イチョウ葉エキス (Ichoba Ekisu)

Japanese standardised-extract producers maintain ≥24% flavone glycosides / ≥6% terpene lactone specification with ginkgolic-acid removal; trusted by overseas memory-supplement OEMs.
Flavone glycoside 24-26%; terpene lactone 6-9%; ginkgolic acid <5 ppm; bioactive: bilobalide, ginkgolide A/B/C.
Memory / cognition supplements, circulatory-support nutraceuticals, anti-ageing skincare.
Standardised extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves — globally established for cognitive support and circulatory positioning. Japanese cultivation centres on Aichi, Niigata, and Yamagata, with mature processing infrastructure for both flavone-glycoside and terpene-lactone fractions. Domestic Japanese FFC notifications cover memory and cognition support per a strict standardised-extract specification (≥24% flavone glycosides, ≥6% terpene lactones). Distinct quality controls remove ginkgolic acid below international supplement caps. Substantial export to North American and European supplement OEMs as a reference Japanese standardised extract.
