Ginkgo Seed (Ginkgo Biloba) Liquid Extract Tincture, Seed

Both are liquid extracts of the same Ginkgo biloba seed; only the solvent differs. The tincture uses alcohol as the traditional solvent, with vegetable glycerin and water. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, suited to those who avoid alcohol. Both deliver the seed's constituents in a convenient liquid you take by the drop. Choose the tincture for a classic alcohol-extracted format with a longer shelf life; choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol. See the safety note below.

This is the seed, and the distinction is important. Almost all of the famous ginkgo products - the ones associated with memory and circulation - are made from the ginkgo LEAF, which is a different part of the tree with its own constituents and uses. Our product is made from the ginkgo SEED, known as Bai Guo, which has a separate traditional history and, importantly, a different safety profile. The ginkgo seed also has a culinary version, the cooked ginkgo nut eaten in some Asian cuisines, but even that is eaten only in limited amounts because of the seed's natural compounds; our product is a supplement extract of the seed, not a food, and not the leaf. We label our product clearly by botanical name (Ginkgo biloba) and plant part (seed) so there is no confusion with the ginkgo leaf or the culinary nut.

Shake well before use. Use the number of drops and the frequency shown on the label, in a little water, tea or juice, or as directed by your practitioner. Do not exceed the suggested serving. Please read the important safety note below before use. Drink the entire contents.

Please read this carefully, because ginkgo seed has important safety considerations. Ginkgo seed naturally contains a compound called ginkgotoxin, which in large amounts, or in raw seeds, can be harmful and has been associated with vomiting and even seizures, especially in children. For this reason, do not exceed the suggested serving, do not give this product to children, and do not use it if you have a seizure disorder such as epilepsy. Ginkgo can also thin the blood, so use caution and speak with your practitioner if you take blood-thinning or antiplatelet medication, or before any planned surgery. Do not use ginkgo seed if you are pregnant or nursing. Some people are allergic to ginkgo, particularly to the seed coat, which contains compounds related to those in poison ivy; discontinue use if you notice any reaction. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children and do not exceed the suggested serving. Discontinue use and consult your practitioner if any adverse reaction occurs. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
