Ingredient Overview
Gotu kola is a creeping herb with rounded leaves, used in Asian food and herbal traditions. Centella asiatica provides triterpene constituents for a range of extracted ingredients.
The rounded leaves make gotu kola easy to recognise as a fresh herb. Its food and traditional preparation history sits alongside interest in triterpenes such as asiaticoside and madecassoside. The extract focuses on these plant constituents rather than the bulk and texture of fresh leaves.
