No need to apologize, sweetie. I just thought you knew I took it from all my posts on what I take!
I started it about 3 months ago. I started with a brand called Himalaya pure hurbs and took 500 mg a day, then 500mg 2 times a day. It worked well for me in the beginning. But then I felt I needed more as my C got worse this past month. So I changed brands to one that had more mg in a tablet. So now I am taking Planetary Formulas which is probably the one you ordered because this brand also has 1000 mg in one tablet. I started at 1 tablet 2 times a day, and am now at 2000mg 2 times a day. For a total of 4000mg a day.Thats what the bottle directions recommend.
I honestly feel that when I was first taking the triphala it was working and that it will work for you. I think my battle with C right now is more stress related as it started the same time I began a new job which I do not like, find very stressful and tiring, and I am very depressed and struggling with my mistake to leave my old job. I made a huge mistake and I think this stress and regret is the main cause of my current C.
When I first began the triphala is was great. So, have hope that it will work for you. And yes, I believe it is much better for you than the oxypowder.
Even though I was taking less with the Himalaya brand (those tablets are only 250 mg and the directions say to take a total of 1000mg a day) I may try them again. Even though it is a lot less mg, maybe my body liked that brand better. Who knows.
You know, I'm reading the labels on the two bottles now and the ingredients of the triphala are totally different! I thought triphala was the same three herbs! The Hamalaya says: Amalaki, Vibhitaka, and Haritak and that's all.
The Planetary brand says:Chebulic Myrobalan fruit, amla fruit, and belleric myrobalan fruit, plus this one has vit C, and some modified cellulose gums, stearic acid, microcrystalline cellulose, colloidal silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate.
I am totally confused now. I thought the fruits were suppose to be the same. Do you think these are the same fruits but different names for them?  I'll need to do some internet researching and ask at the HFS tomorrow! They probably won't be able to help much though.
Which brand did you get?
