FAQ
- Why Are Gotu Kola Extracts Standardized?
Standardization helps ensure that each serving provides consistent levels of key compounds, including triterpenes such as asiaticosides and madecassosides. This allows for reliable potency and composition from one serving to the next. - What Are Triterpenes and Why Are They Important?
Triterpenes are naturally occurring compounds found in gotu kola that are considered its primary bioactive constituents. These compounds, including asiaticosides and madecassosides, have been extensively studied and are commonly used as markers of quality in standardized gotu kola extracts. - What Are Asiaticosides and Madecassosides?
Asiaticosides and madecassosides are two of the most important triterpenes found in Centella asiatica (gotu kola). These compounds are believed to contribute to many of the botanical's characteristic properties and are often measured in standardized extracts to help ensure consistent potency. - How Does Gotu Kola Support Cognitive Health?
Research suggests that gotu kola's triterpenes interact with pathways involved in neuronal function, cellular signaling, and antioxidant activity. These mechanisms have made gotu kola a subject of scientific interest for supporting cognitive function, memory, and mental performance. - Is Swanson Gotu Kola Standardized Suitable for Special Diets?
Swanson Gotu Kola Standardized is non-GMO, gluten free, and dairy free. However, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets because the capsules contain gelatin.
