Ginkgo biloba is available in Ginkgo biloba Extract (GBE), capsules, tablets, soft gels, powders, and tinctures. However GBE is the most commonly used and tested of them all.
There are millions of Ginkgo products out on the market today. Health food stores are packed with them; websites on the internet are endless in the endeavor to peddle Ginkgo products. It can be difficult deciding which products may be the freshest or have the strongest medicinal properties. Certain qualities to consider when choosing herbal products are organics and freshness. When choosing an extract look for assurance that it does contain the proper amounts of Ginkgo flavnoids (24%) and terpene lactones (6%).
There are some better known and trusted products that are safe to go with when deciding to add Ginkgo to your daily regime. Dr. John R. Christopher has a formula called the MindTrac formula. This herbal formula is a combination of herbs with Ginkgo biloba. The combination is designed to work on the cause of mental disruptions and effectively restore good health and mental clarity.
There is also a similar formula by Dr. Christopher designed for children called Kid-e-Trac. Dr. Christopher has also prepared other formulas containing Ginkgo biloba.
