Freeze-dried Ginkgo with partial standardization info, uncertain potency for optimal efficacy.
This Eclectic Institute Ginkgo product lists 'Ginkgo biloba, Freeze-Dried, Ginkgo Flavonols 450mg'. While the mention of 'Ginkgo Flavonols' is a step in the right direction, it lacks the full standardization profile (typically 24-27% flavone glycosides and 6-12% terpene lactones) recommended by nutritionists for optimal efficacy. The '450mg' quantity is also ambiguous; it's unclear if this is the total raw herb quantity or the amount of standardized extract. If it refers to the whole herb, it would be less potent than a concentrated extract. Without clear percentages for both key active compounds, its consistent therapeutic value for brain health, cognitive support, and cardiovascular function remains uncertain, despite the brand's reputation for quality.
- Mentions 'Ginkgo Flavonols', indicating some focus on active compounds
- Freeze-dried form can preserve some natural constituents
- Lacks full standardization (no terpene lactones percentage specified)
- Ambiguity regarding whether 450mg is extract or whole herb quantity
- Uncertainty about consistent therapeutic efficacy for specific goals
- Consumers may not receive consistent levels of all active Ginkgo compounds due to incomplete standardization information.

Categories
Ginkgo 55.0
This Ginkgo product provides some detail on active compounds but falls short of full industry-standard standardization, which is crucial for maximizing confidence in its efficacy within the category.
Goals
Brain Health 55.0
While specifying 'Ginkgo Flavonols' suggests some quality, the absence of comprehensive standardization for both flavone glycosides and terpene lactones leaves its precise impact on brain health uncertain for nutritionists.
Cognitive Support 55.0
For reliable cognitive support, the exact proportion of active compounds in Ginkgo is vital; this product's partial standardization and dosage ambiguity make its cognitive efficacy less predictable.
Cardiovascular Support 55.0
The cardiovascular benefits of Ginkgo depend on specific active compounds; the product's incomplete standardization details make it difficult to confirm if it provides sufficient and consistent levels for this goal.
