How much of natural ghinko biloba?

[Lurricel]

Not far from my home we got ghinko biloba trees, and I thought that perhaps I might use those leafs and chew them for the brain benefits? I think it would be good to use it directly from the source, all natural. I tried those leafs, they taste sour – how many do you think would be good for brain support?

While it is actually the tree that gives the extract used for the supplement, it will not be potent enough. You need to understand that in supplements a concentrate is used, and you won't be able to get as much active substance just with the leafs. This might be good for health, but I doubt that you will get any sort of a noticeable result just by chewing those leafs.

lev is correct. the potency would be limited
