FHill28: If you can stomach the mud-like taste, it’s a very good product.

Anabananamarie: This is a very powerful and highly quality herb. It should be respected.

I write this not to cause fear but only to bring awareness and share my experience.

I made a tea with 1/4 tsp in 12oz of water for a month and then increased it to 1/2tsp in 12oz of water for another month. I experienced beautiful and super vivid dreams. Beautiful visuals during meditation as well as just before waking up in the mornings. However I also experienced quite a bit of anxiety. I did not realize it was related to the tea I making until I had been drinking the tea for almost 60 days. I stopped taking it and I began to feel better about 2 weeks after I stopped. T
Again this is a high quality herb. I will try taking it again at some point and maybe keep the dose at 1/4 tsp or less per day. Thank Banyan Botanicals for providing such an amazing product.

Sattva: Banyan is a wonderful company and I use many of their products. The most recent thing I tried was this Haritaki powder. It is clean and good quality, but apparently some people don't do well with Haritaki, something I didn't know until i tried it. I seem able to take Triphala without issue but the straight Haritaki was too strong for my taste buds and stomach, or something. It's a wonderful herb to use, but has a very strong bitter taste so you may want to put it into veg caps rather than drinking it down as loose powder.

Scott PickeringScott Pickering: I've been using this for a few weeks now, it tastes terrible but the first time I used it, it definitely uh... Cleared me out... With a velocity!
Don't try this without being within waddling distance of a bathroom!
Don't say I didn't warn you...

Other than that, I'm not sure if it does much else, I think I'm feeling a little better, sleeping a little better with slightly more energy throughout the day, but I am using other supplements as well so it's hard to pin point what exactly is doing what.

So since the bowel movements have become less.. explosive, and I haven't really struggled with constipation anyways since I started eating healthier, or at least I thought I hadn't 🤔 I will continue to take it simply for that fully evacuated feeling. I feel lighter throughout the day and less bloated.
I'll probably get Triphala next time as it's a mix between Amalaki, Bibhitaki and Haritaki.

I started out taking this on an empty stomach before breakfast but it left me with a knot in my gut that I couldn't really shake for the rest of the day.
So I would recommend using this after you've eaten, or with food and on a day you can sit at home and judge how...

HB Dude: I had first taken this for days and didn't notice much of a difference. I was close to leaving this a poor review for effectiveness, but that soon changed, so you got to give this a good couple of weeks experimenting to really assess how it works. You can't necessarily try it once and expect mind-blowing results. It was only when I stopped taking it that I realized it had been working. It's that subtle for me. When I stopped taking it, I was so tired all day and caffeine wasn't doing anything. Then I thought, "Tomorrow I'm going to try that Haritaki stuff again because I didn't feel this tired on it."

I went back to taking it and I had more energy throughout the day. It's just that subtle that I only notice the lack of energy on the days I don't take it. Because the energy given isn't something mind-blowing like an espresso shot or red bull. It's more like a clearer mind kind of energy. In that respect, it gives me more clarity and gives me a pleasant feeling where I'm not in a bad mood, I'm simply content. Therefore, this is probably good for meditation or if you're going for a walk in nature somewhere. It also helps me with a clearer mind for work when focus is needed....

kalyan: I bought this products regularly and it was alway good quality however this time it didn’t test same and looks like was not pure Haritaki. Assuming this time tree was not good or something mix It was testing like Trifala.
