What is Ginkgo Biloba Extract?
Gingko Biloba is one of themost commonly used herbs which has been traditional in Chinese medicine for 1000’s of years.
What Can It Do?
Ginkgo Biloba is particularly useful in the winter months because it improves the blood supply from the heart to the extremities, i.e. hands and feet. It also improves circulation in the legs which helps fight leg cramps.
Many studies have proven the effectiveness of Ginkgo Biloba in helping circulation in the brain. Taking Ginkgo Biloba increases the level of arousal of the brain, taking the strain of remembering away and restoring short term memory.
Gingko Biloba helps improve alertness and general concentration.
The main active compounds in Ginkgo Biloba are called Glycosides and it is recommended to take a standardised product with at least 24% Glycosides contained.
Glycosides have also been shown to inhibit a naturally occurring substance known as Platelet Activating Factor (PAF). PAF causes sticky platelets to clump together and form blood clots.
Ginkgo Biloba appears to work by opening the blood vessels, which then accounts for increased blood flow in the brain which in turn means increased levels of oxygen. A lack of oxygen to the brain can mean loss of mental alertness.
Contraindications
The Elderly suffering from circulatory problems should consult their doctor before using Gingko, as such problems can indicate a more serious disease.
