GUIDE FOR USING GINKGO BILOBA:
Unlike some other herbs, standardization is really essentially to insure getting enough of the active constituents of the ginko leaves, called flavone glycosides [24%] and terpene lactones [6%]. Without standardization you couldn't ingest the correct volume of the dried Ginkgo leaves, and you would be more prone to allergic or toxic reactions which the standardization process in this case corrects reliably.
40-80 mg. about 3 times a day as part of your herbal regime is about the usually dose according to Dr. James Duke's, "Herbal Handbook".
ABOUT BRANDS: SWANSON IS A BEST BUY - NOW & NATURE'S WAY ARE TOP QUALITY!
This particular "NOW" brand product is NOT the one currently on my shelf right now, chiefly due to cost. The results are roughly equivalent to the results I experienced from the "SWANSON" and the "NATURE'S WAY" brands which I also highly regard,. Nevertheless, if the cost was the same, I'd pick this "Now" or "Nature's Way" product every time as I have complete confidence in the integrity of their products.
The biggest difference here in these similarly standardized Ginko products, that we can objectively quantify, is the price. The Swanson standardized Ginkgo is 60 mg. in each of the 240 capsules, [std. for 24% flavone glycosides, and 6% terpene lactones] which is roughly half the price of the "NATURE'S WAY" or "NOW" brands, per volume of product, from discount vendors also available here. In fairness, the "NOW" brand is usually less costly than the "Nature's Way" equivalent, across the board.
You can read about the constituents of herbs in detail in Michael Murray's "Healing Power of Herbs" or James Duke's, "The Green Pharmacy" or "THE READER'S DIGEST - "THE HEALING POWER OF VITAMINS, MINERALS & HERBS". All three books are excellent, interesting and well respected.
[I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY PRODUCT OR COMPANY - BUT I DO HAVE A HIGH REGARD FOR THIS "NOW" PRODUCT]
