Good nutrition requires a balance of the six ayurvedic tastes — sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent. Amla is one of just a handful of herbs that contain five of the six taste categories — all except salty. Such balanced nutrition means that amla helps balance all three of the basic operating principles of mind and body — vata, pitta and kapha.

Amla produces total health benefits. It helps:

Strengthen the mind, eyes, heart, skin, and digestion

Helps build muscle and boost cellular regeneration

Promotes a positive nitrogen balance for improved growth of muscle tissue

It is a precise, time-tested herbal formula

Charaka, author of the Charaka Samhita, an ancient treatise on ayurveda, says that amla is the best among rejuvenative herbs.
