GoodFarm Organic Amla Powder 500g - Premium Quality, Certified Organic | Superfood | Natural body Boost | Vegan | Ayurveda

Almost 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I learned through the book How Not To Die & the authors' website nutritionfacts.org that the best cure was to consume lots of antioxidants. So I started having a berry-based smoothie every day for breakfast, as blueberries are higher than most fruits in antioxidants. I later learned on the website above that amla powder is extremely high in antioxidants, so I started adding it to my smoothies. Within a few months, I had stopped taking my medication, most of the mobility had returned & I no longer had any pain. And it has stayed that way. I'm not saying this was 100% down to amla powder but as a rich source of antioxidants, it must be a significant part.I guess amla powder is amla powder - this appears to be just as good as the other brand I bought. The only downside is that the pouch is difficult to reseal after use. As a fine powder, I found that pouring the powder into an airtight jar would result in quite a lot of it going everywhere except in the jar, so with my previous brand, I opted for keeping it in the resealable pouch. But I have had such difficulties resealing this one that I will have to opt for the jar again. But weight-wise, I suppose this doesn't amount to a huge loss.I should also mention that I have added the powder to smoothies of various flavours & it has always been tasteless - so you can have the health benefits without any aftertaste.

Amla is an Indian Gooseberry, it is rich in nutrients, vitamin C, calcium and iron and helps in boosting the immunity.I have heard about it before but I have never tried it.There is not much information on the packaging but the daily dose is 10g so I assumed a teaspoon. I probably used more than that (Using Maca that way) and mixed it with water and I couldn't finish it.So definitely just less than a half teaspoon and mixed rather with the smoothie! It has a very strange taste, it is bitter, almost peppery but also slightly sour.It can be add to the natural face masks so I might try that as well I think.I can't say I love or hate this product because I didn't really know what to expect and I am just learning to incorporate it in my diet as a natural source of vitamin C.The product seems fresh and of good quality. Only con would be the packaging. I just can't to seem to lock the zip lock bag and after decanting some of the powder into a glass jar I had to close the rest using the sellotape.

As an ibs suffered i heard many benefits of amla powder which i was eager to try been taking it for a few days i have to say it has helped eased my digestive issues such as ibs pains, heartburns and acid reflux which i use to suffer daily. I am keen to try it our for a few more weeks to give a better review. All in all it is organic and a great size which should last for a while. Amla contains anti-inflammatory properties, therefore dried Amla powder can be used to cure hyperacidity and prevent stomach ulcers.

A 500g pack.Not especially nice to the taste.The bag does not reseal very well.Expensive.It does have a long tradition of health benefits.

A very good amount for the price. Dense and heavy. I can't personally comment on the taste as I plan to use this product as a hair mask, it's also not as green as other comments would lead you to believe.
