Amla contains some of the highest amounts of Vitamin C in natural form. Vitamin C is a critical vitamin for general health, for basic body function as well as the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of the body.
This powerful antioxidant provides support for your immune system, and protection from a number of diseases.
As an immune system enhancer, vitamin C provides protection from oxidation, aging, cancer, and the harmful effects of pollution. It also prevents infections. It has been shown to reduce cholesterol, reduce high blood pressure, and prevent atherosclerosis.
Amla Berries are also known as Indian gooseberries (Phyllanthus emblica, syn. Emblica officinalis). They're found on small trees that grow throughout India. The Indian gooseberry is a deciduous tree of the Euphorbiaceae family.
Amla is referred to in historic texts as an herb that promotes longevity and induces nourishment. It's been a very important herb in Ayurveda for more than 3,000 years. |
