HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Healthy Cholesterol with Amla by Terry Naturally

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 Aug 6, 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 supplement contains one active ingredient: amla (Emblica officinalis) fruit extract, also known as Indian gooseberry. The capsule itself is made from inactive ingredients — hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, and vegetable-source magnesium stearate — which are fillers and binders 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: Healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyslipidemia, Hypercholesterolemia, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Metabolic syndrome, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Indian Gooseberry is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dyslipidemia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Indian Gooseberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hypercholesterolemia, Metabolic syndrome.

The research on amla for cholesterol is limited. For gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), it's rated possibly effective based on available evidence.

For dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fat levels), it's also possibly effective. However, for high cholesterol itself, we don't have reliable evidence yet to rate its effectiveness.

For hair loss, the data is insufficient to know 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 is generally well tolerated as a food, but safety data specific to supplement doses is sparse. The safety notes on file advise against taking it in supplement form during pregnancy due to too little data.

During breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information either — so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it. In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, one person reported fatigue, and a few reported muscle or bone 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 Healthy Cholesterol with Amla, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants), antiplatelet drugs, aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), or diabetes medications. Amla may increase bleeding risk with the first group and lower blood sugar with the second, and both effects need monitoring or dose adjustment.

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.

This product may be worth considering if you have GERD or slightly elevated blood fats and you're not on blood thinners or diabetes medications. If you take aspirin, clopidogrel, anticoagulants, or diabetes drugs, check with your own doctor or pharmacist first — amla can affect how these work.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? There's not enough safety data; talk it over with your healthcare provider before starting.

Amla (Emblica officinalis) 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.

Healthy Cholesterol with Amla by Terry Naturally: Common Questions

Does Healthy Cholesterol with Amla by Terry Naturally interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Healthy Cholesterol with Amla 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?
Healthy Cholesterol with Amla 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or nursing?
There isn't enough safety data on amla in supplement doses during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding — they can weigh the risks and benefits for your situation.
Does amla actually work for high cholesterol?
The research on amla for high cholesterol specifically is insufficient — we don't have reliable evidence to say whether it works. It does show possibly effective evidence for GERD and for abnormal blood fat levels, but cholesterol itself needs more study.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
Most people tolerate it well. In clinical trials, a few people reported stomach discomfort, indigestion, fatigue, or muscle pain — but these were uncommon. If you notice any unusual symptoms, stop and talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
What exactly is amla, and why is it in this product?
Amla is the fruit of the Indian gooseberry plant, used traditionally for digestive and cholesterol support. This product uses amla fruit extract as its single active ingredient, relying on research suggesting it may help with GERD and blood fat levels.
Are there any fillers or extra ingredients I should know about?
The capsule contains inactive ingredients: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, and vegetable-source magnesium stearate. These are standard binders and fillers that help the supplement hold together — not active therapeutic ingredients.
