Osterly Market Amla — Indian Gooseberry

Standardised amla extract. One fruit.

Amla fruit extract, standardised, single ingredient — a traditional Ayurvedic tonic without a modern claim bolted onto it.

What it's for

Amla, or Indian gooseberry, is one of the most-used fruits in Ayurvedic practice, traditionally taken as a daily rasayana — a rejuvenating tonic. It is very high in vitamin C and polyphenols. Modern research is mostly small trials on lipid and antioxidant markers, promising but not conclusive.

How to take it

• One capsule daily with food
• No specific timing
• Traditionally taken continuously rather than in courses
• May have a mild blood-thinning effect; mention it before surgery

On the label

• Standardised amla extract
• Single fruit, named
• 120 capsules

What this is not

• Not a vitamin C supplement, though amla contains it
• Not standardised to vitamin C content — the figure varies by harvest
• Not a blend

The straight answer

Amla is often marketed on its vitamin C content, but that varies a great deal between harvests. If you want a known vitamin C dose, buy vitamin C.
