HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Amla Extract Powder, Organic by Omica Organics

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 extract powder, made from the Indian gooseberry fruit. That's it — there are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.

Amla has been used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine and is now studied for its vitamin C content and antioxidant properties.

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?
  • The label markets general wellness (“General health and rejuvenation support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.
  • 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 is mixed depending on what you're taking it for. It's rated possibly effective for acid reflux (GERD) and for high lipids (dyslipidemia).

For high cholesterol and hair loss (androgenic alopecia), there isn't enough reliable evidence in the data we hold to say whether it works.

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 when eaten as food, but safety data for supplement doses is limited. The safety data advises against taking amla supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe at those doses.

In clinical trials, some people reported stomach upset or indigestion, fatigue, or muscle and joint pain, though these were reported by a small number of participants. Amla is considered safe enough as a food source, but supplement-dose safety hasn't been as thoroughly studied.

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 you take this, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants), aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), or diabetes medications — all are documented to interact with amla at moderate severity. These interactions may increase bleeding or lower your blood sugar too much.

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 extract is worth a conversation if you're interested in digestive or cholesterol support and don't take blood thinners or diabetes medications. If you're on anticoagulants, aspirin, clopidogrel, or any diabetes drug, check with your pharmacist before starting — this supplement can increase bleeding risk and lower blood sugar.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid it, since safety data is too limited.

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, Organic by Omica Organics: Common Questions

Does Amla Extract Powder, Organic by Omica Organics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Amla Extract Powder, Organic 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, Organic 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 extract powder used for?
Amla is studied for acid reflux (GERD) and high lipids, where it's rated possibly effective. Evidence for high cholesterol and hair loss isn't established enough in our data to say whether it works for those.
Can I take amla if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against taking amla supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe at supplement doses. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What side effects does amla have?
In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach upset, indigestion, fatigue, or muscle and joint pain. Amla is generally well tolerated, but supplement-dose safety is less studied than food-source safety.
Does this powder have any fillers or other ingredients?
No — this product is just amla extract powder with no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.
Can I take amla if I'm on diabetes medication?
You need to check with your pharmacist first. Amla can lower blood sugar, so taking it with diabetes drugs raises the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and might mean your medication dose needs to be adjusted.
