Promote heart health

Several studies show that amla juice may benefit several aspects of heart health. In one study, 98 participants with abnormal blood lipid levels were given 500 mg of amla extract twice daily for 12 weeks. This lowered their triglyceride, total cholesterol, and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Furthermore, as compared to a control group, individuals who ingested amla extract had a 39% drop in the atherogenic index of the plasma. The atherogenic index assesses the likelihood of excessive cholesterol accumulation in the arteries.

Another small research discovered that taking amla extract for 12 weeks decreased various risk factors for heart disease in 15 persons who were overweight or obese, resulting in lower cholesterol levels and inflammation. Furthermore, some research suggests that amla extract may lower blood pressure, which is another major risk factor for heart disease. Keep in mind, however, that these studies look at the effects of highly concentrated amla extract dosages rather than amla juice. More research is needed to discover whether amla juice has similar advantages for heart health.
