Can Triphala Help with Weight Gain? - #13830

Anonymously

I know most people take Triphala for digestion and weight loss, but I recently read that it can also help with weight gain? I’ve always struggled with being underweight, and no matter how much I eat, I just don’t seem to gain much. My digestion is weak, and I feel like my body doesn’t absorb nutrients properly. Someone told me that Triphala for weight gain works because it improves gut health and balances metabolism, but I haven’t seen much info on it. Has anyone actually used Triphala for weight gain? Does it work by increasing appetite, or does it help the body absorb nutrients better? Also, what’s the best way to take Triphala for weight gain—should I have it with ghee or honey? I’m also curious if there are specific types of Triphala that work better for weight gain. A few brands sell it in tablet form, while others recommend taking it as a powder with warm water. Which one is more effective? If anyone has tried Triphala for weight gain and seen results, please share your experience!

Doctors’ responses

Triphala is generally used for digestion and detox, but it can indirectly support weight gain by improving nutrient absorption and gut health. It helps balance metabolism and ensures the body absorbs more from food rather than just passing nutrients through. If your weight issue is due to poor digestion, Triphala may help. How it works: It doesn't directly increase appetite but can strengthen your digestive fire (Agni), helping the body process and use food better. Best way to take it: For weight gain, taking Triphala with ghee or honey may work better because it balances Vata and nourishes tissues. Powder form is usually more effective than tablets as it retains more potency.
