Organic Amla is Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis) farmed without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Ayurveda relies on it as a concentrated source of vitamin C and antioxidants.
People use the fruit in powder, juice, or capsule form, mixing it with water or food. The organic option helps avoid pesticide residues.
Amla can lower blood sugar and blood pressure, so check your levels if you take medication for either. It also slows blood clotting. Stop taking it two weeks before surgery and do not use it with blood thinners like warfarin. Large amounts may upset your stomach because of the high vitamin C content.
