Additional Information
Ginkgo Biloba has shown to be helpful in several conditions caused by reduced circulation. Increased circulation to the brain improves mental sharpness, concentration, short-term memory, and cognitive ability. It also helps in some cases of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and vertigo. Improved peripheral circulation helps reduce cold extremities, intermittent leg pain and cramping. Ginkgo also supports treatment for diabetic neuropathy, macular degeneration, and other circulatory related problems. Ginkgo's antioxidant activity protects the brain and nervous system from free radical damage, possibly helping deter the effects of aging. Ginkgo protects the blood-brain barrier (anatomical barriers and transport systems that control types of substances entering extra cellular space of the brain). It decreases blood viscosity (stickiness) by inhibiting the platelet activating factor (PAF). Ginkgo decreases tissue damage during circulatory stress and increases circulation to the extremities. Ginkgo assists in the delivery of oxygen and glucose to the brain. It also protects arteries, veins and capillaries from damage, and helps regulate their tone and elasticity.
