HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Gotu Kola Mint Flavor by TerraVita

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 30, 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 glycerite liquid extract (a concentrated herbal extract). The inactive ingredients are glycerin and mint flavor, which make up the rest of the formulation.

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).

Gotu kola carries mixed evidence depending on what you're using it for. It's rated possibly effective for venous insufficiency (poor circulation in veins) and burns.

For radiation dermatitis, cognitive function, and Alzheimer's disease, the evidence doesn't support benefit or is too limited to say. The data we hold doesn't establish that it works for other conditions you might read about elsewhere.

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 in the short term, though quality evidence is limited and liver concerns have been reported. The most common side effects when taken by mouth are gastric irritation and nausea.

Rarely, hepatotoxicity (liver damage) has been reported in at least four cases, though lab analysis wasn't done on those products and doses weren't documented. One clinical trial of 120 mg daily for 6 months showed no liver function changes.

When applied to skin, it can cause eczema or allergic contact dermatitis in some people. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data—it's traditionally been avoided.

During breastfeeding, safety is unknown, so it's best avoided. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.

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 you take this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on CNS depressants (sedating drugs like sleep aids, benzodiazepines, or opioids)—gotu kola may boost their drowsy effects. Also flag any medication that can affect your liver or has hepatotoxic effects.

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 burns, but the evidence is mixed for many other uses. It's a Moderate-risk product if you take CNS depressants or drugs that stress the liver—check your medications first.

If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Gotu Kola Mint Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Gotu Kola Mint Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Gotu Kola Mint Flavor 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 Mint Flavor 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.
What is gotu kola and what's it supposed to do?
Gotu kola is an herbal extract used traditionally for circulation and wound healing. Our data shows it's possibly effective for venous insufficiency (poor vein circulation) and burns, but the evidence is limited or doesn't support it for other uses like cognitive function or Alzheimer's disease.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Not enough safety data exists for breastfeeding—it's best avoided. During pregnancy, there's traditionally been caution due to limited data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
What are the side effects?
The most common are gastric irritation and nausea when taken by mouth. When applied to skin, it can cause eczema or allergic contact dermatitis. Liver damage is rare but has been reported in a few cases—though those weren't thoroughly analyzed.
Is this safe if I take other medications?
It depends on your drugs. Gotu kola can increase drowsiness from sedating medications and may add to liver stress from certain drugs. Check your exact medications with the tool below or ask your pharmacist before starting.
How long can I safely take this?
The evidence is solid for short-term use. A clinical trial tested 120 mg daily for 6 months without liver issues, but our data doesn't establish long-term safety beyond that timeframe.
What's the mint flavor for?
It's an inactive ingredient that makes the liquid taste better—it's not the active part of the product.
