| Overview | The Core & Benefits | Additives | Conclusions |
In this Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo Biloba Review, we’ll uncover all that there is to be and get uncovered about this specific supplement.
So, we’ll first work our way through various promises and claims that the manufacturer makes. After that, we’ll explore the core ingredients of the supplement, as well as the benefits associated with them. Lastly, we’ll look into the additives and explore how good they are for your health and prolonged consumption.
Marketing’s Typical To What We Usually See By This Manufacturer
Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo Biloba is a herbal supplement that contains a herb that has been used in Chinese medicine for more than 1,000 years, and in so offers ancient wisdom of improved health.
There are 2 various capsule-form Ginko Biloba supplements available by Nature’s Bounty. Although both of them have their own separate product page, those are barely different at all, moreover, both supplements also are practically identical [R, R].
On those description pages, apart from supplement facts, absolutely the same information on the supplements is offered. And it’s extremely scarce. Just two sentences to be exact.
I mean, it does seem that there’s a lot of information there as the page offers sections on highlights (next to the supplement to the right), description, FAQ’s, related products, related information, and reviews.
But most of these sections have barely any information there. For example, there is just one review available, one piece of content when it comes to related information available, whereas, it actually seems rather unrelated to be honest.
So, the two sentences, in essence, proclaim that either of these supplements as the benefits offers improved brain function and mental awareness, as well as promote healthy circulation to the extremities (arms, legs, and brain).
It does not, however, specify what kind of circulation is meant? Blood circulation? Because although it’s less likely other kinds of circulations also might have been meant with that expression.
At the end of the day, this probably sounds pretty straightforward and pretty awesome to anyone, who wants to improve their brain function and mental potential.
So, is this supplement actually great for this? Let’s explore.
It’s Not What Most Believe, AKA Ginkgo Biloba’s Not For Memory
As I mentioned earlier, despite there being supposedly two different Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo Biloba supplements both of them are exactly the same.
That is everything apart from different amounts and one less additive for the less potent option (otherwise having exactly the same additives as the more potent one does).
The less potent option offers 60 milligrams of Ginkgo biloba leaf that is standardized to contain 24% Ginkgo Flavone Glycosides (or 14.4 mg) and 6% Terpene Lactones (3.6 mg). Whereas the more potent option is exactly the same only twice the amount.
Or just to make it perfectly clear and the math is right, 120 milligrams of Ginkgo biloba leaf that is standardized to contain 24% Ginkgo Flavone Glycosides (or 28.8 mg) and 6% Terpene Lactones (7.2 mg).
This is how the manufacturer puts it, so I imagine some of you might not be familiar with the term ‘standardized’.
In truth, it is just a fancy way of saying that it’s guaranteed for the Ginkgo Biloba extract to contain at least 24% of Ginkgo Flavone Glycosides and 6% Terpene Lactones while also providing recalculation of that percentage in milligrams [R, R].
So, generally speaking, it’s usually the good stuff that gets standardized. And no surprises there, it’s also the case for this supplement. And thus, most of all Ginkgo Biloba’s benefits revolve around the consumption of these substances [R, R, R]
Above all Ginkgo Biloba is a really, really cool herb. On which there is a lot of hype that (it gets also so marketed that way) it improves memory. However, this has been proved to not be the case by some really high standard studies in otherwise healthy individuals [R, R, R, R, R, R].
The truth is that it only helps and improves memory in people who are ailing from diseases like dementia and Alzheimer’s [R, R, R, R, R, R].
Nonetheless, Ginkgo Biloba is still very beneficial proven to have truly great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities, to improve sleep quality, to inhibit anxiety, to improve blood flow and mood, to help restore vision, to reduce muscle pain, to prevent fatigue, to promote healthy skin, and provide with other awesome benefits [R, R, R, R, R, R].
Thus, all in all, it could be said that the claims displayed for Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo Biloba supplement are somewhat accurate. It definitely improves brain function in some capacity, as well as the blood flow.
About that mental awareness, I’m not that sure though. Well, it does indirectly stem from stuff like improved mood and reduced anxiety as these states of mind will without a doubt hamper your mental awareness.
But none of the many sources I explored covered improved awareness as the benefit. Meaning, you probably won’t improve your awareness if you are otherwise generally happy, enthusiastic, and imperturbable human being.
The Additive Choice Is Great, It’s Quality The Way I See It
People generally tend to look at additives as something bad. This is, however, not the full story. In truth, additives often times are very necessary and in actuality absolutely crucial for the possibility of a supplement.
Meaning if there never were any 99% supplements and medicine, as well as all processed food, would not be possible. In that sense, while I wouldn’t mind the latter, the two former would definitely be a detriment to the society and its health.
Thus, additives are really important, however, they don’t always come at no cost to your health. This is why it’s always important to either avoid the kind of additives or to the very least know how they can potentially affect you.
In that sense, when it comes to the Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo Biloba there is nothing to dislike in either of the two variations of the supplement.
The more potent version uses additives like Rice Flour, Gelatin, Silica, and Vegetable Magnesium Stearate. Whereas the less potent option’s only difference is that it does not contain Silica while containing the rest of the three.
All of these are absolutely harmless and okay to use long-term. I mean you can get something like an unpleasant feel or smell in the mouth from Gelatin but other than that it’s amazingly beneficial. Or you might get confused about Magnesium Stearate as it’s hugely controversial but at the end of the day, no worries, it’s harmless [R, R, R, R, R].
Moreover, the very modest amounts of the additives and the good quality of those also guarantees that the Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo Biloba subscribes to various free-of claims.
To that account, these definitely hold true – Non-GMO, No Artificial Color, Flavor or Sweetener, No Preservatives, No Sugar, No Milk, No Lactose, No Soy, No Gluten, No Wheat, No Yeast, No Fish Sodium Free.
So, not only are the additives harmless but also they guarantee that a wide range of people that need to or want to avoid certain allergens can easily do so with this supplement.
Which needless to say is amazing.
This Nature’s Bounty Seems To Be Good Enough To Shortlist
If you’re in the market for a solid Ginkgo Biloba supplement Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo Biloba is a decent choice.
It offers good amounts of the herb while also ensuring that some of the good stuff is definitely there. On top of that, the additives it uses are among the most harmless there is.
Ultimately, there really is no reason you should not pick it up as it can only add to your health and well-being.
Other than that, I hope this Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo Biloba review helped you find the information you were looking for. But if not, let me know in the comments.
If their’s one thing an average Chinese is known for, is their longevity. My inquisitiveness was only satisfied having found out their secret. Simply, it lies in natural herbs.
Checking the life expectancy data across few nation’s of the world, a section where the ratio does not fall into a decline is where natural herbs are embrassed and fully exploited. I have seen many of their aged men and women still vibrant, energetic and ebullient in their eighties, nineties and even, hundreds.
I have no doubt that Ginkgo Biloba will prove any exception. The supplements are necessary for good well being.

