Trikatu Tablets

Trikatu Tablets are a classical Ayurvedic blend composed of three powerful pungent herbs Shunthi (Zingiber officinale), Maricha (Piper nigrum), and Pippali (Piper longum) renowned for their digestive, metabolic, and detoxifying properties. 
This formulation is a cornerstone in Ayurvedic therapeutics for stimulating Agni (digestive fire), enhancing bioavailability of nutrients and medicines, and removing Ama (toxins) from the body.
Trikatu acts as a Yogavahi, potentiating the action of other herbs and formulations. It supports not only digestion and metabolism but also respiratory health, weight management, and immune function.
