Here are some side effects of amla, as revealed by nutritionist Dr. Batra.
Causes acid reflux
Amla fruit contains vitamin C and ascorbic acid. Therefore, it can cause acid reflux in people with a history of hyperacidity.
Causes constipation
Amla contains high levels of tannins. These have a drying effect on the intestines and lead to constipation, especially if consumed in large quantities or on an empty stomach.
Dehydration
Amla has diuretic properties and increases the production of urine in the body. Therefore, it can lead to dehydration. Therefore, pregnant women should be very careful while using amla.

Hair loss occurs
