Natural sources of ginkgo
Ginkgo naturally grows in China and other Asian countries, where its leaves have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Active ingredients are extracted from dried ginkgo leaves, and supplements are produced in the form of capsules, tablets, or liquid extracts.

Recommended doses of ginkgo extract range from 120 mg to 240 mg per day, divided into 2-3 portions. The exact dosage should be chosen individually, taking into account the person's health status, age, the strength of the preparation used, and the recommendations of healthcare professionals.
