The GK diaries - Day one

Okay, so I got my gotu kola tablets, 100 at 250mg at Holland and Barratt for £7.48 inc postage.  The first ingredient is bulking agents...um...should I be worried?

Things it may effect: -

Mood: Alright, bit down in the dumps. 4/10
Concentration: Slightly below medicore. 4/10
Alertness: Sluggish. 4.5/10
Tiredness: Sluggish. 5/10
Skin: Pale. Blotchy. The norm. 6/10
Memory: horrendous 3/10

So, what is gotu kola?

According to http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/gotu-kola-000253.htm, it is used in many things. Reasearch has been done on this (I still need to double check with PubMed, but I'm pretty sure it's all kosher). Supposed to help with vaircos veins, wound healing, skin lesions, high blood pressure, anxiety...

The bottle I got recomends 2 tablets (500g) a day, but the website says 1000mg a day. Taking two, because the website also says dosage depends on way prepared. The
manufacturer knows best!

Am going to take for 6 weeks, with a two week break.

Wish me luck!
