The gallic acid data from that IOVS paper is compelling, but I’d push back slightly on how it’s framed — in vitro inhibition of fibrosis is a long way from demonstrated IOP reduction in patients. Curious whether there are any human trials in the pipeline following those findings.

The trabecular meshwork angle is what got my attention here. My father has open-angle glaucoma and his ophthalmologist has never mentioned anything about adjunct support. Has anyone actually brought up Triphala research like the IOVS study with their eye specialist?

The chemistry section here is genuinely well done — chebulinic acid inhibiting retinal lipid peroxidation is the kind of specificity I was hoping to find. It’s not just ‘ancient wisdom’; there’s an actual molecular explanation for why Haritaki’s contribution to Triphala might matter for eye health specifically.

My uncle’s ophthalmologist recently mentioned that oxidative stress is now considered a primary driver in both glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy — which is exactly the space where Triphala’s antioxidant profile seems relevant. Has anyone here tried discussing the IOVS findings directly with their eye doctor?

The antioxidant data linking Amalaki to lens protection makes sense given its vitamin C content.

Same here.
