Haritaki [Terminalia chebula]
Haritaki is the fruit of the Terminalia chebula tree and has held an important place in Ayurveda for centuries. It is traditionally known as a rejuvenating botanical and is one of the three fruits used in Triphala, one of Ayurveda’s best-known traditional botanical preparations.
The fruit naturally contains polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids, and other phytonutrients that continue to attract scientific interest. Haritaki’s unusually complex plant chemistry helps explain why it has remained part of traditional food and botanical practices for generations.
Within IQed, Haritaki contributes to a broader botanical blend designed around the idea that complete nutrition can include not only protein, vitamins, minerals, and essential fats, but also carefully selected foods and botanicals with a long history of use.
