Amla extract is derived from the Indian gooseberry, scientifically known as Emblica officinalis or Phyllanthus emblica. It is a small, round fruit that has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine due to its rich nutrient profile and potential health benefits. Amla extract is typically obtained from the fruit through a process of crushing and extracting the juice or by drying the fruit and making a concentrated powder or liquid extract.
