Amla powder comes from the Indian gooseberry fruit. Stir one to two teaspoons into water, yogurt, or a smoothie once daily. The fruit supplies a dense amount of natural vitamin C and antioxidants. Consistent use supports digestion, immune function, and skin health.
Stop the powder at least two weeks before any scheduled surgery. Amla can slow blood clotting. Do not mix it with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs such as warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel unless a doctor supervises you. Speak with a healthcare provider first if you have a bleeding disorder or take blood pressure medication.
