The Main Ingredient
Amalaki Fruit (Emblica Officinalis)
also known as
GOOSEBERRY, PHYLLANTHUS EMBLICA, EMBLICA, INDIAN GOOSEBERRY, AMLA , DHATRIPHALA AND
VAYASTHA

So What’s in This Fruit, Anyway?
Unlike many superfoods being introduced today, the chemical profile of amalaki cannot be limited to one star ingredient
or beneficial compound. Instead, research has discovered an unparalleled spectrum of powerful anti-oxidants,
polyphenols, tannins, and bioflavanoids. Amalaki also contains a high concentration of amino acids, trace minerals and
other beneficial phytonutrients. Amalaki contains the potent phenolic combination of ellagic acid, gallic acid, and
emblicanin A+B. Together, these polyphenols are important for reducing cellular and oxidative stress, destroying immune-
damaging free-radicals, and supporting the overall detoxification of the body. The bioflavanoids rutin, quercetin and
powerful enzyme superoxide dismutase also contribute to the overall anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and youth-promoting
qualities of this remarkable fruit. In addition to these anti-oxidants, amalaki is widely thought to contain the most
concentrated natural source of Vitamin C in nature. The fruit is also host to rare ‘mighty- molecules’ known as
ascorbagins. Part of the tannin family, ascorbagins create a protective bond around the Vitamin C molecules, making
amalaki’s source of Vitamin C more bio-available and bio-stable than synthetic varieties.
