FACTS
The gingko leaf supplies a broad spectrum of substances – flavonoids, terpenes, and other organic compounds collectively called gingko-flavone glycosides – that work together to produce a range of health benefits.
According to ancient Chinese medical texts, gingko has been used as a healing agent for at least 5,000 years. It has been traditionally used to promote blood circulation and to promote good health. It is now also gaining popularity as a brain and memory booster. For centuries, Eastern herbalists have prescribed it to prevent memory loss and other symptoms of mental decline. Western research has given insight to this, having shown that gingko not only enhances communication between nerve cells but also increases blood flow to the brain.
Studies show that gingko inhibits blood cells from sticking together, thus preventing the formation of blood clots that can lead to heart attack or stroke.
