Amla is an extract of Emblica officinalis, a fruit used for multiple purposes in Ayurvedic medicine for nearly 5,000 years. It is primarily used in Ayurveda as a rasayana, or anti-aging compound, significantly reducing inflammation and fighting chronic diseases. It is also used to treat atherosclerosis, diabetes, joint pain, and eye problems. Amla is packed with nutrients such as minerals, amino acids, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids, and has been shown to exhibit stronger antioxidant activity than vitamin C, as it contains polyphenols.
The powerful antioxidant activity of amla extract also helps prevent cholesterol oxidation, a process that leads to atherosclerosis. Clinical trials have shown that this extract can significantly improve cholesterol levels by lowering LDL levels and increasing HDL levels. It can also help lower blood sugar levels, which helps maintain cardiovascular health. Finally, amla has traditionally been used to fight various infections, including upper respiratory tract infections.
Amla is ideal for those who want the benefits of a powerful antioxidant from a whole extract offering a wide range of health benefits or for those looking for a natural alternative for healthy cholesterol or the anti-aging benefits offered by amla.
