About Gotu Kola
Centella asiatica has RCT evidence for chronic venous insufficiency (TTFCA extract) and wound healing/collagen synthesis. Some trials support anxiolytic effects at higher doses. The triterpene compounds (asiaticoside, madecassoside) are the primary actives. Widely used in skincare (topical) but oral supplementation also studied. No established RDA/UL.
