zrii-logo-1.jpgThe amalaki berry has been central to Indian Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years because this small fruit contains an abundance of nutrients and antioxidants, and is probably the most potent source of vitamin C available.

In Ayurveda the amalaki berry is highly esteemed for its role in cleansing the blood as well as nourishing and protecting the heart. The high concentration of antioxidants in the amalaki berry are believed to combat free radicals and protect the tissues of the circulatory system by preventing damage that leads to the buildup of fatty plaques.

Modern science has recently begun to investigate amalaki in an effort to validate the traditional uses of this fruit. Researchers have found that amalaki possesses an impressive nutrient profile that includes polyphenols, amino acids, trace minerals, antioxidants, tannins, bioflavonoids, ellagic acid, gallic acid, embilicanin-polyphenols, rutin and quercetin superoxide-dismutase.

Recent studies indicate that amalaki can lower blood cholesterol levels, protect bloods vessels and reverse pre-existing damage.

According to the American Heart Association, Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) rank as America’s No. 1 killer, claiming the lives of over 36 percent of the more than 2.4 million people who die each year in the United States. This, it seems, would be good enough reason to give the amalaki berry serious consideration.

Dozens of scientific studies have demonstrated that the properties of amalaki are beneficial to the heart. Recent experiments have shown that the amalaki berry is rich in powerful antioxidants that have remarkable abilities to scavenge for free radicals. It has been documented that amalaki can reduce the levels of lipid peroxides in the blood and in the liver. This is significant in the fact that these lipids are very dangerous free radicals that cause serious damage.

Stress is a major contributing factor to the onset of heart attacks. One study found that amalaki strengthened the body’s ability to combat stress-induced free radical damage.

Several other studies support the use of amalaki as an agent to reduce elevated cholesterol levels. A recent study, published in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, demonstrated that amalaki juice reduced the effects of a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet in rabbits. The juice appeared to protect the arteries and prevent the damage that normally occurs when there is an accumulation of fatty plaques. When testing the rabbits, it was also discovered that there was a decrease in the amount of existing deposits of plaque in the blood vessels. From this, the researchers concluded that the intake of amalaki juice may not only protect the blood vessels, but may also reduce pre-existing damage.

In a study conducted on laboratory mice with high blood cholesterol levels, 12 weeks of amalaki supplementation reduced the serum cholesterol of these mice significantly below the levels in the control group. The degree of atherosclerosis in the Amalaki feed rats at the end of the 12 week period was much lower in comparison to the control group. Similarly, research conducted using human subjects concluded that amalaki is able to reduce blood cholesterol levels. Interestingly, the researchers found that blood cholesterol levels began to increase shortly after the intake of amalaki was discontinued, indicating a direct correlation between the intake of amalaki and the cholesterol levels.

All these studies are validation of what has been accepted knowledge about the amalaki berry and heart health by ayurvedic practioners for centuries. If you are concerned about your heart’s health you may want to consider a daily dose of amalaki.
