Gotukola - 60 capsules
Sri Lanka's daily brain and skin leaf
Last updated: August 2026
Gotukola (Centella asiatica) is one of Sri Lanka's most-used traditional herbs, eaten daily in mallum and sambol and used in Ayurveda for memory, circulation, mood, and skin healing. Each Ancient Nutra Gotukola capsule delivers pure Centella asiatica leaf powder from Sri Lankan farms.
What it traditionally supports
Gotukola is one of the few herbs with both nootropic and skin-supportive traditions. It is used to support daily cognition, peripheral circulation, mood balance, and skin healing. The active compounds are triterpenes, including asiaticoside and madecassoside.
How to take it
Take 1 capsule with a meal, once or twice daily, as a 30 day course. Take a break of at least 1 to 2 weeks before starting a new course, rather than running cycles back to back without a break. If you notice any unusual symptoms during use, stop and see a doctor.
Who it is for
- Sri Lankans who want their daily Gotukola in a convenient capsule rather than a sambol.
- Adults focused on daily cognitive support without stimulants.
- People building skin recovery and healthy-skin routines.
Frequently asked questions
How is Gotukola different from Brahmi?
They are different plants, often confused because both are used as nootropics. Gotukola is Centella asiatica; Brahmi is Bacopa monnieri. They pair well.
Is it safe daily?
Gotukola is well tolerated by most people when used as a bounded course rather than taken indefinitely. NIH LiverTox rates Centella asiatica likelihood score C, a probable rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury, with published cases showing jaundice appearing 3 to 8 weeks after starting oral use, hepatocellular in pattern, resolving 1 to 2 months after stopping. Contamination of commercial products could not be excluded in the reported cases. Source: NIH LiverTox, Centella asiatica, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK603561/. Stop use and see a doctor if you notice yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, persistent nausea, or unusual tiredness. Speak with your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you take blood-thinning medication.
Can I take it with the Brahmi capsule?
Yes. They complement each other.
