In a market crowded with unverified wellness claims, Ginkgo Biloba stands apart. It is the only herbal ingredient in our Dr Gabriel’s range that carries EMA Well-Established Use status — the highest level of regulatory recognition available for a traditional medicinal plant in the European Union. Understanding what this means, and why it matters, is essential for any informed buyer.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) grants “well-established use” status to herbal ingredients that have been used medicinally for at least 30 years (including at least 15 years within the EU) and for which the scientific literature demonstrates established efficacy and acceptable safety.
This is a significantly higher bar than typical food supplement claims. Most supplements can only claim to “support” a body function — Ginkgo Biloba’s EMA monograph explicitly references its traditional use in:
Ginkgo Biloba works through several complementary mechanisms. The standardised leaf extract (typically 24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones, as in our 120mg formula) influences:
A landmark systematic review by Weinmann et al. (2010) analysed 9 placebo-controlled trials using standardised Ginkgo extract at 240mg/day in patients with dementia and cognitive decline, finding consistent benefits in cognitive function and activities of daily living.
Based on the clinical literature and EMA guidance, Ginkgo Biloba is most relevant for:
Our Ginkgo Biloba capsules deliver 120mg of standardised extract per capsule — standardised to 24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones. The standard dose is 2 capsules daily (240mg), consistent with the doses used in the most significant clinical studies.
Each pack contains 60 capsules — a full 30-day supply at the standard dose.
Ginkgo Biloba has mild antiplatelet properties. If you are taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications (such as warfarin, heparin, aspirin at therapeutic doses, or clopidogrel), or if you are scheduled for surgery, please consult your healthcare provider before starting Ginkgo Biloba supplementation. This precautionary statement is consistent with EMA and WHO advisory guidelines.
Ginkgo Biloba is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
If you are looking for a herbal supplement for memory and circulation that is backed by genuine regulatory recognition — not marketing language — Ginkgo Biloba is the most evidence-supported option available. Its EMA Well-Established Use status means decades of safety data and clinical evidence have been reviewed by Europe’s top regulatory scientists.
