I took 2 pills, my mom and my grandpa and we felt nothing I dont know! I was asking them all the time and they keep telling me the same, I dont feel anything. Maybe is long term? It had no effect on my sleep, I was tumbling and Rolling on my bed, woke up couple of times. 🤷♂️

Gotu has many of the same proposed benefits as cava. Can help with hair growth/health, mood, memory. It’s pretty cheap an id consider it one of the most OG herbal supplements. Kind of like ginkgo.

I take our Gotu Kola regularly as well. It's a really great one. It acts through difference mechanisms, but does have some similar effects to Ecklonia cava. Gotu Kola inhibits GABA transaminase, which will increase GABA levels. This means it will go really well with Ecklonia cava. It also improves wound healing. It doesn't have the UV/sunburn protecting effects that Ecklonia cava has, but it is better for actually healing already damaged skin.
