Ginkgo Biloba Leaf – 20:1 Extract – Powder – 4oz

Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), also known as the maidenhair tree, is one of the oldest living tree species on earth, often called a “living fossil.” Its fan-shaped green leaves are harvested and made into this 20:1 extract, meaning roughly 20 parts of leaf were used to make 1 part of powder. That makes it far more concentrated than dried ginkgo leaf, so it is used in very small amounts.

Traditional Use: Ginkgo trees have been planted in temple gardens in China, Korea, and Japan for centuries, and their leaves have long been steeped as a tea.

Ingredients: Ginkgo biloba leaf extract, 20:1

Size: 4 oz.

Suggested use: This is a concentrated extract. One serving is 175 mg, just under 1/16 teaspoon; use a 1/16-teaspoon (“pinch”) measure. Take 1 serving up to 3 times daily, mixed into water, juice, or a smoothie. Do not exceed 525 mg (3 servings) daily. Do not use a regular teaspoon.

Caution: Highly concentrated; do not exceed suggested use. Not for use by anyone who is pregnant, trying to conceive, or nursing, or by anyone under 18. Ginkgo may increase the risk of bleeding: do not use with blood-thinning or antiplatelet medication, including daily aspirin, unless directed by your healthcare provider, and stop use at least 2 weeks before any scheduled surgery or dental procedure. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you are taking any other medication, especially antidepressant, blood sugar, or seizure medication, or have a medical condition. Discontinue use if any adverse reaction occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place.
