Amla, which is often referred to as Emblica officinalis, Phyllanthus emblica, amalaki, or Indian gooseberry, is one of the most celebrated herbs in traditional Indian supplements. Amla has strong antioxidant components that support the immune system’s ability to protect the body from foreign invaders.

Taking amla also may help:

  • Enhance the absorption of food
  • Support circulatory processes that optimize the body’s pH
  • Promote biological processes that maintain good liver health
  • Support natural defenses that protect cells from damage
  • Enhance the body’s detoxification system

It is also highly nutritious and is filled with a number of essential vitamins and nutrients such as iron, carotene, chromium and fiber which afford the body with various health benefits. In addition to supplying highly-concentrated amino acids and minerals to the body, it is reputed to provide the highest content of vitamin C of any natural occurring substances in nature.
