Organic Gingko

Ginkgo is a tree native to China, and its leaves have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. The extract is typically made from dried ginkgo leaves.

Ginkgo extract is often added to beverages like iced tea and coffee, as well as dietary supplements. It is used for its perceived health benefits rather than for a specific functional property like sweetening or preserving.

Ginkgo biloba extract is commonly found in dietary supplements. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates dietary supplements, but does not approve them for safety or effectiveness before they go to market. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have reviewed ginkgo, but no specific health claims are widely recognized by major regulatory bodies. Some studies suggest potential benefits for cognitive function, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed. It is important to consult a healthcare provider before using ginkgo supplements, especially if you have medical conditions or are taking other medications.
