What is Ginkgo biloba and where does it come from?

Ginkgo biloba comes from the ginkgo tree, one of the heartiest and oldest trees around. The ginkgo tree has existed unchanged for more than 150 million years.

What does Ginkgo biloba do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?

Ginkgo biloba is amazing to say the least. Studies show that it can improve brain and memory function by enhancing oxygenation, support the heart and maintain healthy blood circulation, and help preserve general vitality and health. Ginkgo biloba also has some incredible medical properties. The Chinese found that ginkgo increased sexual energy, regulated blood flow to the brain, legs, and other extremities, and promoted general longevity. Good blood circulation is essential for good health. The cells in the body become less dynamic, we experience more aches and pains, and our senses become dulled.

However, with proper supplementation of ginkgo biloba, life and vigor can be prolonged and enhanced. Studies conducted on the supplement showed it improves the quality and quantity of microcirculation, which causes circulation to be improved throughout the body. It also prevents damage to our organs by dangerous chemicals (free radicals), while blocking the platelet-activating factor (PAF). The results of modern research on ginkgo biloba are phenomenal. A study on ginkgo's mental effects showed that 58% of a group of elderly patients who took 160 mg/day showed improvement in memory, alertness, attention, mood, and awareness over those taking a placebo. The research is so plentiful, I can't hope to tell about it all hear

Who needs ginkgo?

As ginkgo is a brain enhancer, it may help improve memory and brain function. Sexually, ginkgo has been shown to be a supportive herb for maintaining healthy sexual function. Anyone who suspects circulation problems may benefit from ginkgo's wonderful blood circulating properties.

How much ginkgo biloba should be taken? Are there any side effects?

Ginkgo absorbs into the body easily and has no known toxicity. However, like any dietary supplement, it is important to take ginkgo biloba correctly. Either capsules or extracts can be taken. Ginkgo biloba supplement should be taken at a dose ranging from 40 to 200 mg of three times per day. Generally, 60mg three times per day is a good rule of thumb. Up to 240 mg per day are used by some people.
