Gotu kola is a perennial herb found in Africa, India, China and other parts of southeast Asia. A member of the parsley family, gotu kola has been part of Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years. Despite its familiar sounding name, gotu kola contains no cola or caffeine but it is a rich source of vitamin K.
The active compound in gotu kola is triterpenoids. In general, gotu kola is prized for its perceived calming effect and support of the central nervous system as well as positive effects on circulation. Gotu kola is known to enhance brain and peripheral circulation. Some people believe it may improve memory. Gotu kola appears to relax the central nervous system resulting in its calming effect. At the same time it stimulates the brain resulting in improved concentration.
Gotu kola can also have positive effects on peripheral circulation. This results in improvements in varicose veins, leg cramps, and leg swellings and decreases poor blood circulation in the legs. Gotu kola decreased vein hardening and helped improve blood flow through veins in 80% of patients in a study conducted in the late 1980s. Gotu kola may also help wounds heal faster.
Suggested Use: As an herbal dietary supplement, take 2 capsules, 2 to 3 times daily.

All Vitabase brand products are manufactured within the USA. This is important for quality because the FDA inspects our manufacturing facilities regularly. In other countries, governmental agencies may not necessarily exercise much control over manufacturing processes.
We source our ingredients from around the world. This is important because the best available ingredients are not necessarily made in the United States. For example, we get our liquid herbal extract ingredients from Europe because they are absolutely the best on the market.
