HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Gotu Kola Mandukparnee Powder by Herbal Hills

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

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: gotu kola mandukparnee powder. Gotu kola is a plant traditionally used in herbal medicine, and this powder form delivers it without any added inactive ingredients or fillers.

Does it work?

Leans against
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
Leans against

The strongest graded evidence we hold for the stated purpose leans against a benefit.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: nervine tonic supporting mental function and cognition.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cognitive function, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Depression, Alzheimer disease, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), stress — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Gotu Kola is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Cognitive function (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Gotu Kola is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Alzheimer disease, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Depression.

The evidence for gotu kola is mixed. It's possibly effective for venous insufficiency (poor circulation in the legs) and possibly effective for burns when applied topically.

For radiation dermatitis (skin damage from radiation therapy), the evidence suggests it's probably not effective. For cognitive function and Alzheimer's disease, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works.

For generalized anxiety disorder, the evidence isn't established in the data we hold.

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.

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

There's a rare but serious concern about liver toxicity — at least four cases have been reported — though contaminants in the products tested couldn't be ruled out, and the doses used weren't documented. In one clinical trial where liver function was monitored, 120 mg daily for 6 months didn't cause changes in liver function.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy, since there isn't enough information to be sure it's safe. During breastfeeding, safety is unknown, so it's best avoided.

If applied to skin, gotu kola can occasionally cause allergic contact dermatitis (itching, redness, and bumps), though not everyone who reacts to gotu kola products is sensitive to gotu kola itself.

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 powder, double-check any medications that affect the liver or cause drowsiness — especially sedatives, anti-anxiety drugs, and pain relievers that carry liver risk. The interaction severity is Moderate for both.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with graded evidence leaning against its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Gotu kola may help with poor leg circulation and wound healing, but the evidence is limited and the liver concerns — though rare — warrant caution. If you take sedatives, anti-anxiety drugs, or any medication that affects your liver, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this powder.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it until you've checked with your own healthcare provider.
