Ginkgo Biloba & Ginseng Capsules

Ginkgo Biloba & Ginseng Capsules puts 700 mg of red Asian ginseng extract into a two-capsule serving, with ginkgo on two separate rows of the panel — 600 mg of whole-leaf powder and 120 mg of a standardized extract. Sixty vegetable capsules, thirty servings, and a label that prints every milligram instead of hiding them in a blend. The front of the bottle calls it a focus and mental clarity formula.*

The ginseng

Panax ginseng is the species people mean when they say Asian or Korean ginseng, and "red" describes a traditional processing step rather than a different plant. Worth reading the panel closely here: the parts named on this row are the stem and the leaf, not the root, and we'd rather point that out than let the row go unread.

It's standardized to 7% ginsenosides. Ginsenosides are the family of saponin compounds the ginseng plant builds in its own tissue, and standardizing means the extract is manufactured to land on that percentage rather than whatever a given harvest happens to carry. At 700 mg, it's the largest single row on this label.

The two ginkgo rows

Ginkgo biloba is a tree, and the part used is the fan-shaped leaf. This formula takes it two ways at once.

The first row is 600 mg of ginkgo leaf powder: the dried leaf, milled, nothing concentrated out of it. The second row is 120 mg of a ginkgo leaf extract standardized to 24% flavones. Flavones are a class of plant pigment compound, and 24% is the figure this extract is made to hit. The panel keeps the two on separate rows, each with its own milligram figure, which is why you'll see ginkgo listed twice if you're comparing panels line by line.

How it's taken

Capsules, so there's nothing to taste, mix or measure. The shell is hypromellose — a vegetable capsule made from plant cellulose, not gelatin, which is what the vegan claim on this bottle rests on. Silicon dioxide is the only other thing in there; it's a flow agent that keeps powder from caking during filling. Two capsules, twice a day, ideally 20 to 30 minutes before a meal. Store the bottle somewhere cool and dry.

Who it's for

Anyone shopping the ginkgo aisle or the ginseng aisle who'd rather buy one bottle than two, and who wants the amounts printed in milligrams so they can be compared against anything else on the shelf. Vegans and vegetarians, since the shell is plant-based. And anyone who reads panels carefully enough to care that the ginkgo appears as both a leaf powder and a standardized 24% flavones extract, rather than one or the other.

How to use it

As a dietary supplement take two (2) capsules twice a day. For best results take 20-30 min before a meal or as directed by your healthcare professional.
