If, like most of us, you too turned up your nose at the bitter little amla fruit as a kid, it may be time to rethink your philosophy. The humble Indian gooseberry has now become a favourite of Hollywood celebrities for its anti-ageing and rejuvenating properties. Everyone from Sofia Vergara to Kim Kardashian, Cindy Crawford to Britney Spears is now endorsing the benefits of amla. Popularised by Dr Raj Kanodia, a well-known plastic surgeon in Hollywood, the sour little green fruit sure has come a long way.
An #Amla a day keeps the doctor away. Thank you @DrKanodia90210!

Amla is extolled for its anti-ageing properties, since it improves the formation of collagen to prevent premature skin wrinkling and loss of elasticity in the skin.
