Hi!
First you need to specify the reason for which you are taking Amla.
The dosage & timing will depend on that, and also your prakruti. (Body Type)
Next Steps
Consult an Ayurvedic physician before taking any herb, because they do have side effects.
Plus it is always better have it in the form of fruit, powder or tablets. As lesser chance of preservatives being there.
Health Tips
-Amla is should be taken in precaution by diabetic people.
-It has bad effects if you are a kapha type body.
-It is not recommended if you have a healing wound.
