The AHPA note that ginkgo seed should not be used long-term. Mild adverse effects included dizziness, somnolence, increased frequency of urination, nausea, and abdominal pain. Avoid crude ginkgo plant parts, which have higher concentrations of the toxic ginkgolic acid constituents and can cause severe allergic reactions\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGinkgo seeds also contain the neurotoxin ginkgotoxin (4'-O-methylpyridoxine). Ginkgotoxin can cause seizures, paralysis, and death in high doses. Ginkgotoxin is present in much larger amounts in ginkgo seeds than leaves. Boiling ginkgo seeds seems to reduce the ginkgotoxin content to safe levels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe German Commission E Monographs note that before starting ginkgo, one must ensure that an underlying disease requiring specific treatment has not caused the symptoms.

Fillers include hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, silicon dioxide, and polyethylene glycol. Remember to read labels to ensure that you are still receiving a pure and “whole herb” product.
