Ginkgo Biloba, or Maidenhair, is a tree native to China that has been grown for thousands of years for a variety of uses.
It is the only surviving member of an ancient order of plants and therefore sometimes it is referred to as a living fossil.
While its leaves and seeds are often used in traditional Chinese medicine, modern research primarily focuses on ginkgo extract, which is made from the leaves.
Ginkgo Biloba Extract 50:1
Our Ginkgo Biloba Extract is 50:1, which means 15,000mg of whole root Ginkgo Leaves are used to make one of our 300mg capsules.
This provides Flavone Glycosides 72mg and Quercetin 30mg (both 3rd party tested) per serving.
Flavonoid C-glycosides show significant antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory activity and anti-diabetes activity, plus many other positive biological effects.
Quercetin is one of the most abundant antioxidants in the diet and plays an important role in helping your body combat free radical damage, which is linked to chronic disease.
Health Benefits
Powerful Antioxidant
Potent antioxidants, which fight the damaging effects of free radicals and may be behind most of its health claims.
Helps Fight Inflammation
Research shows that ginkgo extract can reduce markers of inflammation in both human and animal cells in a variety of disease states.
Circulation and Heart Health
Ginkgo’s apparent ability to increase blood flow to various parts of the body may be the origin of many of its proposed benefits.
One study in people with heart disease who supplemented with ginkgo revealed an immediate increase in blood flow to multiple parts of the body. This was attributed to a 12% increase in levels of circulating nitric oxide, a compound responsible for dilating blood vessels.
Reduces Symptoms of Cognitive Disorders
Ginkgo has been repeatedly evaluated for its ability to reduce anxiety, stress and other symptoms associated with cognitive decline and associated aging.
Improves Brain Function and Well-Being
A handful of small studies support the idea that supplementing with ginkgo may increase mental performance and perceived well-being.
Ginkgo Biloba for Anxiety
In one study, 170 people with generalised anxiety were treated with either 240 mg or 480 mg of ginkgo or a placebo. The group treated with the highest dose of ginkgo reported a 45% greater reduction in symptoms of anxiety, compared to the placebo group.
