01

Why supplement?

Marked asPrimarySupporting

Primary

Stabilise vitamin C antioxidant activity with tannins

Hydrolysable tannins coexist with ascorbic acid so fruit powder keeps reducing power after processing. People who fatigue and have fragile gums more often notice complexion and gum comfort after several continuous weeks. Tannins hold reducing power, remaining more stable after processing than ascorbic acid alone.

Supporting

Help steady post-meal blood lipids

Ayurveda treats amla as a metabolic fruit; trials watch triglyceride-related markers. People with a sticky mouth after greasy meals more often notice waist tightness after several continuous weeks. Triglycerides need a lab test; waist tightness can be an everyday check.
