I've done a good amount of research on Triphala and take it occasionally. I've read in numerous places that it is A.) Not habit-forming, and B.) Can actually tone/strengthen the colon.This sounds too good to be true? Is there any harm in taking too much triphala?My current daily regimen is 2 Miralax/day, plus triphala as needed. Thanks

I don't think there is a lot of scientific investigation on exactly what it does. (or even what they would measure that they call tone).http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/82486.cfm has most of the scientific info and it isn't much.

Why would you need to 'tone' you colon??Its not that your colon needs a trip to the gym!!!
