Ginkgo biloba, also known as maiden hair, is an ancient plant extract that has been used in China to treat various health conditions for thousands of years. In fact, a well-known health magazine reports that it is "the most commonly used herb for brain health."
It has been widely studied for its effective anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, platelet-forming and circulatory stimulating effects.
According to current research, the benefits of ginkgo biloba may include improved cognitive function, positive mood, increased energy, improved memory and reduced symptoms associated with many chronic diseases.
Ginkgo has been studied for decades in France, Germany and China. And although Chinese herbal medicine uses both dried ginkgo leaves and seeds, today the focus of clinical trials is on the effectiveness of the standardized ginkgo biloba extract made from the dried green leaves of the plant.
According to traditional Chinese medicine and current clinical studies, ginkgo biloba is safe, effective and beneficial to the body in many ways, as it exerts protective effects against mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress. It can help reduce inflammation and free radical damage - the two main causes of the most common health conditions.
This extract contains two main ingredients, flavonoids and terpenoids, which have strong antioxidant properties. They are thought to help slow the progression of age-related diseases by preventing damage to tissues, cells and DNA.
