⚠ Compliance Notes

US market: Ginkgo is commonly used in cognitive support and healthy aging supplements. Keep claims around memory support, cognitive function support, and circulation support. Avoid claims related to dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, tinnitus treatment, or medical circulation disorders.

EU / UK market: Ginkgo can be treated differently depending on dosage, claims, and product format. Review botanical status and permitted wording before launch, especially for pharmacy or practitioner channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard Ginkgo Biloba Extract specification?

The best-known commercial specification is 24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones. Serious buyers also check ginkgolic acid limits. If a supplier only states “ginkgo extract” without marker details, ask for a full COA and HPLC method.

Is Ginkgo Biloba Extract suitable for nootropic formulas?

Yes. Ginkgo is widely used in cognitive and healthy aging formulas. It can be positioned for memory support and cognitive function support, but it should not be presented as a treatment for neurological disease or age-related medical conditions.

What should I check on a ginkgo COA?

Check flavone glycosides, terpene lactones, ginkgolic acid level, heavy metals, microbiology, pesticide residues, moisture, ash, and solvent residues. Low ginkgolic acid is especially important for quality-focused ginkgo products.

What documentation comes with my order?

Every sample and bulk order includes COA, MSDS, and product specification sheet. For standardized grades, the COA includes the relevant active marker assay where applicable. Heavy metal data, microbiology results, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement, flow chart, and country of origin declaration are available for bulk orders.

What ingredients pair well with ginkgo?

Ginkgo pairs well with bacopa, lion’s mane, phosphatidylserine, alpha GPC, panax ginseng, green tea, B vitamins, and L-theanine depending on the formula. For healthy aging, it can also pair with resveratrol and grape seed extract.

What affects Ginkgo Biloba Extract pricing?

Price depends on whether the material meets 24/6 profile, ginkgolic acid limit, pharmacopeial standard, pesticide profile, and annual volume. Very low-cost offers should be checked carefully for marker balance and adulteration risk.

What is the minimum order and lead time?

Minimum bulk order is 1kg, with formulation samples available from 20g. Bulk lead time is usually 10–15 business days depending on selected specification, inventory, documentation requirements, and destination market.

24/6 note
