Indian gooseberry, also called amla, delivers a concentrated dose of vitamin C from a tart fruit with deep roots in Ayurveda. People take it as a powder, capsule, or liquid extract, usually alongside meals.
Amla supports immune function, skin, hair, and digestion. Its antioxidant activity also backs heart and metabolic health.
This fruit can lower blood sugar. Anyone on diabetes medication should watch their levels closely. Large amounts sometimes cause mild stomach upset or acidity.
