HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Amla Extract by Herbadiet
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
Herbadiet Amla Extract contains 2 active ingredients: amla and amla fruit extract. Both are from the Indian gooseberry plant.
The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Amla is possibly effective for acid reflux (GERD) and for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia) based on the evidence we hold. For male-pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia) and very high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), the evidence available to us is insufficient to say whether it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Amla is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety hasn't been studied as thoroughly. For supplement doses specifically, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best to avoid it.
A small number of people in clinical trials reported stomach discomfort (epigastric discomfort or dyspepsia), and single reports came in for fatigue and muscle or joint pain. There is too little reliable safety information about amla during breastfeeding, so the available data advises against it.
We don't hold pregnancy safety data for amla — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or planning to be.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Herbadiet Amla Extract, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants), aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), other antiplatelet drugs, or diabetes medications — amla may increase bleeding risk or lower your blood sugar further.
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 and high cholesterol, but it can increase bleeding risk with blood thinners and aspirin, and raise the risk of low blood sugar with diabetes medications. If you take any of these drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.
Avoid it during breastfeeding, and talk with your healthcare provider if you're pregnant.

Amla Extract by Herbadiet Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Herbadiet Amla Extract interacts with blood thinners and diabetes medications through its amla and amla fruit extract content.
The most serious concern is a moderate risk of bleeding with anticoagulants (blood thinners), antiplatelet drugs, aspirin, and clopidogrel (Plavix). Research on this risk is mixed, but clinical studies show that amla at 500 mg taken once or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet clumping by 24% to 36% and increases bleeding time by 3.8 to 5.9 seconds.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Amla also interacts moderately with antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, and similar medications). Taking amla with these drugs may increase your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Clinical research shows amla lowers blood glucose on its own and can do so further when combined with diabetes medications, so dose adjustments to your diabetes drugs might be needed.
Altogether, these interactions span 208 individual medications. If you take any blood thinner, antiplatelet drug, aspirin, clopidogrel, or a diabetes medication, check your exact drugs using the search tool on this page before starting amla.

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.
