Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo Biloba - Mental Focus and the Oldest Tree**

Ginkgo Biloba is the oldest living tree species in the world—fossils of the Ginkgo tree have been found to be over two hundred million years old. The Ginkgo tree itself can live as long as a thousand years.

Ginkgo Biloba can help maintain healthy circulation to the arms, legs and brain.** It also provides you with the supplemental nutrition you need to support brain function and mental focus.** Ginkgo Biloba helps improve memory, especially occasional mild memory problems associated with aging.** Ginkgo Biloba contains antioxidant properties that help fight free radicals in the body.** Free radicals may contribute to the premature aging of cells.

Ginkgo leaf and its extracts naturally contain several active constituents including flavonoids, terpenoids, and organic acids.

Ginkgo Biloba - Clinical Studies Say it All

In a clinical trial of 262 healthy older adults, Ginkgo Biloba Extract was shown to improve mental function compared to placebo. This study also showed Ginkgo effectively supports mental health and clarity.¹

One study tested the ability of Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng to improve aspects of mood and cognitive performance in healthy, young adult volunteers.² Following Ginkgo and a Ginkgo/Ginseng combination, performance on arithmetic tests and self-rated mood improved significantly following the Ginkgo treatment. This study found that Ginkgo may help support mental well being as well as cognitive function.
