Ginkgo biloba has existed on Earth for over 300 million years, making it one of the oldest tree species still alive today.
Antioxidant Properties
Ginkgo extract is rich in flavonoids and serves as an important protector of the cell membrane, acting as a cellular anti-aging agent.
Circulatory System
Its action on the venous, capillary, and arterial circulatory systems occurs at three levels: metabolic, rheological, and vascular.
It decreases blood viscosity by improving blood fluidity and reducing platelet aggregation.
It also affects ocular blood micro-capillarity and the eye muscles.
Action on Cerebral Circulation
Ginkgo extract ensures better diffusion of oxygen at the vascular walls, enhancing overall cellular oxygenation. It plays a protective role for the brain by maintaining better membrane polarization.
Ginkgo is also indicated for dyslexia, amnesia, senility disorders (senile dementia), and general cerebral insufficiency.
It helps compensate for certain balance disorders (e.g., Meniere’s disease) and improves tinnitus (if caused by circulatory issues). It stimulates mental agility, short-term memory, learning capacity, and alertness due to increased blood flow to the brain.
Ginkgo extract has been shown to be effective in early-stage mental deterioration associated with Alzheimer’s disease. It is a remarkable brain adaptogen: the plant for seniors and students during exam periods.
Precautions
Due to its blood-thinning action, consult your doctor if you are using chemical anticoagulants simultaneously.
