Amla contains Ascorbigen A and Ascorbigen B. Theses have a
gamma lactone and is not same as Ascorbic acid.
Ascorbic acid can be liberated from this. As a convenience theses
are often grouped together as Ascorbic acid. (Although,it is analyzed
as such.
The key point difference is that Ascorbigen are more stable than
Ascorbic acid.
The tannins from Amla help further protect the Ascorbigen just like
shock absorbers. They themselves trap the free radicals before
oxidation of Ascorbigen can occur.
Our ancestors were extremely practical because they used Amla in
presence of FAT (from ghee), this provides an additional layer of
protection to the water soluble moiety of Ascorbigen. Thereby
further enhancing the relative stability. They did not necessarily
know this (chemical stability) but they certainly recognized this
from experience.
In our ancient texts they used Amla fruit, Leaves and bark in the
metallurgy for manufacturing arrow-heads. Here, the powerful
reducing agent (various forms of gallates and Ascorbigen) efficiently
reduced Iron ore.

Common names of this tree include amalaka : amla
Common names of this tree include amalaka in Sanskrit, amla (आँवला) in Hindi, amlaki (আমলকী) in Bengali, and amala in Nepal Bhasa.
Indian gooseberry has undergone preliminary research, demonstrating in vitro antiviral and antimicrobial properties. Experimental preparations of leaves, bark or fruit have shown potential efficacy against laboratory models of disease, such as for inflammation, cancer, age-related renal disease, and diabetes.
A human pilot study demonstrated reduction of blood cholesterol levels in both normal and hypercholesterolemic men.
Although fruits are reputed to contain high amounts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), 445 mg/100g, the specific contents are disputed and the overall antioxidant strength of amla may derive instead from its high density of tannins and other polyphenols. The fruit also contains flavonoids, kaempferol, ellagic acid and gallic acid.
