What Is Cola Nut Used for Today?
Based on the cola nut's caffeine content, Germany's Commission E has approved its use for the treatment of fatigue . 1 Cola is ingested daily by millions as one of the main ingredients in cola soft drinks. It is also used in diet and "high-energy" products such as food bars and as a flavoring in alcoholic beverages, frozen dairy desserts, candy, baked goods, gelatins, and puddings. 2 However, the caffeine-containing cola nut, used in original recipes for Coca-Cola should not be confused with gotu kola .
Because of its caffeine content, cola nut would be expected to increase urination, stimulate the heart and lungs, and help analgesics such as aspirin to function more effectively.
