Ginkgo Biloba Certified Extract 120 mg - 365 Vegetarian Capsules

Helps maintain memory and healthy circulation.

Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest trees known and has been used to support health for nearly 2,800 years. Ginkgo has been found to:

- Support healthy circulation.
- Help maintain the normal function and tone of blood vessels.
- Support healthy oxygen and glucose metabolism in the brain.
- Stabilize capillaries and make them less fragile.
- Support normal coagulation of blood.
- Support healthy aging in the brain.

Ginkgo leaf extracts boast several active components that serve as potent neuroprotective and cardioprotective agents. Among these are flavonoids such as rutin, quercetin, kaempferol, and proanthocyanidins, terpenoids, specifically ginkgolides, and organic acids. A known hallmark of flavonoids is their ability to reinforce capillaries, encourage healthy blood flow to the brain, and maintain cognitive well-being.

Ginkgo biloba's flavonoids, like quercetin and kaempferol, provide remarkable antioxidant properties capable of warding off various free radicals that attack our cells. By shielding against oxidative damage, the Ginkgo extract protects the mitochondria responsible for producing energy in our cells, promoting optimum oxygen utilization, and cellular respiration. Additionally, Ginkgo is believed to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines linked to cellular inflammation, such as IL-1beta and TNF-alpha, while simultaneously encouraging the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines like IL-10.

A groundbreaking study has revealed that standardized ginkgo extract can effectively prevent age-related decline in mitochondrial structure and function. By comparing the brains and livers of old mice that were fed ginkgo extract in their drinking water to those of young and old control mice, researchers found that the extract significantly reduced genetic damage, peroxide generation, and oxidation of the crucial antioxidant glutathione. In addition, the mitochondria of old mice that received ginkgo extract were similar in size and morphology to those of young mice. These findings confirm the powerful protective ability of ginkgo extract against oxidative damage.
