A healthy adult should consume atleast 2 amlas per day to meet daily requirement of Vit C.

Now the question is how to eat 2 amlas everyday? Its not a piece of cake. So here I give you the solution to this by which you may easily include 2 amlas everyday in your routine. Add gooseberries to your - Smoothies, Vegetable juices, to all your chutneys, add in your dals and sambhars for the sourness, grate it on your salads. If these seems to be too much of a task, you may also prepare Amla juice everyday early in the morning and drink it at empty stomach or before breakfast for optimum absorption.

As Indians we lucky to have fresh amla available through the most of the year. Many other counties use only preserved forms as Gooseberries can not be naturally grown in their climate.
