There are three fundamental Ayurvedic principles or goals that prove high performance, be it physical or mental:

1. Decreased levels of ama (toxins) in the body.

2. Balancing and strengthening digestion (agni).

3. Reducing stress levels.

To achieve the above three goals, Ayurveda offers many possible options, and each of them has its own unique ability to change and maintain a higher level of functioning of the mind-body.

These performance-oriented options include: changes in diet and daily routine; the use of stress-reducing practices such as yoga, exercise and meditation, as well as a range of traditional Ayurvedic herbal preparations that support high performance in athletes and everyone else.

Performance Berry

Of all the Rasayans - Ayurvedic medicines revered for their positive effects on physiology - the fruit of Amalaki (Amla) is considered one of the most potent and nourishing. The Charaka Samhita (an ancient Ayurvedic text) says: “Amalaki is the best among rejuvenating medicinal plants.” It contains five of the six tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, astringent and pungent. The only missing taste is salty. This gives it a holistic, balancing effect on the three doshas. Amla is soothing for all three doshas (principles of mind-body action), useful for all types of constitution, in all seasons and in all weather conditions.

The fruit of this plant is the only ingredient in Organic Premium Amla Berry tablets. It's not just ground Amla. It is produced according to ancient texts and concentrated in a 21-step process. Amla fruit is also the main ingredient in Amrit Nectar and Amrit Ambrosia.

For athletes seeking the benefits of natural high performance, Amala has many noteworthy beneficial effects:

• Improves protein synthesis, so it is useful for strengthening muscles and building lean muscle mass. Its unique Ayurvedic action offers athletes and bodybuilders a natural way to tone muscles and build lean mass.

• Good for the brain. It nourishes and enhances the coordination between the three aspects of psychic ability—acquisition, retention, and recall—increasing intellect and mental functioning. It supports the nervous system and strengthens the sense organs.

• Increases energy and eliminates fatigue. It supports cell regeneration, the process by which tired, old cells are replaced by viable, new ones.

• Supports the heart. It has the quality of hridya. This means that it nourishes the heart, blood and circulation - the entire cardiovascular system.

• Supports the lungs and balances the Kapha dosha. It is a tonic that helps strengthen and nourish the lungs and all airways.

• Nourishes all dhatus (body tissues) and also helps keep menstruation regular and healthy. This berry supports the reproductive systems in both men and women. It is especially nourishing for female physiology.

• Promotes the absorption of food. Its regular use supports the digestion, absorption and assimilation of food. In addition, it improves the absorption of iron for healthy blood.

• Helps the urinary system. It supports the natural diuretic action by helping to remove waste from the body.

• Acts as a body cooler. It is especially effective during the hot season for cooling Pitta dosha, and is also especially beneficial for Pitta and Vata constitutions. It is constantly recommended for balancing Pitta dosha.

• Strengthens the liver and supports its functions. It also stimulates the liver, helping it remove chemicals, additives, and other toxins from the body.

• Acts as an antioxidant. Amla berry is an effective broad spectrum antioxidant and free radical scavenger that helps slow down the aging process. Supports immunity.

• Balances stomach acids. It soothes mild to moderate acidity and other digestive problems associated with Pitta. In this case, it should always be taken with food.

• An excellent source of vitamin C, easily absorbed by the human body. On a gram for gram basis, Amla has 20 times the vitamin C content of an orange. The vitamin C in the Amalaki fruit binds to tannins, which protects it from being destroyed by heat or light.

• Regulates selection processes. Amla Berry promotes the downward flow of energy in the body. This helps keep the excretion function regular and relieves occasional constipation.

Medicines that support key areas of health

It is a digestive support (agni balancing) herbal composition. According to Ayurveda, occasional acid indigestion is a sign of Pitta imbalance.
