Ginkgo Biloba: A Smart Drug?
The recommended dose of Ginkgo is 120 milligrams daily, usually taken in divided doses. Look for standardized Ginkgo biloba extract with at least 24% ginkgo flavone glycosides. It comes in several forms and is available at your local pharmacy.
Check with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before taking Ginkgo biloba. There is some evidence that it can contribute to bleeding complications if taken with other medications or herbs that also "thin" the blood.
