APACHE STAR pairs Ginkgo biloba leaf (powder plus 24% flavones extract) with Red Panax Ginseng standardised to 7% ginsenosides. The standardisation percentages are the correct disclosures for both botanicals — 24% ginkgo flavones matches the EGb 761 pharmaceutical extract used in most RCTs, and 7% ginsenosides is a common commercial Panax standardisation. Evidence: ginkgo for cognitive support is mixed at best in healthy adults (GEM Study 2008 found no dementia-prevention benefit) but has some efficacy in mild cognitive impairment and vertigo; Panax ginseng has modest RCT support for cognitive performance under stress and fatigue. The combination is a traditional pairing without unique combination-specific evidence. Solid Standard on formulation discipline and standardisation transparency.
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.

The Vyvata score measures product integrity against a published rubric, not customer sentiment. Vyvata does not aggregate, republish, or license third-party reviews — the links below open search pages on their respective platforms.
Every VSF-related metafield surfaced verbatim. Nothing hidden. If you spot data that looks wrong, let us know.
Every score is set from the published rubric, audit-logged, and rescored whenever new evidence emerges (published trials, updated labels, third-party testing releases). Every vendor is scored on the same criteria — no pay-to-play. See our editorial-independence disclosure for the full policy, including brands with an editorial relationship to this site.
