Ginkgo Biloba (ginkgo biloba)
Standardised extract of ginkgo biloba leaf can increase circulation and has shown antioxidant activity. Studies have confirmed its use for conditions associated with ageing, including memory loss, poor circulation, tinnitus and vertigo. Ginkgo biloba helps aid blood flow to the brain, thereby increasing its oxygen supply. Scientists have shown ginkgo biloba to work in a similar way to aspirin, by helping to reduce the 'stickiness' of the blood. This can lower the risk of blood clots. Ginkgo biloba also has antioxidant properties due to mopping up damaging compounds, known as free radicals which can cause damage to healthy blood cells.
Chinese healers use the ginkgo biloba nuts for healing asthma, as they appear to alleviate wheezing and other respiratory complaints. Solo's ginkgo biloba 120mg extract, is based on recent clinical trails, conducted at Surrey University. These trials were extremely encouraging for ginkgo biloba. One of the earliest documented uses of ginkgo was for its benefits on the brain.However, since then it has found extensive use among people suffering from poor circulation in the extremities- i.e. hands and the feet, and helps in cases of Raynauds disease. In Germany, Ginkgo is a popular prescription drug where standardised extracts are approved for use in cases of dementia and tinnitus. Recent studies, have also suggested its ability to help in an array of situations, ranging from impotence and cellulite. The leaves of the ginkgo tree contain bioflavonoids, organic acids, and many other constituents that comprise a unique natural chemical structure. It is the extracts from the leaves that are today utilised around the world for treatment of various conditions including circulatory varicose, and post-thrombotic disorders. Basically, ginkgo biloba can help to keep the blood vessels open, providing an easier flow to the extremities, and thus eliminating many of the accompanying effects of poor circulation. I
