Certified Organic Aura Amla Powder 16Oz - 1Lb. Powerhouse of Natural Vitamin C. Great Source of Antioxidants. Supports Immunity and Vitality.

The item arrived sealed but full of powder underneath the seal. Opening was a mess, and it looks like the culprit was a loose lid and half open seal underneath. Suspicious because of the sloppiness, I looked on the label for the company that certified this as USDA organic. It states NOP, MOSA. So I went to USDA website to see if these companies came up as legit certifiers. Yup- both come up as legit certifiers BUT Organic Aura does not come up as a certified operation under either MOSA or NOP. I went to Mosa’s website to double check, could not find mention of Organic Aura either. Since I could not verify organic certification I am returning. I tasted a pinch of the powder and it’s my understanding Amla is supposed to be very bitter. This powder was not bitter. Lastly only half the bottle is filled. I weighed it and it came in just under 16oz, probably lost the 0.2 oz in the messy opening of the container.

I noticed a perked up feeling for sure :) no buzz/jittery anything like a stimulant. Just a clear and awake feeling.Felt good to feel like I did business with "good guys."Was looking for non gmo Vit. C powder. Ended up with another company whose "non gmo vitamin C," was just plain ascorbic acid molecules, made from combining corn syrup and hydrochloric acid to form the single molecule....which according to my research is not vitamin C, and is not going to do what Vitamin C does.Was happy to find this whole food source, I am allergic to everything and this works for me.I blend it with blueberry juice, Lemon yogurt, honey, and collagen hydrolysate for breakfast, and although the taste is not what I describe as pleasant, I find that I notice it less each time I drink it.I was entirely unable to even attempt to drink this when mixed with plain water. This is for health, not aesthetics. It is a little grainy, but again, all of this is more than worth it to me.

Just ordered a replacement, made easy by Amazon. Seal obviously broken without taking off the outer plastic wrap around the lid/container. I never broke the outer seal to see if there was a seal inside. If there is not, I will not buy again, as it's a food product and obviously has leaked if there is a top of the inside jar seal on the one I received. Powder was leaking out of the top and bottom of exterior. See pics. I hope it arrives well...been waiting to try Amla for a while and finally took the plunge with this company via the feedback of customers who have used it a while. Amla seems to have varied reviews on the products. Crossing fingers!

I put this directly in smoothies so I don’t know how it tastes or feels in just water but I love this brand. We all feel a boost in energy, and just feel good. I even have my teen drinking this in her smoothie and her menstrual cycle is not as intense, and her mood is more positive! We’ve gone through one bottle, about 3 months, and wanted to wait to review.

I like that this came in a large enough container so that powder does not disperse all over my counter every time I open the lid. (I've had this problem with other brands.). We use it because of its antioxidant content. Most of the time we use it by mixing a teaspoon into each of our bowls of hot cereal. It is quite sour and needs to be mixed into something other than water.

This alma powder is very clean, consistent in texture, and mildly flavored. Amla powder is by nature, very tart. I don't know how they produce such a finely textured and clean product out of goose berries but I'm glad they do. This is a nice product at a fair price.

I couldn't find this cheaper than twenty bucks anywhere my only quarrel with the product is that it is very tart and hard to mix with cold liquids, thus I'd reccomend making tea with it or put the powder into capsules for the most pleasant experience. All in all love the product though.

I’ve heard such good things about Amla so had to try it. I just got it so really can’t review it yet.I was warned that it had a bitter taste if not mixed into juice or a smoothie. I did use it in my smoothie and just noticed a slighlyt different taste....I will continue to use it daily. The health benefits are important!
