Is Gynura procumbens okay?

[J.P.]

i hope somebody here is familiar with Gynura procumbens. It's a popular medicinal plant from southeast asia, supposedly helps cure and prevent a wide range of illnesses. almost everybody who has tried it personally has nothing but praises for the plants medicinal powers, so I want to give it to my torts as a supplement.

taste test has positive results, all of my torts gobbled one leaf each on the fist offer. but i am holding back giving them more until i am certain it is not bad for them.

I had never heard of it, but a GOOGLE search shows this:

So I'm assuming if people can eat it tortoises probably can too in moderation.

Thanks Yvonne. I only plan to give it as a supplement.
