Himalaya Amla is a pure herb extract. Amla or Amalaki contains the highest natural source of Vitamin C and cytokine like substances identified as zeatin, z. riboside, z. nucleotide. Amla also has naturally occurring bioflavonoids. It is believed that what gold is to the minerals, amla is to the herbs and is the most widely used herb in the ayurvedic system of medicine.
Amla contains 720 mg of Vitamin C for every 100g of fresh pulp or up to 900 mg of Vitamin C for every 100g of pressed juice (of a heat-stable form which does not lose its value through processing.) Since Amla also contains tannins, the dried form retains most of the vitamin content.

Amla Facts:
Botanical Name : : EMBLICA OFFICINALIS
Family Name: : EUPHORBIACEAE
Common Name: : INDIAN GOOSEBERRY, AMLA, AMALAKI
The amla tree is a middle sized deciduous tree found wild throughout tropical India. The tree is extensively cultivated in many parts of India for its fruits.
The amla fruit is round and light greenish yellow. Its primary taste is sour and astringent. Secondary tastes are sweet, bitter and pungent. The Amla fruit's properties include being an aperient, carminative, diuretic, aphrodisiac, laxative, astringent, tonic, antipyretic and refrigerant. If you drink water after eating amla, it feels very cold and sweet. While all parts of the tree are used in medicinal preparations, it is the fruit which has the main medicinal value.
Amla in Ayurveda:
The Indian Gooseberry has been given a very important place in Ayurveda. In ancient India it was believed that Amrit/ Ambrosia (heavenly nectar) contained all rasas thereby, it could impart immortality. In that sense Amalaki and Hareetaki stand next to Amrit since they exhibit five rasas. In Ayurveda, the amla fruit by itself is considered a rasayana for pitta.
It has been mentioned in the Charaka Samhita that Of all the rasayanas (ayurvedic formulations revered for their positive influence on the physiology) Amalaki is considered one of the most potent and nourishing. The Charaka Samhita says, "Amalaki is the best among rejuvenative herbs."
Charaka specifically mentioned that it is a great rasayana that helps protect people from disease and keeps away the manifestations of premature ageing. .
Amla Research and Clinical Studies
Amla has been identified to have potent antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antistress properties. Apart from its medicinal use it is widely used in traditional hair and skin care formulations. Aside from Vitamin C, Amla's mineral and vitamin contents include calcium, Phosphorous, iron, carotene, carbohydrate, thiamine, riboflavin. Its strong antioxidant properties are due to its small molecular weight tannoid complexes.
In a study carried out by scientists at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nagasaki University, in Japan, amla extracts were found to be able to prevent the growth of cancerous cells in the stomach, skin and womb (Biol Pharm Bull. 2004 Feb;27(2):251-5).
Scientists from the Biochemistry Division, National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad, in India, found that amla is able to block a chemical called aldose reductase, which has been heavily implicated in causing cataracts in diabetic patients (Mol Vis. 2004 Mar 12;10:148-54).
Several animal studies have shown that amla can help prevent a toxic build-up of heavy metals – caused by frequent exposure to metals like aluminium, lead and nickel. When vitamin C alone was used – equivalent to that found in amla fruit – only partial protection from heavy metals was provided.
However, when the whole amla fruit was used almost complete protection was achieved. This indicates that it is the combined action of the various ingredients found in the fruit that effectively helps shield DNA from heavy metal poisoning (Dhir, H.A. Agarwal; A. Sharma, and G. Talukder. Cancer Letters 59.9 18, 1991; Giri, A.K. Cytologia 51, pp 375-380, 1986).
Clinical studies were conducted to investigate the effect of Amalaki in amlapitta (gastritis syndrome). Amalaki churna was given in 20 cases in a dose of 3g., thrice a day for seven days. The drug was found effective in 85 per cent of cases. Cases of hyperchlorhydria with burning sensation in abdominal and cardiac regions and epigastric pain were benefited.
Scientists at the Division of Pharmacology, Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, India, evaluated the efficacy of Amla fruit against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and thioacetamide (TAA) induced changes in rat liver. Chronic treatment of CCl4 and TAA revealed abnormal histopathology indicative of pre-fibrogenic events. Extract of Amla reversed such alterations with significant regenerative changes suggestive of its preventive role in prefibrogenesis of liver.
