Introduction
Is there a single fruit that combines ancient wisdom, nutrient-rich power, and modern gut health science? Amla, or Indian gooseberry, checks all the boxes.

-
Clinical trials show amla extract significantly reduces heartburn and GERD symptoms

Its sour taste and bioactive compounds stimulate digestive enzymes for better food absorption
