Amla Supplements: Organic Amla Capsules or Triphala Capsules?
So, you’re thinking of trying amla? If you’ve looked at a few labels for this small, sour fruit of the Phyllanthus emblica tree [1], you’ve probably seen two very different numbers. One label gives 1,400mg of whole fruit powder and another gives 14,000mg of fruit from a 10:1 extract: two ways of preparing the same fruit, as a whole powder or as a concentrate. This guide decodes the 1,400mg on our pouch and shows what it means for you [2].
Wondering which to choose? It’s simple once you have the facts. Two of our organic amla capsules give you 1,400mg of whole fruit for about 20p a day [2], and you’ll also find amla as one of the three fruits in our triphala capsules [5]. Here is what each serving gives you, what it costs and which capsule suits your routine.

Which amla supplement is right for you?
You’ve decided to give amla a go, and now you need to pick a format. It’s the same organic fruit whether you choose a capsule or a loose powder; what changes is the taste and how you take it. Here’s a quick look at each one, starting with the capsules.
Amla capsules: a fixed serving with no sour taste
If scooping and stirring a sour powder into your morning drink doesn’t appeal, this is the one for you. Our Organic Amla Berry 1400mg capsules hold the dried, milled whole fruit, certified organic, in vegan capsules: both are printed on the pouch front.
Two capsules a day give 1,400mg, and the hypromellose shell keeps the fruit’s sourness off your tongue. A 90-capsule pouch is 45 servings for £8.99, about 20p a day [2].
Amla powder: the same fruit for drinks and cooking
If you already start the day with a smoothie or a glass of juice, our Organic Amla Berry Powder, 250g is the easy way in. It’s the same whole fruit, milled so you can stir it straight into your drink.
A quarter teaspoon (1g) gives you 1,000mg in 150ml of water, juice, a shake or a smoothie [4]. The 250g pouch is 250 servings for £9.99, about 4p a day, and you’ll find the same powder in 100g and 500g pouches [4].
Triphala capsules: amla as one of three fruits
You might have seen amla mentioned as one of a trio of fruits. That’s triphala.
If that’s what you’re after, our Organic Triphala 1400mg capsules bring amla together with Terminalia bellirica and Terminalia chebula. You get 1,400mg of the blend per two capsules, in a hypromellose shell with organic hemp flour, with 45 servings for £8.99 [5].
Your other option is our Organic Triphala Extract 7500mg capsules, a 15:1 extract: one capsule a day is equal to 7,500mg of triphala and has 250mg of tannins on the panel, giving you 90 servings for £8.99, about 10p a day [5]. You can see both in our triphala range, and our triphala guide explains the three fruits and their names.
Amla powder vs extract: what 1,400mg means on the label
1,400mg of amla powder or 14,000mg from an amla extract: what is each number telling you? They aren’t measuring the same thing, so let’s break down the label.
Our capsules hold whole-fruit powder. The fruit is harvested, de-seeded, dried and milled, and nothing is extracted or concentrated, so 1,400mg of powder is simply 1,400mg of dried fruit [2].
An extract label works differently. A 10:1 ratio means ten parts of fruit were concentrated into one part of extract, so 1,400mg of extract is quoted as 14,000mg of fruit.
To set it beside a powder, divide the fruit figure by the ratio: that gives the weight of extract in the capsule. Our triphala extract shows how it works: each capsule holds 500mg of a 15:1 extract, concentrated from 7,500mg of triphala [5].
1,400mg ÷ 2 capsules = 700mg of dried amla in each capsule · no ratio, so 1,400mg of powder is 1,400mg of fruit · £8.99 ÷ 45 servings = 20p a day. On an extract label, divide the fruit figure by the ratio: 14,000mg at 10:1 is 1,400mg of extract.
Organic Amla Berry 1400mg, nutrition panel [2]
What the amla nutrition panel declares
Our panel has one line: Organic Amla Berry, 1,400mg, no NRV established [2]. You might be looking for a percentage, but an NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) exists only for vitamins and minerals, and the label declares none. That single line is the whole story: 1,400mg of organic amla in every two-capsule serving.

