Amalaki is promoted as a highly potent natural antioxidant with detoxing and rejuvenating properties. Of course, Zrii isn’t the only antioxidant juice that exist- it’s simply the one that really works.  It is superior not only because of what’s in it -AMALAKI-but also because of where it comes from.  Specifically, it is the synergy of the amalaki with the other ingredients specific to Ayurvedic Medicine and the quality of sourse for these ingredients that make Zrii different.

Amalaki, according to wikipidia is called, “The Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica, syn. Emblica officinalis) is a deciduous tree of the Euphorbiaceae family. It is known for its edible fruit of the same name.

Wikipeda reports:

Medical research

Indian gooseberry has undergone preliminary research, demonstrating in vitro antiviral and antimicrobial properties.[4] Experimental preparations of leaves, bark or fruit have shown potential efficacy against laboratory models of disease, such as for inflammation, cancer, age-related renal disease, and diabetes.[5][6][7]

A human pilot study demonstrated reduction of blood cholesterol levels in both normal and hypercholesterolemic men.[8]

Although fruits are reputed to contain high amounts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), 445 mg/100g,[9] the specific contents are disputed and the overall antioxidant strength of amla may derive instead from its high density of tannins and other polyphenols.[10] The fruit also contains flavonoids, kaempferol, ellagic acid and gallic acid.[11][12]

Traditional uses

In folk medicine, dried and fresh fruits of the plant are used. All parts of the plant are used in various Ayurvedic herbal preparations, including the fruit, seed, leaves, root, bark and flowers.[13] According to Ayurveda, amla fruit is sour (amla) and astringent (kashaya) in taste (rasa), with sweet (madhura), bitter (tikta) and pungent (katu) secondary tastes (anurasas).[14] Its qualities (gunas) are light (laghu) and dry (ruksha), the post-digestive effect (vipaka) is sweet (madhura), and its energy (virya) is cooling (shita).[15]

According to Ayurveda, amla is specific to pitta due to its sweet taste and cooling energy.[16] However, amla is thought to balance vata by virtue of its sour taste, and kapha due to its astringent taste and drying action. It may be used as a rasayana (rejuvenative]] to promote longevity, and traditionally to enhance digestion (dipanapachana), treat constipation (anuloma), reduce fever (jvaraghna), purify the blood (raktaprasadana), reduce cough (kasahara), alleviate asthma (svasahara), strengthen the heart (hrdaya), benefit the eyes (chakshushya), stimulate hair growth (romasanjana), enliven the body (jivaniya), and enhance intellect (medhya).[17][18]

In Ayurvedic polyherbal formulations, Indian gooseberry is a common constituent, and most notably is the primary ingredient in an ancient herbal rasayana called Chyawanprash.[19] This formula, which contains 43 herbal ingredients as well as clarified butter, sesame oil, sugar cane juice, and honey, was first mentioned in the Charaka Samhita as a premier rasayana or rejuvenative compound.[20][21]

With out too much research, it’s easy to see Zrii could be a valuable addition to the diet of those looking for rejuvenation, enhanced intellect, increased energy or for those suffering with digestive problems. The synergy of the ingredients is such that Zrii can have a very positive effect on both your mental mood and your digestion if used over time. As such, it is a valuable addition to the holistic health practitioner and those seek alternative health enhancements.

One Response to “What is Amalaki? Why does Zrii contain Amalaki?”

  1. Dr. Ron from Zrii Says:

    Hey Gabby-

    Thanks for a nice overview of the Amalaki fruit. I have been studying it for a few months and it definitely has some merit and I have have seen some pretty remarkable things in my clinic thus far as well.

    As you know so many diseases are inflammatory by nature.

    Several ingredients within Zrii including ginger, amalaki and tumeric especially have anit-inflammatory properties.

    I think decreasing cellular inflammation should be included as a vital part of any weight loss regimine.

    Let me know If I can ever be of help to you in any way.

    Dr. Ron
