Gotu Kola Capsules

What are Gotu Kola Capsules?

Gotu Kola, scientific name Centella asiatica and sometimes referred to as Asiatic Pennywort, Indian Pennywort and Tsubokusa; is a perennial plant native to India, China, Japan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, South Africa and the South Pacific. As an aquatic plant, it grows abundantly in tropical, swampy areas and is known for its fan-shaped green leaves and white, purple or pink flowers. Traditionally, both the leaves and stems of the Centella asiatica plant are used to obtain its reported health benefits.  

Gotu Kola Plant

Gotu Kola’s history of use, as well as its nootropic benefits, are very similar to that of Bacopa monnieri – even to the extent that they have even shared common names such as Brahmi. Due to its similar name, Gotu Kola has also been often confused for the Kola Nut as well. However, it should be noted that, unlike Kola Nuts, it is not stimulating nor does it contain any caffeine whatsoever. Much the opposite, in fact, as Gotu Kola has been reported to actually promote relaxation. In China, it has often been referred to as “the fountain of life” and is renowned in traditional Ayurveda as a memory supplement among its other benefits and uses.

Gotu Kola Benefits and Uses

As a dietary or nootropic supplement, Gotu Kola benefits may include:

    • May help support memory function and promote mental clarity*
    • May help promote healthy stress levels*
    • May help support healthy cardiovascular function*
    • May help promote healthy sleep cycles*
    • May help support collagen synthesis*

The active chemicals in Gotu Kola are known as triterpenoids. Some studies conducted on triterpenoids suggest they may benefit memory function, promote healthy stress levels as well as increase the strength and volume of collagen. 

Much like Bacopa monnieri, it is reported that it may take a few weeks for Gotu Kola’s cognitive-enhancing benefits to take a noticeable effect. It is believed this is due to Gotu Kola activating a class of proteins known as mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), which then in turn causes a release in a growth factor for neurons called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This may support neuronal growth which promotes brain plasticity and communication between brain cells. In 1992, a study of rats concluded a positive effect on memory function when they were supplemented with a Gotu Kola extract daily for fourteen days. Learned-behavior retention was then measured to be 3 to 60 times better in those rats than that of the control animals in the same study.

Other studies indicate that an additional Gotu Kola benefit may be its ability to support the brain from neurotoxins such as a lead, arsenic and aluminum.*

Is This Gotu Kola Extract Standardized For Its Triterpene Content?

Yes, this Gotu Kola Extract is standardized to a minimum 35-45% Triterpenes, 15-25% Madecassoside + Asiaticoside B, and 15-20% Asiaticoside.

Gotu Kola Dosage

As a dietary supplement, take one Gotu Kola capsule 2-3 times daily.

    HG for Redness

    Holy ****, I love this gotu kola supplement. I used a whole bottle, then stopped taking it for some months and my skin got red & irritated again, then I got a new bottle and my redness is already diminished overnight. I did a double take in the mirror this morning because I look like a whole different person when my face isn't bright red. I take 2-3 per day and will definitely buy again.

    Pleasantly surprised

    I noticed nothing @ 1/day. However, when I took it 2-3 times per day (breakfast lunch and dinner, sometimes forgetting dinner), I saw results. I felt a little more decisive, and was able to juggle more things at a time in my head during a rather stressful career shift recently. It didn't help me "focus on the task at hand", but I noticed myself being better at "balancing several tasks at hand".

    My favorite ND product!

    This is a product that I will continue to buy for many years! The cognitive benefits are very very noticeable especially if you follow the 3 pills a day dosage. I get a total stress relief and I get in a great mood boost! Not sure how that one affects others but it's my favorite ND product so far.

    Gotu kola

    I'm still not sure of the overall benefit? I've been sleeping better but I think a higher dosage is probably needed to achieve optimal results!

    Multiple noticable benefits

    Provides a feeling of calm, slight mood boost, ability to think clearly. Also giving a noticable smooth look to skin. Overall excellent product at a reasonable price

    Skin looks like silk, eyes looking more than ever

    Not only skin look tighter and smoother than ever but I'm also needing less hours of rest in order to feel fully replenished. One of my fav noots

    My favorite adaptogen

    I generally am not keen on adaptogens because they make me almost too calm, but this (along with Bacopa) is the exception. I love Gotu Kola. I take it first thing in the morning and it helps keep my mood up and combats my sensitivity to caffeine. I also take a second tablet before bed. My memory and skin have improved as well and it hasn't caused anhedonia like other plant extracts have. 5 stars!

    Worked but problem..

    It worked as expected and as with all ND products you can remain calm that there's no metal contamination. I use it for varicose veins and it does a good job at this. Howver the enteric coating means my stomach doesn't always digest it, I've been getting half of the tablet come out in my stools. I will be purchasing the powder from now on for this reason.

    Good

    I honestly don't notice anything for my hairs/nails. Perhaps buying the powder and taking more helps better in that regard than these tablets. Other than that, I find gotu kola similar to bacopa but more subtle.

    Mixed feelings

    This product works well to recover long forgotten memories. It also puts me in a good mood and makes my skin look significantly better. The only reason why I give this three stars is because it consistently ruins my sleep.

    Probably the best substance for skin

    I have only 30 cp left and I think it was enough time to go through a review now. I used the powder first and got a lot of good results, mainly in cognition, sleep support and skin (wrote a review there). This tablet version is a weird case because I didn't feel that the cognitive effect was as strong as the powder. However, I take a lot of things that disrupt the brain homeostasis so this must be taken into account. About the skin and sleep: I felt this tablet version being is a bit stronger, but nothing absurd. I mean, Gotu Kola is already an absurd, but the powder and tablets difference was not that great on me.

    Skin improvement, possibly sleep + memory too

    Taking this alongside bacopa + sleep support, the benefits of these tablets to sleep + memory might have been missed by me. But, I definitely noticed a skin improvement while taking this; my skin is much smoother than it was before starting. These tablets are also just small enough for me to swallow.

    Double hitter

    I started taking this for the cognitive effects like calmness and memory. However my skin got better while on it. I later found out that gotu kola improves skin health because of collagen effects. So I got an extra bit of benefits I didn't even expect.

    Amazing!

    This is the best gotu kola I have every tried. I get better sleep and am less stressed after taking these. My skin looks fabulous. My mood and memory are better. It is just a perfect supplement for me, and the tablets are small and easy to swallow.
