Ginkgo biloba

Ginkgo biloba or Maidenhair Tree as it is also known, is one of the oldest living tree species and its leaves are among the most extensively studied botanicals in use today.

Ginkgo  has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. To-day in Europe and the United States, ginkgo supplements are among the best-selling herbal medications and it consistently ranks as a top medicine prescribed in France and Germany.

Scientists have conducted many studies, in order to see all the beneficial effects of Ginkgo biloba, Unlike many other medicinal herbs, ginkgo leaves are not frequently used in their crude state, but rather in the form of a concentrated, standardized ginkgo biloba extract (GBE).

Research has shown That Ginkgo has the ability to protect the memory and to prevent the memory loss by improving the blood flow to the brain. Actually, the blood flow to all the organs is improved. Ginkgo has also  been shown to improve circulation to both large arteries and the smaller capillaries throughout the body. It also provides protection against oxidative cell damage from free radicals

Another important effect of Ginkgo biloba is that it prevents Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) cholesterol from turning into plaque. If the transformation succeeds, plaque is deposited on the arteries and the blood circulates with difficulty. By preventing this change, Ginkgo biloba  helps people to avoid stroke, which is also a major cause of memory loss.
