Ginkgo Biloba 50:1 Extract by Vit4ever
Ginkgo is one of the oldest tree species on earth, and the leaves of this tree have been processed into extract for centuries. This product contains ginkgo biloba extract at a ratio of 50:1, standardized to flavonglycosides and terpenoids. This makes it suitable for anyone who wants to take in a fixed daily amount of these plant compounds without any fuss. For those who prefer working with herbs rather than synthetic substances, this is a logical choice.
What a 50:1 extract exactly entails
The ratio 50:1 indicates the concentration, not the number of milligrams on the label. Fifty kilos of fresh leaves yield approximately one kilo of extract. Manufacturers then standardize that extract to two groups of compounds: flavonglycosides and terpenoids. These are the compounds for which the extract of this tree has traditionally been known. In this product, the extract is standardized to both, so that each tablet contains a comparable composition, regardless of minor variations in the plant itself. This way, you know approximately what you are taking in, even though the exact number of milligrams is not listed separately on the label. The manufacturer chooses to focus on the extract ratio and standardization instead of a separate mg figure. This is more common with herbal extracts than with pure vitamins or minerals, where a figure in milligrams is often the standard. For those who want to understand the difference with plain ginkgo leaf powder: with powder you get the whole leaf ground up, including fibers and filler substances, while with a 50:1 extract that leaf has already been reduced to a concentrated form without the excess material.

Why this jar lasts a year
This jar contains 365 vegan tablets, made without animal ingredients and without gelatin in the coating. Anyone looking for this extract for the long term will have a year's supply at home in one go. Every batch produced is tested in the laboratory for purity, so you know that every tablet contains what is stated on it. Because it is a 50:1 extract from the whole leaf, the composition remains comparable from batch to batch. This way, you do not have to think about a new jar or a different brand halfway through the year. Some people prefer not to combine this extract with other herbs and deliberately stick to one pure source; this jar is suitable for that. Others use it alongside a broader range of supplements, and even then, taking one tablet a day remains easy to maintain.
This version combines a common extract ratio with a practical year's supply in a vegan tablet, without frills and without unnecessary additives.