Great review Matiss,
I was really surprised that it doesn’t boost memory! Bummer. But it’s a good thing that it’s beneficial to those with Alzheimer’s. Some marketers will stop at nothing to over-exaggerate their products or bend the truth a little so that they’ll make sales. Thank you for being honest about it and spreading the truth.
Hey, Riaz!
I can totally relate. I too was surprised when I initially found that out. But it helps to realize the enormous influence marketers and media has on us. And that it’s best to check the facts. Because in all honesty, I feel they do manage to mix them up to best suit their needs quite a bit – be it, marketers, to get more sales or media to create controversialness – it’s how they uniquely benefit and earn income.
All about the truth. :)
Cheers, and have a Great One!

That this supplement is beneficial to sufferers from Alzheimers, or dementia, is good news for senior citizens, who can’t remember where they left their keys, or glasses,or where they live.
For healthy younger folks, it’s good that this can give you more alertness, and ability for Quick responses.
And for sports minded people, better circulation, means more strength for running, swimming ,football, or other sports.
For sufferers from anxiety and sleeplessness, what would you give, for a peaceful frame of mind, and being able to get a good nights sleep?
It is a good thing, that the additives are harmless, and will give no bad side effects.
Hey, Robert!
I feel you summarized it perfectly!
Glad you got something out of the article!

Thanks for writing out this lovely article and I must say its a must for everyone to read and digest. This article beautifully reveals the benefits of ginkgo biloba. It improves healthy living and also helps in brain memory. It also improves blood flow. I would love to order for this to help my partner restore her vision back. I hope it works for her perfectly.
Thanks for providing this insightful article. Best regards!
Hey, Adamuts!
Thank you for the kind words, they are sincerely appreciated!
Above all, I’m delighted you enjoyed the article. But above even that, I feel this might not be the perfect choice to try in helping restore vision. In that regard, you might find extremely useful this article. No promises though.
Cheers, and have a Great One!

That’s good to hear. Supplements that can work like the Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo Biloba is rare to find, I mean the functions of Ginkgo biloba which can improve memories to mostly those that are having some diseases. Herb that has been used in Chinese for more one thousand years I think that supplement will be superb. I will love to try it someday, and thanks for the article.
Hey, Chris!

I am a 63-year-old. For years Ginkgo Biloba has been intermittent; the effects I’ve noticed are: I have not changed my diopter for many years, I feel good in general and I have a good night’s sleep. Do not even think about taking supplements anyway, no. I did my own research first and found that Ginkgo Biloba is beneficial to the body without contraindications. Thanks for posting.
Hey, Carmen!
Thank you for sharing your experiences and view on the Ginkgo Biloba. I genuinely appreciate it.
Moreover, I’m happy it has benefited you noticeably.:)
Have a Wonderful Day and Carpe minutam, Carmen,

Hi,
How strange that there are two almost identical products apart from the potency. Thank you for pointing this out as this means I can choose either one without wondering whether I should have been buying the other one.
It does seem to have a lot of benefits. I think the anti-inflammatory benefits will be of particular interest to many people I know as this seems to be an issue for more and more people these days.
Thanks for a great article,
Julia

Hi, thanks for this honest and in-depth review. I’m allergic to certain preservatives used in the production of some supplements. So if it’s actually true that there are no preservatives then it’s worth my buy. I’ll check out more information about this product online and I’ll search for other reviews. If it turns out well, I’ll buy it.
Hey, Sammy!
I’m happy you enjoyed the review, totally made my day!
Yes, definitely do so!

This review has given me the information I needed about the Ginkgo Biloba. I believe that the Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo Biloba’s additives are rare to come by in many supplements. I would prefer to get additives like this, every time I take a look at any supplement. It would be so great but we don’t live in the ideal world, so it may never happen. I have to admit that you have done good work here by carefully reviewing the additives. Thanks for the educative article.
Hey, Olanike!

Nice post but the thing is I’m not a fan of herbs, I see people take herbs for different purposes but believe me I don’t see it as anything. This is just something a very good friend of mine suggested I look into. Actually, surprised it does not help for memory as my friend mentioned that as one of the noteworthy benefits of it. Ultimately, this probably isn’t something for me but regardless I appreciate the insights.
Hey, Destiny!
Thank you for sharing your opinion. I appreciate it.
But above all, I’m happy you found the information here useful. :)
