Amalaki (available in capsule form) is high in natural antioxidants, is believed to have the most concentrated source of vitamin C in the plant kingdom. Further, Amalaki is highly bioavailable, meaning the body absorbs nutrients quickly and easily.

Amalaki (Emblica Officinalis) is a small tree that’s native to tropical southeastern Asia. Amalaki produces a small round fruit and is one of nature’s
richest source of antioxidants. Research has shown that the fruit has both antibacterial and antiviral properties.

In the Ayurvedic healing tradition, Amalaki is considered the most powerful rejuvenating medicine. In Sanskrit, Amalaki means “the sustainer,” and it’s used to nourish the blood, skin, liver and bones. It’s frequently recommended for a wide variety of debilitating conditions.
