Standardised Ginkgo biloba extract is a widely applied botanical raw material in functional foods and dietary supplements worldwide. It is extracted from dried ginkgo leaves, with flavonol glycosides and terpene lactones as its two core active fractions, which together define the stable performance of the finished ingredient.

What Is Ginkgo Biloba Extract?

This botanical raw material offers remarkable application advantages. It assists in supporting healthy blood circulation and vascular function, scavenges excess free radicals, relieves physical tiredness and helps maintain metabolic balance. At the same time, it supports cerebral blood flow, eases mental fatigue and improves focus, which is why the ingredient is commonly added to cognition-support wellness supplements.

Key Active Compounds

The two principal active groups are flavone glycosides and terpene lactones (ginkgolides and bilobalide). A standardised extract such as EGb 761 typically delivers roughly 24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones. A review of Ginkgo biloba extract describes the neuroprotective mechanisms associated with these constituents and the practical use of the standardised product.

Common Specifications and Grades

High-quality ginkgo biloba extract features high purity, low impurities and stable active content across different batches. The powder offers good solubility for easy absorption and can be processed into capsules, tablets and liquid functional beverages. We implement strict food-grade production standards without extra additives, and complete certification documentation can be provided to meet the audit requirements of global supplement brands.

Applications in Supplements and Functional Foods

The fixed ratio of flavonol glycosides and terpene lactones is the key quality-control indicator for a qualified botanical ingredient. Rigorous production procedures control heavy metal, solvent residue and microbial indexes strictly, complying with international food-safety regulations. Its excellent dissolving property greatly simplifies downstream production steps, making this classic ingredient competitive in the global plant raw-material market.
