HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Amla Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: amla fruit extract. Amla, also called Indian gooseberry, is a traditional herbal extract used for digestive and cholesterol support.
The liquid formula also includes glycerin and water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for amla is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for acid reflux (GERD) and possibly effective for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia), meaning early studies suggest promise but more research is needed.
For male pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia) and high cholesterol levels overall (hypercholesterolemia), there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to rate how well it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Amla is generally well tolerated as a food, though supplement safety at higher doses is less studied. The main concern is that there isn't enough safety data for supplement doses during pregnancy and breastfeeding — our data advises against use in both.
In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort, fatigue, or muscle pain, but these were uncommon.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check before starting if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants), antiplatelet medications, aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), or diabetes drugs — amla may increase bleeding risk or lower blood sugar and may require your medication to be adjusted.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, aspirin, or diabetes medications, talk to your pharmacist before starting amla — dose adjustments may be needed. Avoid this supplement if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
For others considering it for acid reflux or cholesterol support, check your medications first.

Amla Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Amla Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra contains amla fruit extract, which interacts with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs — amla may increase your bleeding risk. Clinical research shows it reduces platelet aggregation by 24% to 36% and increases bleeding time by 3.8 to 5.9 seconds, though the evidence is mixed.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
You'll also want to check if you take aspirin or clopidogrel (Plavix), a prescription blood thinner — same bleeding concern applies. If you're on diabetes medications, amla can lower your blood sugar, so you may need a dose adjustment to avoid low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Altogether, these interactions span 207 individual medications.
Before you start this supplement, run your exact medications through the checker below — especially blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, aspirin, and diabetes medicines.

Amla Fruit Extract, Dry
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with clopidogrel 75 mg or ecosprin 75 mg, as a single dose or for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with clopidogrel 75 mg or ecosprin 75 mg alone. Until more is known, use caution when taking Indian gooseberry in combination with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Taking Indian gooseberry with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry fruit or fruit extract alone or in conjunction with antidiabetes medications can lower blood glucose levels. Dose adjustments to diabetes medications might be necessary.
Aspirin
Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with aspirin; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking a single dose of Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with ecosprin 75 mg, or taking a combination of Indian gooseberry 500 mg twice daily plus ecosprin 75 mg once daily for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with ecosprin 75 mg alone.
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with clopidogrel; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking a single dose of Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with clopidogrel 75 mg, or taking a combination of Indian gooseberry 500 mg twice daily plus clopidogrel 75 mg once daily for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with clopidogrel 75 mg alone.
