I agree. Must be a typo? 500mg is way too much. The talk radio doc (Dr Dean?) said a couple months back that high doses gingko can cause some sort of eye bleeding that looks like a glass half-filled with blood. Yikes. It thins the blood. I used to take it with no real effect, except it did make me feel a bit more energized and if I cut myself shaving it would bleed forever. I think the dosage is supposed to be more like 60mg to 120mg a day.
