Has there been research into this treatment?
There have been no papers published on Triple Tinnitus Formula as a supplement, but there have been a number published on its component parts.
What does the research say?
There is no evidence that any of the known components of this supplement are effective for treating tinnitus.[2-14]
Although some of the components are thought of as safe, some may be harmful including Vitamin B6 and Uva ursi (if taken for prolonged periods)[4],[12] and green tea in large doses[15]. Uva ursi and buchu should be avoided in pregnancy[11] [12].
Although independent evidence is limited, what there is does not show that the components of this supplement are effective for tinnitus and that there may be risks involved in taking this supplement. We would suggest you talk to your GP before taking any new medication or supplement.
“Dietary supplements should not be recommended to treat tinnitus.”[16]
Note that the retailer’s website states “Products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.”[1]
