*This means the total calculation by weight of Ginkgo Biloba is given in the morning, then again at bedtime.
Example: Child weighs 55lbs. X 3mg = 165mg
So give your child the closest dose, which is 180mg (because capsules only come in 60mg or 120mg) in the morning, 180mg at mid-day and 180mg at bedtime. Ginkgo has a 4-6 hour half-life, so half the dose is used within 4-6 hours. We want to keep a constant amount of ginkgo in the system to fight off the GABA.
