The Science of Amla
The potent in vitro antioxidant activity of Amla4-8 is higher than that of many other fruits
and vegetables, including pomegranate juice,9,10 oranges, black grape juice,9 broccoli,
and tomatoes.11 The antioxidant activity of Amla is superior to vitamin C7 and is largely
due to its rich content of tannins which have potent antioxidant activity.12-17 Animal
studies demonstrated that Amla and its tannins produce significant antioxidant
activity 13,14,18-21 and a clinical study suggests that Amla increases the bioavailability of
vitamin C.22
A number of scientific experiments have shown that Amla lives up to its high reputation
as a rasayana by ameliorating the effects of various stressors on the gastrointestinal
tract3 and central nervous system14 and increasing their levels of detoxifying/antioxidant
enzymes.14,19 Evidence from traditional use,23-25 studies in animals,26-31 and clinical studies
all suggest that Amla may help to support healthy gastrointestinal function.32,33
Clinical studies in normal subjects34 and in animals36-38 also suggest that a diet
supplemented with Amla may help to support healthy cholesterol levels that are already
within the normal range, and both in vitro39,40 and animal studies41 have shown that Amla
may help to support healthy immune system function.
