Is EGb-761 the same as the 24% Ginkgo flavone glycosides / 6% terpene lactones extract seen in a lot of Ginkgo supplements?
A quick search on Amazon didn't show much for Ginkgo brands advertising "EGb-761", but they did use those %age extracts.
Example: Ginkgold. It mentions that it's been used in >400 studies, which would be surprising if it wasn't EGb-761.
Supplement marketing is hilarious. Ginkgold "activates all areas of the brain!" - so, this stuff will cause generalized seizures? I'm not sure what advantage "activating all area of the brain" would have. Wouldn't it be like using every letter of the alphabet in every single sentence? Got to give them credit for citing their claim (1995 study) though. That's pretty rare with supplements.

Question for any pharmacists or anyone knowledgeable regarding supplements in the US. Are there any guidelines toward finding high quality brands, like USP / other certification and whatnot, or is it pretty much always a crapshoot?
I found a website called labdoor that analyzes purity & label accuracy for different supplement brands, it's made me think quality is more of a crapshoot but I want to hear what you guys say.
