Emblica officinalis is the fruit of tropical and subtropical plants of the Euphorbiaceae Phyllanthus genus. It has the same name as the plant and is also known as Yunnan olive and oily glycerine. Emblica officinalis originated in India and then flowed into Southeast Asia and other regions. In our country, it is mainly distributed in Yunnan, Guangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Hainan and other places, with abundant resources.

Emblica officinalis not only has outstanding medicinal value, but also a fruit with outstanding nutritional value. Emblica officinalis is rich in carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, organic acids, vitamins and minerals. Among them, the vitamin C content is the most prominent, more than 100 times that of ordinary fruits. Emblica officinalis extract contains lysine, which is usually lacking in plants, which is beneficial for improving the quality of protein in the diet. The selenium content is generally low in daily foods, especially in fruits and vegetables. The selenium content in emblica officinalis reaches 0.24mg/100g.

Modern research points out that Emblica officinalis contains organic selenium, SOD polyphenols, flavonoids, polysaccharides and other active substances, which have the effects of anti-oxidation, anti-tumor, lowering blood lipids, and improving immunity. The application of Emblica officinalis in health food mainly has the following directions:

1. Reduce fat and lose weight. Emblica officinalis can lower serum cholesterol and phosphate, while promoting the metabolism and decomposition of fat, thereby lowering blood lipids.

2. Lower blood pressure. The polar components in Emblica officinalis extract can directly act on the cardiovascular system, and the effect is rapid, helping to reduce blood pressure.

3. Improve immunity. Emblica officinalis contains polyphenols, flavonoids, polysaccharides and other antioxidant substances, which can delay cell oxidative damage and improve the body's anti-fatigue degree. At the same time, emblica officinalis has an immunomodulatory effect, which not only enhances the activity of natural killer cells and has antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, but also induces leukocytes to produce interferon and enhance the body's disease resistance.

4. Prevent chemical liver injury. Emblica officinalis has two possible mechanisms for preventing chemical liver injury. One may be related to the activation of the anti-oxidative stress Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway, and the other may be achieved by resisting inflammation.

5. Anti-mutation. Emblica officinalis extract can improve the ability of cells to resist environmental mutagenesis, and its effect is stronger than the same dose of VC. The main reason is that emblica officinalis not only contains rich VC, but also active ingredients with more prominent antioxidant capacity such as flavonoids, organic acids, and SOD.
