Are Triphala Capsules tested for microbiological safety?

Yes, to food-supplement criteria. Overall counts stay within limits and Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus are each absent.

Are Triphala Capsules vegan?

Yes, they are vegan (vegetarian HPMC capsule shell) and contain no Annex II allergens.

AYURVEDIC FOOD SUPPLEMENT

Triphala Capsules

Triphala Capsules, the classical three-fruit Ayurvedic formulation, offered as a food supplement.

Triphala Capsules are a classical Ayurvedic food supplement from Art of Vedas. This page sets out what they are, the tradition they belong to, their three fruit ingredients, and the pesticide-residue and microbiological test results recorded for every batch.

What Triphala Capsules are

Triphala Capsules are a classical Ayurvedic food supplement, offered by Art of Vedas. Each capsule contains Triphala - the classical blend of three fruits, Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica) and Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) in equal parts - in a vegetarian capsule shell. They are made in India under Good Manufacturing Practice, and the ingredients are reviewed against EU food law.

They are vegan and contain no allergens. The recommended intake is 2 capsules per day. As with any food supplement, they are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.

Triphala in classical Ayurveda

Triphala, literally the three fruits, is one of the best-known classical Ayurvedic formulations.

Art of Vedas offers it as a simple three-fruit capsule, describing the tradition rather than any outcome, with the ingredients reviewed against EU food law, and tests it with every batch.

Quality and testing

Tested with every batch

Every production batch is tested before release, with pesticide residues the primary focus for a dried botanical: pesticide residues against EU food limits, microbiological safety, and heavy metals by ICP-MS. The results below are representative; every batch is retested before release.

Heavy metals

Four heavy metals were tested by ICP-MS, each within the maximum level set for food under EU law (Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915).

Metal	Result	Reference
Lead (Pb)	Within the permitted limit	EU food maximum
Cadmium (Cd)	Within the permitted limit	EU food maximum
Mercury (Hg)	Within the permitted limit	EU food maximum
Arsenic (As, inorganic)	Within the permitted limit	EU food maximum

ICP-MS is inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Limits are the EU maxima for foodstuffs under Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915.

Pesticide residues

Pesticide residues are the headline test for a dried botanical. They are tested and are within the maximum residue levels (MRLs) set for food under EU law (Regulation (EC) No 396/2005). Testing covers the pesticide groups relevant to dried botanical ingredients.

Maximum residue levels for foods of plant origin are set under Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Every batch is tested before release.

Microbiological safety

Microbiological safety is tested to the criteria applied to food supplements. Overall counts stay within limits and the specified pathogens were each absent.

Test	Result
Total Aerobic Microbial Count	Within the limit
Yeasts and Moulds	Within the limit
Escherichia coli (E. coli)	Absent (not found)
Salmonella (per 25 g)	Absent (not found)
Staphylococcus aureus	Absent (not found)

Microbiological criteria for food supplements apply. Every batch is tested before release.
