Question 1

Does this product contain lead?

Accepted Answer

Banyan does not intentionally add lead to any products. There is an esoteric class of Ayurvedic medicines that uses metals for healing called Rasa Shastra, but Banyan does not produce or carry these types of products.Lead is an element that exists in nature.  Lead is widely distributed in the environment and may be found naturally in the earth, soil, and water as a result of geologic deposits of lead. Plants grown in soils containing lead can uptake lead into parts of the plants. Another source of lead in the environment has been through human activities such as the use of leaded gasoline.

Question 2

Why are there added fillers in the tablets?

Accepted Answer

Our Triphala tablets are 500 mg each and they contain an equal amount of our certified organic Amalaki, Bibhitaki and Haritaki fruit. Our tablets also contain other ingredients from natural sources which include organic rice flour and organic gum acacia. These ingredients are used to bind the powders together and help everything flow through the tablet presses. Our Triphala tablets are free of gluten, soy and dairy. They contain no animal products and they are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. We also offer organic Triphala powder without any excipients, and Triphala liquid extract, as alternative choices.
