Organic Amla
Rejuvenation is now available in North America with the new, 3,500 year old superfruit from India.
Traditionally regarded as the best of all herbs to maintain youthfulness of body and mind, Amla is used in Ayurveda as a potent rasayana, a dietary supplement or practice promoting rejuvenation,mental and physical health, as well as providing a defense against aging and challenging environmental factors.
The difference is FRESH. Avesta Organic Amla is made from FRESH Amla, not the usual dried Amla fruits. The difference in using fresh fruit is a higher Vitamin C and gallotannin content then other Amla products. With a superior ORAC value of over 1,700 per serving, Avesta Organic Amla is naturally rich in Vitamin C, gallotannins, gallates, polyphenols and other powerful, plant bioactives.
The Science of Amla
The potent in vitro antioxidant activity of Amla is higher than that of many other fruits and vegetables, including pomegranate juice, oranges, black grape juice, broccoli, and tomatoes. The antioxidant activity of Amla is superior to vitamin C and is largely due to its rich content of tannins which have potent antioxidant activity. Animal studies demonstrated that Amla and its tannins produce significant antioxidant activity and a clinical study suggests that Amla increases the bioavailability of vitamin C.
A number of scientific experiments have shown that Amla lives up to its high reputation as a rasayana by ameliorating the effects of various stressors on the gastrointestinal tract3 and central nervous system14 and increasing their levels of detoxifying/antioxidant enzymes. Evidence from traditional use, studies in animals, and clinical studies all suggest that Amla may help to support healthy gastrointestinal function. Clinical studies in normal subjects and in animals also suggest that a diet supplemented with Amla may help to support healthy cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range, and both in vitro and animal studies have shown that Amla may help to support healthy immune system function.
