HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Amla 500 mg by Amazing India

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

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: organic Amla (Indian gooseberry) at 500 mg per tablet. The inactive ingredients are rice dextrin, potato starch, organic gum acacia, and organic rice concentrate — all excipients that bind and fill the tablet.

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: digestive system and liver function support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Dyspepsia, Hepatic function, Gastric acid balance, Liver health.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Indian Gooseberry is rated "Possibly Effective" for Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Indian Gooseberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The evidence we hold shows Indian gooseberry is possibly effective for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fat levels). For high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and male-pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia), the evidence isn't strong enough to rate — so we can't say whether it works for those purposes based on the data we have.

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.

Indian gooseberry is generally well tolerated when eaten as food, but safety data for supplement doses is more limited. During pregnancy, there isn't enough reliable safety information — you'll want to talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether to use it.

The same applies to breastfeeding: the data on file advises against it due to insufficient safety information. In clinical trials, a small number of participants reported stomach discomfort or indigestion, and one or two reported fatigue or muscle pain — but these were uncommon.

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.

Organic Amla 500 mg may help with reflux or cholesterol, but it's not risk-free if you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or diabetes medications. The bleeding and low-blood-sugar risks are real.

Check your exact medications before you start, and have a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist — especially if you're on warfarin, aspirin, Plavix, or insulin.

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.

Organic Amla 500 mg by Amazing India: Common Questions

Does Organic Amla 500 mg by Amazing India interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Amla 500 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?
Organic Amla 500 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 it safe to use Organic Amla while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety data to know either way. The safety information on file advises against it during breastfeeding. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you start — they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
What's Indian gooseberry used for?
Based on the evidence we hold, Indian gooseberry is possibly effective for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD — acid reflux) and dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fat levels). For other uses like high cholesterol or hair loss, the evidence isn't strong enough yet to say whether it works.
Can I take this with my diabetes medication?
You should check with your doctor first. Indian gooseberry can lower blood sugar on its own, and combined with diabetes medications, it may raise the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your dose might need adjusting, or your doctor may want to monitor your glucose more closely.
What side effects might I notice?
In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or indigestion. One or two also reported fatigue or muscle pain — but these were uncommon. Most people tolerated it well.
Can I take this if I'm on aspirin or a blood thinner?
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting. Indian gooseberry may increase bleeding risk when combined with aspirin, warfarin, or clopidogrel (Plavix). Clinical research shows it reduces platelet clumping and lengthens bleeding time — effects that matter if you're already taking blood-thinning drugs.
