HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Amla (Amlaki) by Ayur Earth

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
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Amla (Amlaki) by Ayur Earth is a single-ingredient supplement: a blend of Amla fruit extract and Amla fruit powder, also known as Indian gooseberry. The capsule itself contains silicon dioxide and an HPMC shell — both inactive ingredients that help hold the supplement together.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: digestive tract support and skin health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging skin, Dyslipidemia, Hypercholesterolemia, Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), liver function — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Indian Gooseberry is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dyslipidemia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Indian Gooseberry is rated "Possibly Effective" for Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
  • Also on file: Indian Gooseberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Aging skin, Hypercholesterolemia, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The evidence for Amla is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid levels).

For high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and hair loss from male-pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia), the evidence isn't strong enough to rate — we hold insufficient reliable data to say whether it works for those purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Indian Gooseberry

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Amla is generally well tolerated as a food, but safety data at supplement doses is less studied. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best to avoid it.

The same goes for breastfeeding — we don't hold enough reliable safety information to recommend it. In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, and one person each reported fatigue and muscle or joint pain.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Indian Gooseberry

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Indian Gooseberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 208 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Amla, double-check with your own doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants), antiplatelet drugs, aspirin, or clopidogrel (Plavix) — all carry a moderate risk of increased bleeding. If you take diabetes medications, confirm the dose won't need adjustment, since Amla can lower blood sugar.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Amla may help with acid reflux or high triglycerides, but the evidence is limited for other uses. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or aspirin, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it — the interaction risk is real.

Pregnant and breastfeeding people should avoid it. For everyone else, it's generally well tolerated, but check your specific medications first.

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Amla (Amlaki) by Ayur Earth: Common Questions

Does Amla (Amlaki) by Ayur Earth interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Amla (Amlaki) has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Amla (Amlaki) contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is Amla and what's it supposed to do?
Amla is Indian gooseberry fruit in concentrated form. It's possibly effective for acid reflux (GERD) and high triglycerides, but evidence for other claims like hair loss or cholesterol control is too weak to say either way.
Can I take Amla if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it. The same goes for breastfeeding — we don't hold enough information to recommend it safely.
What side effects does Amla have?
It's generally well tolerated. In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach upset or indigestion, and one person each reported fatigue or muscle and joint pain.
Does Amla thin the blood?
Amla can reduce platelet clumping and extend bleeding time, which mimics a blood-thinning effect. This is why it shouldn't be combined with blood thinners or aspirin without doctor approval — the bleeding risk goes up.
Can Amla affect my diabetes medication?
Yes. Amla can lower blood sugar, so if you take diabetes drugs, combining them increases the risk of low blood sugar. Your doctor may need to adjust your medication dose.
