Ginkgo Biloba Extract 2 Fl Oz

Product Information

The medical benefits of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) are attributed primarily to two groups of active constituents: the ginkgo flavone glycosides and the terpene lactones. Ginkgo flavone glycosides, which typically make up approximately 24% of the extract, are primarily responsible for GBE’s antioxidant activity and may mildly inhibit platelet aggregation (stickiness). These two actions may help GBE prevent circulatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis and support the brain and central nervous system.

• 1 In addition to the cardiovascular system, GBE’s antioxidant action may also extend to the brain and retina of the eye.
• 2 Preliminary trials have suggested potential benefit for people with macular degeneration.
• 3 And diabetic retinopathy.
• 4 The terpene lactones found in GBE, known as ginkgolides and bilobalide, typically make up approximately 6% of the extract. They are associated with increasing circulation to the brain and other parts of the body and may exert a protective action on nerve cells.
• 5 GBE regulates the tone and elasticity of blood vessels.
• 6 Making circulation more efficient.