The choice comes down to how you like to take it: amla on its own, amla as one of three fruits, or the three fruits as an extract.
What is amla berry, and how is the powder made?
What is amla? Put simply, a fruit: Indian gooseberry, or Phyllanthus emblica, small, sour and pale green, from a tree native to India and Southeast Asia [1]. It’s a fruit of Indian cooking and one of the three fruits in triphala.
Our amla capsules are part of our herbal supplements range. They also belong to our organic and vegan ranges, alongside our triphala capsules.
When to take amla capsules: with breakfast, with lunch or at night?
The easiest way to keep a new routine is to bolt it onto one you already have. The label direction is two capsules daily with water, and it names no time of day, so take them with breakfast or lunch, whichever you won’t forget [2]. A 90-capsule pouch sees you through 45 days.
The label does not say whether the two capsules go together or apart, so keep it simple: both with the same meal, every day, with a glass of water. If evenings are the only fixed point in your day, dinner works as well as breakfast, because the label sets no hour.
How to take amla powder: a quarter teaspoon in 150ml
The powder’s direction is a quarter teaspoon, which is 1g, mixed into 150ml of water, juice, a shake or a smoothie, once a day [4]. There is no scoop in the pouch, so a measuring spoon from the kitchen drawer does the job, and a smoothie hides the sour taste that the capsule avoids.
Store the pouch in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, out of reach of young children.

Amla berry capsules FAQs
1. How many amla capsules should I take a day?
Two, as the label directs, with water. That makes the 90-capsule pouch a 45-day supply.
2. When is the right time of day to take amla capsules?
The label names no time of day, so there is no wrong hour. Pick the meal you’re most likely to remember, breakfast for most people, and keep to it, because a steady routine matters more than the time on the clock.
3. How do I take amla capsules: with water or with food?
The label says two capsules daily with water, and it does not ask for an empty stomach or a meal [2]. Taking them with a meal is the easiest way to remember them, and the powder goes into 150ml of water, juice, a shake or a smoothie.
4. What are the benefits of amla capsules?
No health claim is authorised for amla on the Great Britain register, so we make none [3]. What each two-capsule serving gives you is 1,400mg of certified organic whole-fruit amla [2].
5. Are amla capsules vegan and organic?
Yes. The pouch front carries the EU organic leaf and the words vegan capsules, the shell is hypromellose, a plant-derived cellulose, and the ingredients are organic amla berry powder, the shell and organic brown rice flour [2].
6. Is amla powder an extract?
No. Ours is the whole fruit, de-seeded, dried and milled, so there is no extract ratio and 1,400mg of powder is 1,400mg of fruit. An extract label often gives the weight of the fruit it came from, so you divide that by the ratio to work out how much extract is in the capsule.
7. What is the difference between amla and triphala?
Amla is one fruit, Phyllanthus emblica. Triphala is a blend of three dried fruits: amla with Terminalia bellirica and Terminalia chebula. Our amla capsules give you 1,400mg of that single fruit, and for triphala you can choose 1,400mg of the blend in two capsules or a 15:1 extract equal to 7,500mg in one capsule [5].
8. Can I take amla capsules every day?
Yes. The label gives a daily amount, two capsules with water, so it is written for daily use; just don’t take more than the label says [2].
9. Can I take amla capsules if I am pregnant or taking medication?
The label says the product is not intended for children, or for pregnant or breastfeeding women, and that anyone with a medical condition or taking any medication should consult a doctor before use [2].
If your day is busy and you’d prefer a pre-measured serving with no taste, the Organic Amla Berry 1400mg capsules are your answer: 45 servings for £8.99, about 20p a day. If you’d rather stir your amla into a smoothie or juice, the Organic Amla Berry Powder, 250g gives you the same whole fruit: 250 servings for £9.99, about 4p a day.
Perhaps you’d like amla as one of three fruits? Choose the Organic Triphala 1400mg capsules, or the Organic Triphala Extract 7500mg for the three fruits as an extract in one capsule a day. Whichever you go for, every serving is certified organic.
