HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Amla Extract Powder 1000 mg by BulkSupplements.com

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 11, 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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Amla Fruit Extract at 1,000 mg per serving. Amla, also known as Indian gooseberry, is a traditional fruit used in herbal medicine.

The only inactive ingredient listed is dextrin, a binder that helps form the powder.

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).

Amla has been studied for a couple of conditions. For gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — chronic heartburn — it's rated possibly effective based on available evidence.

For high cholesterol (dyslipidemia), it's also possibly effective. However, for high cholesterol specifically (hypercholesterolemia) and male-pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia), the evidence is insufficient to draw a reliable conclusion.

If you're considering amla for any of these uses, talk with your pharmacist about what the science actually supports.

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 supplement safety at higher doses is less studied. The safety data for supplement-strength doses is limited, so caution is advised.

A small number of trial participants reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, and a few others reported fatigue or musculoskeletal pain, but these were uncommon. There isn't enough safety information during breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it if you're nursing.

For pregnancy, there is not enough data to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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 this product, double-check if you use blood thinners (anticoagulants), aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), or any other antiplatelet drug — amla may increase bleeding risk. Also check if you take diabetes medications — amla can lower blood sugar and might require a dose adjustment.

Both interactions are moderate severity. Use the medication checker below to verify your exact prescriptions.

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 may work for GERD and high cholesterol, but the evidence is still modest. The real issue here is interactions: if you take blood thinners, aspirin, diabetes drugs, or antiplatelet medications, you need to check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

The supplement is generally well tolerated, but the safety data at supplement doses isn't robust.

Amla Fruit Extract4 drug types · 208 drugs

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 Extract Powder 1000 mg by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Amla Extract Powder 1000 mg by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Amla Extract Powder 1000 mg 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 Extract Powder 1000 mg 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.
Is amla safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data in pregnancy to say either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice. For breastfeeding, there's too little reliable information, so it's best to avoid it while nursing.
What is amla extract used for?
Research shows it's possibly effective for GERD (chronic heartburn) and high cholesterol. For male-pattern hair loss and high cholesterol levels specifically, the evidence is insufficient to make a clear claim.
Can amla cause side effects?
In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, and a few reported fatigue or muscle pain — but these were uncommon. It's generally well tolerated as a food, though supplement safety at higher doses is less studied.
Why do I need to check my diabetes medications before taking amla?
Amla can lower blood sugar on its own. If you're already taking a diabetes drug that does the same thing, your blood sugar could drop too much. Your doctor or pharmacist may need to adjust your medication dose.
Why is amla a concern if I take aspirin or blood thinners?
Amla reduces how well platelets clump together and lengthens bleeding time slightly. Combined with a blood thinner or aspirin, this could raise your bleeding risk. It's important to discuss this with your pharmacist before starting.
What's the inactive ingredient in this product?
The only inactive ingredient listed is dextrin, a binder that helps form the powder.
