About these substances
Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Ginkgo biloba extract comes from the leaves of the ginkgo tree, a plant used for centuries in traditional remedies and now found in many dietary supplements. You might see it in products marketed for memory or circulation support. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified this extract as Group 2B, meaning it is "possibly carcinogenic to humans." This classification is based on limited evidence from animal studies, not on clear proof that it causes cancer in people. IARC reviews available scientific studies to flag substances that may pose a risk, helping regulators and consumers make informed choices. The key point is that this is a precautionary label, not a definitive warning. For more details, see the IARC Monographs at https://monographs.iarc.who.int/list-of-classifications. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.
