2-pack value set: Gotu Kola Extract Plus - with vitamin C, zinc and L-leucine - 2 x 120 capsules - from Unimedica

Thoughtful composition

Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) is also known as Indian or Asiatic pennywort and tiger grass. Gotu Kola Extract Plus capsules from Unimedica contain Gotu Kola extract in a 6:1 ratio with a standardized content of 1% asiaticosides. The capsules also provide the essential nutrients vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and zinc, as well as the essential amino acid L-leucine. The valuable ingredients are encapsulated in a purely plant-based cellulose capsule.

Support for skin and overall wellbeing

While Gotu Kola has a long tradition in Asian folk medicine, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and the trace element zinc have been shown to contribute to normal immune function, cell protection and metabolism. Zinc also helps to maintain normal skin, hair and nails, while vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, which is important for skin, cartilage and bones. L-leucine is an essential amino acid in its natural, bioactive form. It is a component of many proteins and thus involved in muscle building. L-leucine is supported in this by zinc, which contributes to protein synthesis.

Which foods provide similar benefits

Natural sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits, berries and peppers. Zinc is found, among other sources, in pumpkin seeds, nuts and wholegrain products. Leucine is present in soy, beans, meat (beef), fish (salmon, tuna), nuts (walnut) and rice.

How our Gotu Kola Extract Plus capsules can help

Gotu Kola Extract Plus capsules from Unimedica can contribute to wellbeing in many ways by combining the power of nature with vitamin C, zinc and L-leucine. In particular, they can help supplement a balanced diet to meet the need for nutrients that support the immune system and skin, such as vitamin C and zinc.

What is Gotu Kola?

Botanically, the plant belongs to the Apiaceae (umbellifer) family. It is native to the tropics and subtropics and is traditionally used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda. In Asia, Gotu Kola is also used fresh or dried as an ingredient in teas and dishes. Valuable natural constituents of Gotu Kola include asiaticosides. These are organic compounds from the group of triterpene saponins (active saponins), which are also used in the cosmetics industry.
