Amla is everywhere in haircare right now—but what does the science actually support? Carl Pradelli breaks down what this trending ingredient does best.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
• Why amla (Indian gooseberry) is trending in beauty and haircare circles
• What the early human research says about amla and hair health
• The stronger scientific evidence linking amla to cardiovascular support
• How Capros amla extract supports heart health and nitric oxide production
• Why healthy blood circulation matters for every tissue in your body
• How to pair TrueCapros with hair-specific formulas for a complete approach
You've probably noticed amla showing up more in haircare conversations—scalp health, hair strength, even hair growth. But should you be taking an amla supplement for your hair?
In this episode, NatureCity CEO and Co-Founder Carl Pradelli gives you a straight answer. While there is some early human evidence suggesting oral amla may support hair health in women, the stronger and more established science points somewhere else entirely: blood circulation and cardiovascular health.
Carl explains how Capros, the high-potency amla extract used in TrueCapros and TruBerry7, has been shown in multiple human studies to support endothelial function, increase nitric oxide production, reduce oxidative stress markers, and support already healthy cholesterol levels. He breaks down what endothelial function actually means, why nitric oxide matters for blood vessel health, and how healthy circulation supports every tissue in your body—including, in theory, hair follicles.
The takeaway? People may discover amla because of the hair trend, but the real value lies in heart and blood flow support. And if hair is also a goal, Carl shares a smarter strategy: pairing TrueCapros with direct hair support formulas like TrueHNS or TrueNuGrow+.
