Unlike many superfoods being introduced today, the chemical profile of amalaki cannot be limited to one star ingredient or beneficial compound. Instead, research has discovered an unparalleled spectrum of powerful anti-oxidants, polyphenols, tannins, and bioflavanoids.
 
Amalaki also contains a high concentration of amino acids, trace minerals and other beneficial phytonutrients. Amalaki contains the potent phenolic combination of ellagic acid, gallic acid, and emblicanin A+B. Together, these polyphenols are important for reducing cellular and oxidative stress, destroying immune-damaging free-radicals, and supporting the overall detoxification of the body. The bioflavanoids rutin, quercetin and powerful enzyme superoxide dismutase also contribute to the overall anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and youth-promoting qualities of this remarkable fruit.
 
In addition to these anti-oxidants, amalaki is widely thought to contain the most concentrated natural source of Vitamin C in nature. The fruit is also host to rare ‘mighty- molecules’ known as ascorbagins. Part of the tannin family, ascorbagins create a protective bond around the Vitamin C molecules, making amalaki’s source of Vitamin C more bio-available and bio-stable than synthetic varieties. Just a taste…
 
 In addition to being heralded for its youth-promoting and rejuvenative qualities, Ayurveda describes amalaki as a potent anti-inflammatory, digestive aid, elixir for the skin and hair, and metabolic enhancer. This has been extensively validated by peer-reviewed research in the modern scientific community. Over the past 50 years, amalaki has been the subject of hundreds of scientific studies, ranging from its role in fighting cancer to its ability to increase healthy cholesterol (HDL), reduce wrinkles, and improve eyesight.
 
Amalaki has one of the richest and most documented legacies of any fruit known today.  In fact, Amalaki has been revered as the “Nurse”, the “Great Rejuvenator”, and the “Fruit of Immortality” for centuries, due to its numerous healing properties and its ability nourish the body on all levels.
