Amla is an extract of Emblica officinalis, a fruit that is used in Ayurvedic medicine for a multitude of purposes. Its primary Ayurvedic function is as a Rasayana or an anti-aging compound. The amla fruit is packed with nutrients such as minerals, amino acids, polyphenols, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids which collectively give it its anti-aging abilities. Moreover, amla extracts have been shown to have more powerful antioxidant activity than vitamin C because of their polyphenol content.
Due to their powerful antioxidant activity, amla extracts protect cholesterol against free-radical damage. Clinical trials have shown it to significantly improve the cholesterol profile, lowering LDL and total cholesterol and raising HDL. It may even help reduce blood sugar, making amla a powerful agent for cardiovascular support. Finally, amla has been traditionally used to fight chronic lung infections, upper respiratory infections, and other types of infections. Those searching for powerful antioxidant support from an herb that has widespread health benefits or those looking for natural cholesterol support and anti-aging benefits would benefit from taking Amla.
