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.
