Collection: Ginkgo biloba in 120 mg capsules: recommended intake and precautions

Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is a tree native to China, often planted in parks and streets for its fan-shaped leaves that turn yellow in autumn. It is the leaves that are used. Herbal D-tox offers it in a box of 100 vegetable capsules of 120 mg. It is a food supplement; its product page shows the ingredients, the recommended intake and the precautions for use.

Ingredients

According to the product page: ginkgo biloba extract, 120 mg per vegetable capsule, 100 capsules per box. This dosage differs from the other plants in capsules in our shop, which are almost all offered at 500 mg.

How many ginkgo capsules a day?

The product page recommends 1 to 2 capsules a day, preferably with meals and a large glass of water. A box of 100 capsules therefore lasts 100 days at 1 capsule a day and 50 days at 2 capsules a day. Do not exceed the stated intake.

120 mg or 500 mg capsules: what is the difference?

Ginkgo capsules contain 120 mg of extract, whereas the other plants in our shop (green tea, moringa, astragalus, ginger…) are 500 mg capsules of ground plant. So the number of capsules cannot be compared from one plant to another: each product page gives its own recommended intake.

Other plants in capsules

Moringa (Moringa oleifera): box of 100 capsules of 500 mg.
Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus): box of 100 capsules of 500 mg.
