“…The studies were published between 1990 and 2019. Most of the studies are relatively small-sized trials but 2 studies 16 , 32 enrolled more than 100 patients. Eight studies enrolled middle aged participants and 2 studies contained young participants as low as teens.…”

“…All of the studies performed triphala effect on obese participants. Five studies 4 , 27 , 30 – 32 showed that triphala significantly decreased body weight, body mass index and waist circumference. However, Kaewthong study 22 found that triphala formula did not improve anthropometric parameters when compared with baseline.…”

“…From these data, it is suggested that triphala used as monotherapy could significantly improve the blood glucose, lipid profile and anthropometric parameters. 4,20,28,32 There were a few adverse effects related to triphala administration but there were no effects on liver and renal function.…”

Aim. The efficacy of triphala on lipid profile, blood glucose and anthropometric parameters and its safety were assessed. Methods. Databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Thai Library Integrated System (ThaiLIS) were systematically searched to review current evidence of randomized controlled trials (RCT) on triphala. RCTs investigating the safety and efficacy of triphala on lipid profile, blood glucose and anthropometric parameters were included. Study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment were performed independently by 2 authors. Results. Twelve studies on a total of 749 patients were included. The triphala-treated groups showed significantly reduced low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglyceride in 6 studies. Five RCTs demonstrated triphala-treated groups led to statistically significant decrease in body weight, body mass index and waist circumference of obese patients. Moreover, triphala significantly decreased fasting blood glucose level in diabetic patients but not in people without diabetes. No serious adverse event associated with triphala was reported during treatment. Conclusions. This review summarized a current evidence to show triphala might improve the lipid profile, blood glucose, the body weight, body mass index and waist circumference under certain conditions. However, large well-designed RCTs are required to confirm this conclusion.
