I've been a regular Nature's Way user but found this one on Amazon. Is this any good? Standardized for triterpenes 10%

Is this any good?

I always had better results using the whole herb of Gotu Kola instead of extracts - unlike most herbs.

So you would prefer 

Nature's Way, Gotu Kola Herb

in that case?

Have you thought about tinctures? Herbalists say a fresh tincture of gotu kola leaf is particuarly potent, although I'd guess the dried herb pharm tincture would be better than some dried capsules. I can't say I felt much from the natures way ones. Standardised products aren't necessarily better or even more consistent, due to lots of different kinds of active compounds.

I'm using Nature's Way "Standardized Ginkgo".  I like that it has Gotu Kola (aerial parts) and the leaf extract (24% ginkgo flavone glycosides). Seems a good combo to me and no problems.

I seem to have pretty high tolerance to Gotu Kola, I start to really feel it at dose of 9 grams / day (spread in three doses of 3 grams).

Tranquilizer/anxiolytic, mild opiate like feeling, while cognition remains sharp. Also increased micro blood flow gives your skin a nice glow and there's a general healthy sensation. Gotu Kola also contains a good amount of nutrients. I've used it on and off since 2012. Nature's Way brand works well.

I didn't expect to feel anything.

 

I am counting on the fact that it is NGF booster:
