Description: Gotu kola (Centella asiatica)
Gotu kola (Centella asiatica (L.) Urb.) has been used for 3000 years for pain and swelling caused by venous insufficiency.
Our standardised extract of aerial parts of Gotu kola contains 20% triterpenes and 8% asiaticoside.
Triterpenes and asiaticoside in gotu kola help to relieve the symptoms of venous insufficiency by enhancing collagen synthesis, maintaining balance in connective tissue and improving microcirculation.
Thanks to its high level of standardised contents, our Gotu kola acts to alleviate the symptoms of various venous disorders (chronic venous insufficiency, venous hypertension, varicose veins). It is also effective in fighting against circulatory problems that occur in long-haul flights.
