Ginkgo and Gotu Kola blend, but Ginkgo is unstandardized 'freeze-dried' whole herb, impacting efficacy.
Eclectic Herb's Ginkgo Gotu Kola product offers a blend of two herbs traditionally used for cognitive support. While Gotu Kola (100mg) has its own merits, the Ginkgo component (175mg) is listed as 'Freeze-Dried,' which typically means it is a whole herb product and not a standardized extract. Nutritionists and research support the use of standardized Ginkgo extracts (e.g., EGb 761) to ensure therapeutic levels of flavone glycosides and terpene lactones for brain health, cognitive support, and cardiovascular benefits. Without this crucial standardization, the product's ability to deliver consistent and predictable effects from the Ginkgo component is highly questionable. Despite the inclusion of Gotu Kola, the unstandardized Ginkgo diminishes its overall effectiveness for targeted results.
- Combines Ginkgo with Gotu Kola, another herb for cognitive support
- From a reputable brand for herbal products
- Ginkgo is unstandardized ('Freeze-Dried' whole herb), lacking concentrated active compounds
- Efficacy for specific brain, cognitive, and cardiovascular goals is uncertain
- May not deliver consistent therapeutic levels of Ginkgo's key components
- Consumers seeking specific Ginkgo benefits should look for products with clear standardization to flavone glycosides and terpene lactones.

Categories
Ginkgo 40.0
As a Ginkgo product, its 'freeze-dried' and unstandardized form is a significant drawback, positioning it below products that utilize standardized extracts for reliable effects.
Goals
Brain Health 45.0
While Gotu Kola may contribute, the unstandardized nature of the Ginkgo component means its specific and consistent impact on brain health is not reliably assured.
Cognitive Support 45.0
For reliable cognitive support, standardized Ginkgo is preferred; this product's 'freeze-dried' Ginkgo lacks the concentrated active compounds necessary for predictable effects.
Cardiovascular Support 45.0
The cardiovascular benefits of Ginkgo are tied to its active components; the unstandardized form in this blend makes its contribution to this goal less certain and effective.
