Banyan Botanicals Brahmi/Gotu Kola Powder – Organic Centella Asiatica ­­–Supports Focus, Concentration, Alertness, and a Balanced Sense of Calm* – ½ lb. – Non-GMO Sustainably Sourced Vegan

Flavor- like a light minty green flavor, just mixed with room temp water, dissolved well. Texture- powder, not fine but not grainy. First try, this morning. I've been taking Bacopa for a while and really enjoy the boost it delivers. I just did Gotu Kola this morning, no other supplements, juices or foods, to check it out. At first drink, the flavor was palatable and refreshing, 1 tsp in 8 oz. water. I didn't notice anything right away and started responding to work emails. After 10-15 minutes, I paused to take stock of my head space and body response and I definitely feel a boost of energy but not like caffeine, more of a background alertness which seemed to help keeping me on task.. I'm going to add in some Bacopa later, also from Banyan but I want to hum on this for a while. I've always had good supps from Banyan. I buy the Bacopa, Triphala and Ashwagandha as well. It's the highest quality that I've found. Fake reviews- i think that many of the neg reviews I read were not honest, possibly left by competitors.. or just not very supplementally adept folk, with undefined/ unrealistic expectations. Hi5 BB, thanks again for delivering the goods.

Great calming raw herb which I put in capsules myself (super easy and cheaper), but there's something you need to know. In Ayurveda, "Brahmi" is a name shared by two different plants: 1. Bacopa monnieri: Usually better for memory and heavy cognitive lifting. 2. Gotu Kola (this product): Often better for mental calm, focus, and supporting the nervous system. I love them both! Quick Tip: This powder is meant to be taken with warm water. If you put it in capsules, drinking a warm tea or water afterward can help your body process it effectively. Either way, you get some great benefits especially for us mom's who's nervous system needs support and love. xX,Nancy

This supplement is easy to take in my smoothies. I don't know if it helps but I will keep taking it.

I ordered this after being encouraged by a friend to try it. He had what I would call "flakes" of gotu kola. I've had great success with Banyan's products before, so I went straight for this one over the other brand. I definitely feel like I made the right choice. The Banyan Gotu Kola is clearly much greener and fresher, and I can feel the difference as well. While I wouldn't say I have had any miracle level results, I do feel a little less fatigued in the afternoon when I take this, and I notice my concentration in front of the computer is a little better. It tastes pretty good too - I just make a hot tea with it and add a little honey. I will definitely reorder this product when I run out. The ultimate proof to me that it is helping, is that I actually REMEMBER to take it each day, haha!

I absolutely will never go without this stuff. I have been using it for about 2 months now, daily. I put half a teaspoon in my morning tea. It tastes and smells like crap but if you can knock a shot of alcohol back with no prob, this shouldn’t be an issue esp knowing the benefits for your body. with continued use you will notice a difference. It helps with mental clarity and anxiety.
