Triphala and Probiotics

7 years ago
I use an Indian Ayurvedic herb combination for my stomach called Triphala. Long story but the lore is that if you take Triphala every day you will live to be over 100, and healthy. (That is the lore, but I do feel better.)

There are also some new studies that say probiotics and triphala extend fruit fly lifespan by 60%. For example, https://nutritionreview.org/2018/05/probiotic-and-triphala-combination-extends-fruitfly-lifespan-by-60-percent/
.
Maybe for humans you don't get 60%, but still, it seems worth it. And it seems to help. Only, Triphala costs maybe $12-15 a pound in the US, depending on the brand. For example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M8J94RI/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&smid=AL5GSC2FMYVAD&th=1 .

I looked on Mercado Libre and it was maybe 5-6 times as much. (I think they order it from the US instead of ordering it straight from India).
https://articulo.mercadolibre.cl/MLC-467752344-vitaminas-triphala-_JM?quantity=1 .

I am bringing some with me in my bags, but eventually it will run out. And they also recommend pro-biotics. So this is maybe a long shot, but does anyone know a better source for herbs and probiotics than Mercado Libre?
