The evidence in words
How much to take
120–240 mg/day of a standardized extract if used at all; benefits, if any, are modest.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Ginkgo Biloba; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
It has antioxidant and vasodilatory actions and mild antiplatelet activity, proposed to improve microcirculation and neuronal resilience.
Bottom line
Not the memory-saver it's marketed as — the prevention trials were null. Modest niche use at best, and a genuine bleeding concern.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
