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

Quality product.

I ordered this after being encouraged by a friend to try it. He had what I would call flakes of gotu kola. Ive had great success with Banyans 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 wouldnt 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!

Use this on your hair.

I must say I cant tell if this is affecting me like people are reporting it. I combine this and bacopa (the other brahmi) and it always makes me tired. The reviews suggest it should give me energy. So I literally take a super small amount, 100mg tops of each, and it might be helping with my mood from time to time. After 8 weeks of use I will try and remember to report back any changes in opinion The package itself doesnt zip back up so I have to tape it shut after each use. Otherwise I would have rated 5 stars even though I cant tell if its working

I like the flavor and really works!

I love that this is pure Brahmi with no added fillers. However the taste is quite bitter and I needed to idea tsp of honey to make it more palatable. Maybe Ill try it in capsule form next time.

3 star review simply because the label & search function is somewhat confusing. Please be aware: The Brahmi of classical Ayurvedic herbalism is Bacopa Monnieri which you can also purchase from Banyan. Gotu Kola is similar and widely used as a substitute ... but it is not the classic, original Brahmi. I have not actually used this product ... I imagine it is a fine product as Banyan has good reputation ... but i am purchasing the Bacopa Monnieri. I dont know why a search on Brahmi led me to the Gotu Kola version ... disappointed with the search functionality. If you want the original, true Brahmi, then you may need to search Bacopa to find it.

excellent quality brahmi powder. I use it in my homemade hair pack but way too expensive from this seller.

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. Ive 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 didnt 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.. Im going to add in some Bacopa later, also from Banyan but I want to hum on this for a while. Ive always had good supps from Banyan. I buy the Bacopa, Triphala and Ashwagandha as well. Its the highest quality that Ive 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.

Honestly from my experience using Gotu Kola it was an excellent calming and circulation improving herb. I believe the Natures Way gave me these effects. But I cant say the same for Banyan Botanicals. They claim their products are organic and superior. However, a lot of the stuff I bought from them barely if any effects? Perhaps because they grow their products in the desert? I dont know all I know is that its not working on me and I am surprised to read all the positive reviews. Maybe they gave me an old one? THe color of the powder is a yellowish green not green green. Maybe thats why? If anyone else has experienced similar results from this product please leave a comment. Thanks
