Amla powder is a good source of vitamin C. However, the National Institutes of Health explain that vitamin C deficiency is extremely rare in developed countries. All fruits and vegetables contain high levels of the vitamin, and it’s found in other foods as well.
That said, if you like the taste of amla powder and want to add it to your diet, Puello says that there’s no harm in that. Because amla powder is so bitter, you’ll likely need to pair it with sweet ingredients, like banana or honey, in a smoothie.
Sheth also recommends hunting for whole amla instead of the powdered stuff. “While fresh amla are hard to find here, you can find frozen amla, pickled amla and dried amla packets in an Indian grocery store,” she says.
