Good brand by Fighting Lil (Des Moines, IA)  4 Stars
March 10, 2007
As all natural products you can not find a fast change, but I am very satisfied with the quality. I have also the green tea from this brand, and they are fast sending the products, and the prices are great.
So if this product is effective, I still can't tell. I use it as a preventive since i'm pretty absent minded, so i guess I will be able to tell in the future!

GUIDE FOR USING GINKGO BILOBA:
Unlike some other herbs, standardization is really essentially to insure getting enough of the active constituents of the ginko leaves, called flavone glycosides [24%] and terpene lactones [6%]. Without standardization you couldn't ingest the correct volume of the dried Ginkgo leaves, and you would be more prone to allergic or toxic reactions which the standardization process in this case corrects reliably.
40-80 mg. about 3 times a day as part of your herbal regime is about the usually dose according to Dr. James Duke's, "Herbal Handbook".
ABOUT BRANDS: SWANSON IS A BEST BUY - NOW & NATURE'S WAY ARE TOP QUALITY!
This particular Swanson brand product is the one currently on my shelf right now. The results are roughly equivalent to the results I experienced from the "Nature's Way" and "Now" Brands which I also highly regard. The difference here in these similarly standardized Ginko products is the price. The Swanson standardized Ginkgo is 60 mg. in each of the 240 capsules, std. for 24% flavone glycosides, and 6% terpene lactones is roughly half the price of the brands I named per volume of product from discount vendors also available here.
You can read about the constituents of herbs in detail in Michael Murray's "Healing Power of Herbs" or James Duke's, "The Green Pharmacy" or "THE READER'S DIGEST - "THE HEALING POWER OF VITAMINS, MINERALS & HERBS";
