Ginkgo Biloba
For many centuries, extracts derived from the leaves of the primitive deciduous tree Ginkgo biloba have played a crucial role in Chinese herbal medicine. These extracts contain a complex mixture of flavonoid glycosides, terpenes, and other naturally occurring compounds.
Studies have examined many interesting properties of Ginkgo extract, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential, reduction of platelet aggregation, increases to blood flow and circulation, roles in the transmission of nerve signals, and possible benefits for short-term memory. More recent studies have explored the benefit of Ginkgo in treating cognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.
