The Solgar Ginkgo Biloba 60mg is a dietary supplement in phytocapsules, with 60mg of titled extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves per capsule, of which 14.4mg ginkgo flavonglycosides (24%) and 3.6mg terpenoids (6%). The same capsule also contains 30mg of Ginkgo biloba leaf powder. The package contains 60 capsules.
It is aimed at adults looking for gingko in a standardized form, with declared content of the two groups of compounds that characterize it. The combination of extract and whole leaf powder is deliberate, as the extract guarantees a specific ratio of active compounds while the powder maintains the broader phytochemical profile of the leaf.
According to the product presentation by Solgar, the extract is associated with the following points.
The above statements are attributed to the producer. Gingko does not have an approved health claim by EFSA and remains under research, so these points do not constitute a confirmed effect on memory or any other function.
The composition does not contain vitamins or minerals, so it does not carry approved nutritional claims. Its interest lies in the dual contribution of the plant, 60mg of standardized extract plus 30mg of leaf powder, and the purity of the capsule. The shell is plant-based, made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and the remaining ingredients are limited to microcrystalline cellulose as a filler and vegetable stearate magnesium as an anti-caking agent.
The free-from statement covers gluten, wheat, dairy, soy and yeast, without artificial sweeteners, fragrances and colorants. The product is suitable for vegans.
It suits adults interested in botanical formulations with serious standardization and who want to know exactly how many ginkgo flavonglycosides and how many terpenoids they are taking. It appeals to people who already know gingko and prefer capsule form over tincture or infusion, as well as those who avoid gluten, soy and dairy. It is also an option for vegans looking for a plant-based capsule without gelatin.
It is a dietary supplement and does not replace medical diagnosis, monitoring or treatment. It is not intended for the prevention or treatment of memory disorders or any other condition. Anyone noticing changes in memory or mood should consult a doctor.

Ginkgo may enhance the action of anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs, increasing the risk of bleeding.

It is the international standard for the standardization of ginkgo leaf extracts: 24% ginkgo flavonglycosides and 6% terpenic lactones, i.e. 14.4mg and 3.6mg in the 60mg extract.
They are the terpenic lactones of the plant, unique molecules that do not occur in any other species. They are measured on the label as terpenoids.
The extract guarantees a specific content of the active compounds, while the whole leaf powder adds the broader phytochemical profile of the plant.
Not without medical advice. The combination may increase the risk of bleeding.
