TITLE: Prevention (i.e non-surgical) of excess skin during large scale fat loss and any experiences with Gotu Kola?
POST: So I (22/M/300lbs/6'3") am currently about 10% of the way to my fat loss goal, going from 310lbs+ down to around the 200lbs mark using the /r/4Hourbodyslowcarb diet. I've basically accepted the fact I'm going to end up with loose skin, even if I add some level of muscle.

I was recently listening to a Tim Ferris Show podcast where he interviewed Charles Poliquin about various topics related to fat loss and muscle building (a good listen here  ) and they briefly covered the topic of excess skin after weight loss and mentioned a herb called Gotu Kola... Poliquin stated that after 6-9months of taking 3 times a day many of his clients started to see rapid reductions of excess skin.
TL;DR: 
so I'm basically wondering if anyone has had any experience with Gotu kola as a means for reducing excess skin or any alternative (non-surgical) methods for tightening up loose skin after fat loss
