Pilex | 100 tablets | Himalaya

Pilex by Himalaya

Looking for a classic Ayurvedic herbal supplement? Pilex by Himalaya is a tablet containing nine plant-based and mineral ingredients, with guggul as the main active ingredient. It is one of the staple products in the Himalaya range and is intended for those who want to follow a traditional herbal formula as part of a healthy lifestyle without having to source individual herbs themselves.

What Pilex is

Pilex is not a single herb, but a carefully formulated combination of nine ingredients. The formula is based on guggul (Commiphora wightii), supplemented with Berberis aristata, amla (Emblica officinalis), Terminalia bellirica, Cassia fistula, Bauhinia variegata, Mesua ferrea, neem seeds (Melia azadirachta) and purified shilajit. The formula is also traditionally prepared with ingredients including Mimosa pudica and Acorus calamus, herbs used in the preparation of Ayurvedic medicines. Amla, one of the ingredients, may contribute to good digestion*. These plants have long been used together in Ayurvedic formulas, with each herb playing its own role.

Guggul as the main active ingredient

The main active ingredient in Pilex is guggul, with 260 mg per tablet. Guggul is the resin of Commiphora wightii, a shrub that naturally grows in the arid regions of India and the Middle East. In Ayurveda, the traditional Indian herbal system, guggul has been used for centuries and is considered one of the classic resinous herbs within this system. The formula also contains amla (Emblica officinalis), an Indian gooseberry, Berberis aristata, Terminalia bellirica and the other ingredients.

How to take Pilex

Many people wonder how to use it: take one tablet twice a day after a meal with water. The bottle contains 100 tablets, which is enough for about fifty days at the recommended dosage of two tablets per day. The tablets contain a blend of plant-based and mineral ingredients, combined according to a classic Ayurvedic recipe. Pilex is not intended for children under 18 or for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.

Himalaya and the Ayurvedic tradition

Himalaya has been working with Ayurvedic herbs since 1930 and combines this knowledge with production in accordance with GMP guidelines. The individual herbs are carefully tested for identity and purity, ensuring that every batch has the same composition. Pilex has been one of the classic products in the range for many years. This emphasis on a consistent, tested composition is one of the reasons the product has been around for decades.

In short: Pilex is an Ayurvedic nine-herb formula with guggul as the main active ingredient. It is a convenient way to take this classic Himalaya product: twice a day after a meal with a full glass of water. There is no need to work with individual herbs yourself: everything is already included in the tablet in a consistent ratio.
