how much amla juice to drink daily - #41795

Kennedy

I am really stuck on figuring out how much amla juice to drink daily. Last month, I started feeling super fatigued, and after a bunch of tests, my doctor said my vitamin C levels were low. My aunt mentioned amla juice as a great natural source and suggested combining it with my green smoothies. I thought, cool, sounds healthy, right? But then I started drinking it and now I’m like, okay, how much am I even supposed to have? I’ve been trying to keep it to a couple of ounces a day, but sometimes I feel like I might be overdoing it, like am I gonna get sick from it or something? I read somewhere that too much vitamin C can cause stomach issues, right? I also mix absinthe and amla juice for taste sometimes, which I think is good, but now I'm worried if that messes up the benfits. How much amla juice to drink daily? And is there a specific time during the day that is best for me to take it, or does that not even matter? Just feel like I need some real guidance on this, and since I can't stop with the research, I thought reaching out here would be smart. Any tips would be super appreciated!

Doctors' responses

To figure out how much amla juice to consume daily, it’s generally safe and beneficial for most adults to drink around 10-20 ml (about 2-4 teaspoons) of fresh amla juice per day. This can be adjusted based on individual needs and tolerance. Amla is quite potent, so it’s vital not to overdo it. Considering your concern for your Vitamin C, a small consistent intake can be effective. Drinking too much may lead to digestive discomfort, like you mentioned stomach issues due to the high acid content.

As you’re combining it with green smoothies, that’s actually a pretty smart strategy to enhance nutrient absorption, and a good way to start. Mixing it with absinthe should be done with caution and mindfulness, as absinthe can have a quite strong effect on the body. It might not directly interfere with the benefits of amla juice, but moderation and understanding how your body reacts is important, especially with alcohol.

Timing your intake can also play a role in how you benefit from amla’s qualities. For best results, consider having amla juice on an empty stomach in the morning. This aligns with the natural rhythm of the body’s digestive fire (agni), that according to Ayurveda, is optimal in the morning. If you prefer having it later in the day, ensure it’s taken at least half an hour before or after any meals to prevent digestion interference.

Consistency is more beneficial than intermittently consuming large amounts. Customize your intake according to how your body feels, and do consult with a healthcare professional, especially when combining different types of substances. If your fatigue persists or worsens, it’s important to continue consulting with your doctor to address any underlying issues.
