Ginkgo
biloba capsule 60mg.
Ginkgo biloba extract (Gbe) and two ingredients, bilobalide
and ginkgolide B, are presented to the CSWG as part of a
review of botanicals being used as dietary supplements in
the United States. ( 1 of 3 adults in the United States are
now taking dietary supplements ).
Gbe is a well defined product, and it or its active
ingredients, the ginkgolides, especially ginkgolide B, and
bilobalide, have clearly demonstrated biological activity.
It can be consumed in rather large doses for an extended
period of time. Under the Dietary Supplement Health and
Education Act of 1994, Gbe can be sold legally if it is not
labeled or accompanied by any therapeutic or health claims.
Herbal remedies can be labeled with descriptions of their
role in affecting physiological structure or function, but
must be labeled with a disclaimer that the product has not
been evaluated by the FDA for cure, prevention, or treatment
of a disease. |
