Ginkgo Biloba…enhances mental performance* Features & Benefits
Facts About GinkgoResearchers suggest that the benefits of Ginkgo biloba leaf
may be related to this herb’s antioxidant in a wide range of body
functions.*6
Ginkgo is particularly useful for elderly individuals suffering
from poor brain function, characterized by memory impairment, difficulty
concentrating and confusion.* Researchers from the University of Limburg,
The Netherlands, conducted a critical review of 40 clinical trials related
to Ginkgo and poor brain function.7 The researchers focused on eight
trials conducted with the most stringent criteria. Of these, all but one
showed positive results for the Ginkgo leaf extract compared to placebo,
in terms of poor brain function.
Additional human clinical trials demonstrate favorable benefits for
Ginkgo leaf extract in cases of mild to moderate memory impairment.*8 One
study of 90 older adults with poor brain function found improvements in
information processing, concentration and memory after the administration
of 150 mg of Ginkgo Biloba extract daily for 12 weeks.9
Another function of Ginkgo biloba leaf extract reported in several
studies in Ginkgo’s ability to inhibit a substance known as platelet
activating factor (PAF).*10 PAF is responsible for the clumping of blood
platelets, the release of histamine and increased blood “stickiness.”
When blood platelets become sticky, they tend to join into clumps, which
increases the risk of stroke and heart attack. Ingredient
Highlights Ginkgo Biloba is the world’s
oldest living tree species - over 200 million years old and has been used
as medicine for centuries. Whole leaf Ginkgo extract is more effective
that any of the components alone. The most active ingredients are terpene
lactones, including ginkgolides A, B, C and J. Terpenes are more easily
absorbed and have greater blood vessel protective properties than Ginkgo
flavonoids.* The active flavonoids are glycosides, heterosides and
proanthocyanidins (OPCs). References
