When can I expect to notice the first effects, and how should I plan the course?

Ginkgo Total does not work like caffeine or other fast-acting stimulants. It is a herbal supplement chosen for long-term use as a course — which is how it is traditionally used in European and Asian practice.

Most people begin to notice subjective effects — easier concentration, less of a “foggy” feeling by the middle of the day — no earlier than after 2–4 weeks of regular use. This is because the extract works cumulatively: antioxidant protection and microcirculation support build up gradually, not after a single dose.

A few practical pointers for planning the course:

• Take the supplement at the same time of day — this helps you avoid missing doses and maintain an even level of the substances.
• Many people prefer to take ginkgo in the first half of the day, during active mental work.
• Adults: 1 tablet a day; do not exceed the recommended daily serving.
• If you are taking any medicines that affect blood clotting, or are preparing for a medical procedure, consult a specialist before starting the course.

The supplement is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women or for children. It is best to discuss the length of the course and whether to repeat it with a doctor or pharmacist, based on your individual situation.
