Ginkgo/Gotu Kola Concentrate (Circulatory, Nervous). Ginkgo leaf extract is the most popular herbal food in Germany and France, outselling other herbal products by 20 percent.

Each tablet provides 40 mg of concentrated ginkgo leaf extract, standardized to 24 percent ginkgo flavone glycosides, 6 percent terpene lactones and 100 mg of gotu kola.
