What Experts Say

Ginkgo Biloba Extract EGb 761 is standardized to contain flavone glycosides and terpene lactones, mainly ginkgolides and bilobalide. These compounds inhibit platelet activating factor and act as antioxidants, improving blood flow through small vessels in the brain and limbs. This dual action addresses both vascular and oxidative components of age related cognitive decline.

The standard dose of 40mg three times daily reflects the regimen used in clinical trials on EGb 761 that showed measurable improvement in memory tests and walking distance in claudication. Doctors ask patients to continue treatment for four to six weeks before judging benefit, since the extract works gradually through microcirculation rather than an immediate effect.

Because Ginkgo biloba affects platelet function, prescribers monitor patients who also take aspirin, warfarin or other blood thinning medicines for bruising or unusual bleeding. It is generally stopped before planned surgery. Careful history about bleeding disorders and current medicines is essential before prescribing this extract.
