An unstandardized Ginkgo leaf product offering low cost but uncertain efficacy for its stated goals.
Quantity: 240Quantity: 30
The Swanson Premium Brand Full Spectrum Ginkgo Leaf provides 60mg of unstandardized Ginkgo, meaning the beneficial compounds like flavone glycosides and terpene lactones are not guaranteed to be present in effective amounts. Nutritionists and scientific literature overwhelmingly recommend standardized Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) for consistent brain, cognitive, and cardiovascular support. Despite its very low price per serving ($0.04), the lack of standardization makes it an unreliable choice for achieving therapeutic effects. Online reviews, while numerous, often reflect general satisfaction rather than specific efficacy for complex health goals like cognitive improvement.
- Extremely affordable price per serving
- High quantity of servings (120 capsules)
- Not a standardized extract, so active compound levels are unknown
- Efficacy for brain, cognitive, and cardiovascular goals is questionable
- May not deliver consistent therapeutic benefits
- Lack of standardization means unpredictable potency.

Categories
Ginkgo 30.0
As a Ginkgo product, its primary weakness is the absence of standardization for active compounds, which is a fundamental requirement for a high-quality and effective Ginkgo supplement according to industry standards.
Goals
Brain Health 30.0
For effective brain health support, standardized Ginkgo extracts are crucial to ensure adequate levels of active compounds; this product's 'Full Spectrum' nature doesn't guarantee this, leading to uncertain benefits.
Cognitive Support 30.0
Cognitive benefits from Ginkgo are primarily attributed to specific flavone glycosides and terpene lactones, which are not quantified or guaranteed in this non-standardized 'Full Spectrum' formulation.
Cardiovascular Support 30.0
Cardiovascular support from Ginkgo relies on its specific active compounds to improve blood flow; without standardization, the product's ability to consistently deliver these effects is compromised.
