In this USA it has been one of the ten best selling herbs for more than 7 years and an extract of ginkgo leaf is presently one of the most frequently used plant-based medicines in Europe. The leaves contain ginkgolides, these are compounds that are unknown in any other plant species. The leaves are best harvested in the late summer or early autumn just as they begin to change colour. They are dried for later use. Gingko contains gibberellin, cytokinin-like substances, ginkgolic acid, bilobol, ginnol, aspartine, calcium.
