HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Gotu Kola Extract Powder 60 mg by BulkSupplements.com

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Gotu Kola Whole Herb Extract at 60 mg per serving. It comes as a powder with dextrin listed as an inactive ingredient — that's a binding and flow agent.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Gotu Kola's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Gotu Kola for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Burns — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Venous insufficiency — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence is mixed. Gotu kola is possibly effective for venous insufficiency (the sensation of heaviness or poor circulation in the legs) and possibly effective for burns.

For radiation dermatitis (skin damage from radiation therapy), cognitive function, and Alzheimer's disease, the evidence is either too weak to rate (insufficient evidence for Alzheimer's) or leans toward ineffective.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Gotu Kola

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Gotu kola is generally well tolerated over the short term, though quality evidence is limited. The most common side effects taken by mouth are gastric irritation and nausea.

Liver toxicity is rare but has been reported in at least four cases; however, those reports didn't rule out contamination or specify the doses used. A 6-month clinical trial at 120 mg daily found no changes in liver function, but caution is still advised.

Do not use during pregnancy — there isn't enough safety data, and it's traditionally been avoided. Safety during breastfeeding is unknown, so it's best to avoid it then as well.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Gotu Kola

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Gotu Kola.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 580 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check your exact medications against the tool on this page. Pay special attention if you take CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anxiety medications, some painkillers) — gotu kola may boost their sedative effects — or any drug known to affect the liver.

The interaction data we hold covers these categories; ask your pharmacist if you're unsure whether your medication is in either group.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Gotu kola may help with venous insufficiency or burn healing, but the evidence is modest. If you take CNS depressants, liver-stressing medications, or have a liver condition, talk with your pharmacist before adding this.

Avoid it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Gotu Kola Extract Powder 60 mg by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Gotu Kola Extract Powder 60 mg by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Gotu Kola Extract Powder 60 mg has a known interaction with 579 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Gotu Kola Extract Powder 60 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data isn't there to support use during pregnancy — it's traditionally been avoided — and breastfeeding safety is unknown. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What are the most common side effects?
When taken by mouth, gastric irritation and nausea are the most commonly reported. These are mild and most people tolerate gotu kola well short-term.
I've heard gotu kola can damage the liver. Should I worry?
There are rare reports of liver problems, but the picture is unclear — contamination and doses weren't documented in those cases. A clinical trial at 120 mg daily for 6 months showed no liver changes. Still, caution is warranted, especially if you already have liver concerns or take medications that stress the liver.
Will this help my circulation problems?
Gotu kola is possibly effective for venous insufficiency — the heavy, sluggish feeling in the legs from poor circulation. The evidence isn't strong, but it's there. It's not established for other circulation issues, so talk with your doctor about whether it fits your situation.
Can this help with anxiety or brain function?
The evidence doesn't support it. For anxiety disorders, there isn't enough reliable data. For cognitive function and Alzheimer's, the evidence either leans ineffective or is too limited to rate.
