What is the recommendation regarding the use of ginkgo biloba during pregnancy?

The recommendation regarding the use of ginkgo biloba during pregnancy is that it is not recommended. This is based on evidence suggesting that ginkgo biloba can have pharmacological effects that may pose risks during pregnancy. It may interact with blood clotting mechanisms and affect fetal development. The lack of comprehensive clinical studies confirming its safety profile in pregnant women further supports the caution against its use. Given these potential risks and the need for a safe environment for fetal development, it is prudent to avoid ginkgo biloba during pregnancy.

While some options suggest that it may be safe or beneficial with physician consultation or for mood improvement, those recommendations do not sufficiently address the potential risks, indicating that the safest approach is to avoid ginkgo biloba altogether during this sensitive period.
