Wondering what the dose equivalence of ND's extract compared to regular Gotu Kola? I have the extract but unsure how it compares. Tried looking it up but couldn't find an answer.

You can't really directly compare them, as our standardization is very specific. However, there is about 1-2% asiaticoside in raw dried gotu kola, and ours has 15-20%. So 10-20 times as potent. So a 120mg dose of our extract would be like a 1.2-2.4 gram dose of raw plant. However, that's not exactly accurate as well, since ours are enteric coated. So you are getting more to the small intestine intact. This means it is even more potent in practice.
