How safe is Ginkgo?
More than 20 years of research have proven that Ginkgo can revitalize the circulatory system, brain and body in a natural, safe, gentle way. Clinical studies using Ginkgo with less than 5ppm Ginkgolic acid have shown Ginkgo to be remarkably free of side effects. The same is not known for Ginkgo exceeding this standard. Unfortunately, Ginkgo products on the shelf today can contain THOUSANDS of times the allowed limit of toxic Ginkgolic acid. It is extremely important to only use Ginkgo meeting the pharmaceutical standard of less than 5 ppm Ginkgolic acid. Ginkgo meeting this standard has been shown to be safe and effective throughout decades of international research. Individuals who are on blood-thinning medications, however, are cautioned to consult with their health care practitioners before taking Ginkgo.
