HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Amla Berry Smoothie Booster by Organic Traditions

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 16, 2026

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This powder has 2 active ingredients, both forms of organic amla berry (Indian gooseberry): a hydroethanolic extract and a CO₂ extract. Both deliver the same plant compounds in different preparation methods.

The product also contains silicon dioxide as an inactive ingredient.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Indian Gooseberry's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Indian Gooseberry for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Dyslipidemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for amla berry is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for acid reflux (GERD) and for high triglycerides (dyslipidemia) — meaning there's some supporting research, but it's not conclusive.

For high cholesterol and hair loss (androgenic alopecia), we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate it either way.

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 berry is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety hasn't been studied as thoroughly. The safety data for supplement doses is limited, so it's best to avoid it if you're pregnant.

During breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable safety information — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you. In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, one person reported fatigue, and three reported musculoskeletal pain.

These were uncommon events.

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants), diabetes medications, aspirin, or clopidogrel (Plavix). All four drug types interact with amla berry at moderate severity.

The biggest risks are increased bleeding and low blood sugar.

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.

Amla Berry Smoothie Booster might help with acid reflux or high triglycerides if the evidence pans out for you, but it's not a sure thing. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, aspirin, or clopidogrel, this product isn't safe to use without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first — it can increase bleeding risk or lower your blood sugar too much.

Avoid it in pregnancy, and talk with your healthcare provider about breastfeeding safety.

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 Berry Smoothie Booster by Organic Traditions: Common Questions

Does Amla Berry Smoothie Booster by Organic Traditions interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Amla Berry Smoothie Booster 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 Berry Smoothie Booster contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Is amla berry safe during pregnancy?
No — there isn't enough safety data for supplement doses in pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it. Talk with your doctor if you're pregnant or planning to be.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
The safety data during breastfeeding is too limited to know either way. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people tolerate it well. In trials, a small number reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, and even fewer reported fatigue or muscle pain — but these were uncommon.
Does amla berry actually help with heartburn?
The evidence suggests it might — it's rated possibly effective for acid reflux. That means there's some research backing it, but it's not proven.
Will this help my cholesterol?
It's rated possibly effective for high triglycerides, so there's some evidence it may help. For general high cholesterol, we don't have enough reliable data to say either way.
