Hindu ‘trio’ FREES backed up bowels
Constipation is one of the BIGGEST gastrointestinal complaints in the U.S…. especially for adults over 60.
And fixing it sometimes feels like a lose-lose situation.
Either you’re buying embarrassing “poop pills”… or taking turbo-charged laxatives that can make your bowels swing the other way… toward uncontrollable DIARRHEA!
Fortunately, there’s a safe, natural answer to moving past those unbearable bathroom problems and get “regular” again.
And it doesn’t involve taking a pill or guzzling back a chemical-laden laxative.
Triphala is a herbal mixture of three dried fruits used in the popular, centuries-old medicinal practice of Ayurveda.
Literally translated “three fruits” in Sanskrit, Triphala consists of:
- Amala (also called Indian gooseberry)
- Bibhitaki
- Haritaki
Each of these alone are packed with all kinds of nutrients… but when combined they provide a unique combination of inflammatory-reducing antioxidants.
Antioxidants coat the lining of your gut and protect the cells by controlling inflammation and supporting the growth of healthy bacteria—which helps prevent constipation.
Studies around Triphala and digestive health have found that it:
- RELIEVES constipation symptoms (i.e., gas, bloating)
- REDUCES constipation
- IMPROVES the consistency of bowel movements
Look for Triphala in capsule, powder, or liquid form… usually available at most health food stories on online specialty retailers.
Ayurveda practices generally suggest taking Triphala between meals on an empty stomach for maximum absorption.
The typical dosage ranges from 500 mg to one gram per day; just be sure to follow what’s listed on the product label and to talk with your doctor if you have a history of irregularity or constipation.
To regularity,
