Gotu Kola

Gotu kola is the herb Centella asiatica, a small creeping plant of the carrot family (Apiaceae) native to tropical Asia, supplied by Nustras as a dried herb powder or extract powder for the botanical supplement and cosmetic sectors. The aerial parts are characterised by pentacyclic triterpenoids, notably asiaticoside and madecassoside, which serve as marker compounds for standardisation.

It is formulated into capsules, tablets and powdered blends in the herbal supplement category, into liquid extracts, teas and functional beverages, and into skin-care and other cosmetic preparations where Centella asiatica extract is a declared ingredient.

The material is a powder; colour and extract ratio are stated on the specification sheet. Total triterpene content is standardised to specification and determined by HPLC; identity is confirmed as Centella asiatica by thin-layer chromatography, and heavy-metal, pesticide-residue and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies gotu kola in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Centella asiatica is an accepted botanical ingredient for supplements and cosmetics in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted plant part, level and claim for their application.
