Moderate Evidence

Evidence Summary

Amla is a fruit extract from the Indian gooseberry tree, rich in polyphenols and vitamin C. Multiple clinical trials show it significantly lowers total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL while reducing visceral fat and waist circumference in obese adults. It also acts as a potent antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress markers — a benefit seen even in patients with serious kidney disease. One trial found it suppressed cough during bronchoscopy as effectively as a standard cough suppressant. Most benefits appeared within 90 days at doses of 500 mg twice daily.
