degree in pharmacy. Thanks.**My ayurvedic practitioner recommends 1 teaspoon of the dry herb. I also have Planetary Formulas triphala that recommends 4 grams, so your 3 grams doesn't sound like too much. Triphala tones the intestine but doesn't provide fiber so taking something like psyllium or such will provide the broom action.
