Can You Take Ginkgo Biloba and Prevagen Together?

Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

Prevagen contains apoaequorin, a calcium-binding protein. Ginkgo Biloba increases cerebral blood flow and has mild blood-thinning properties. The safety profile of combining apoaequorin with vasodilatory supplements has not been established.

How to arrange timing

Monitor for headaches or dizziness when combining. Both affect cerebral function through different mechanisms; start with lower doses.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
