Right now I'm not using Triphala (powder, not capsules) because the stuff I have on hand has psyllium in it. I had been using "Tri-Cleanse" (Planetary Formulas) or "Rejuve Powder" (Gaia Herbs). Hard to say exactly how much I was taking because the powders are blends of ingredients, and even the triphala had different names.
Rejuve Powder has: Triphala Powder Extract ("wildcrafted Ayurvedic herb extract blend consisting of Emblica officinalis, Terminalia bellerica, Terminalia chebula").
I have no idea if it's safe for long term use. But I think it has a long history of use in India, and I had positive results from it. You can Google the ingredients to find out more--I don't really know that much.
It is listed on the label as a "cleanser"---supposedly "strengthening digestion." It is usually blended with fiber supplement ingredients, but is also available by itself.
