Amla, or Indian gooseberry, contains up to 20 times more Vitamin C than an orange by weight. But its benefits extend far beyond this single nutrient.

A Complete Wellness Package

Amla is rich in:

  • Vitamin C — essential for immune function and collagen synthesis
  • Bioflavonoids — enhance Vitamin C absorption and provide antioxidant protection
  • Tannins — support digestive health and nutrient absorption

Traditional Uses

In Ayurveda, amla is classified as a rasayana — a rejuvenating herb that promotes longevity, strengthens immunity, and supports healthy aging. It's a key ingredient in Chyawanprash, one of the oldest documented herbal formulations.

Modern Applications

Today, amla powder is used in:

  • Daily immunity tonics
  • Hair and skin care formulations
  • Smoothie and juice blends
  • Capsule supplements

Quality Matters

Not all amla powders are created equal. Look for products that use sun-dried (not heat-processed) fruits to preserve the delicate Vitamin C content. Da Sabarr's amla powder undergoes rigorous testing to ensure maximum potency.
