Amla (Phyllanthus Emblica) is extraordinarily rich in Vitamin C, gallic acid, and tannins. Most 'amla oil' on the Indian market is a heat infusion that destroys these actives before bottling. This post explains which form actually delivers the clinical benefit.
What Amla Does at the Follicle Level
5-alpha reductase inhibition: Gallic acid and pyrogallol inhibit 5-alpha reductase, contributing to DHT reduction.
Antioxidant protection: One of world's richest Vitamin C sources (600–700mg/100g). Protects scalp from UV and pollution oxidative stress.
Melanin support: Preliminary evidence Phyllanthus Emblica inhibits enzyme responsible for melanin breakdown — relevant for premature greying.
Why Standard Amla Oil Doesn’t Work
Vitamin C destroyed above 40°C.
Traditional amla oil: boiled in coconut/traditional Ayurvedic hair oilsme at 80–120°C. 100% vitamin C loss. Significant tannin degradation.
Vihira 360°: Advanced Extracted Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Oil, solvent-free, sub-40°C. Full polyphenol, tannin, gallic acid profile preserved.
