Indian gooseberry

Indian gooseberry, also known as amla or Phyllanthus emblica, is a fruit native to India and other parts of Southeast Asia. It’s been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. They are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and other nutrients, making them a popular ingredient in herbal formulations and dietary supplements.

Indian gooseberry seems to work by reducing total cholesterol levels, including the fatty acids called triglycerides, without affecting levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL or “good”) cholesterol.
