Gingko biloba is one of the oldest tree species. It is native to China. but it was planted successfully in Japan, hence it is called commonly Japanese silver apricot. Biologists emphasize unique resistance of this extraordinary tree.

Ginkgo leaves have been used for ages in phytotherapy. They contain over 60 biologically active ingredients, but two groups of substances are of the greatest importance – flavonoids and terpenoids. High-quality supplements are standardised for their content.

Natural brain doping  
Gingko biloba is perfect for individuals undertaking strenuous mental activity. It helps strengthen memory, increases mental performance and speeds up learning. It has several mechanisms of action.

Glycosides and terpenoids found in Gingko biloba leaves stimulate cerebral and peripheral circulation. They function by activating the synthesis of nitric oxide and stimulating the production of prostacyclin, critical to vasodilation. In addition, they inhibit the activity of thromboxane A2 that is responsible for the contraction of blood vessels and induces blood platelet aggregation. Healthy brain blood flow is essential to maintain normal cognitive performance because it helps provide the brain with life-giving oxygen and essential nutrients.

Gingko biloba extracts modulate also the activity of neurotransmitters and maintains the proper balance between noradrenaline and dopamine. Some studies show that gingko biloba leaf extracts contribute even to a slight increase in levels of dopamine and its heightened activity in the frontal cortex. This leads to improved focus, higher motivation and also easier planning, analysis and reasoning.

Scientific studies have demonstrated that substances found in gingko biloba leaves may also reduce acetylcholine breakdown. It is of vital importance to the formation of memory traces and the process of learning.

Neuroprotective properties  
Gingko biloba extracts may reduce the risk of dementia and neurodegenerative diseases. They protect neurons from damage via many mechanisms. Compounds found in leaves are potent antioxidants which neutralise easily reactive oxygen species and reduce oxidative stress in the brain.

Scientists have proven that Gingko biloba may also inhibit the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques. The accumulation of amyloid plaques has a vital role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease.

Enhanced mood
Gingko biloba extracts promote well-being. They increase levels of energy and vitality, but they are not as stimulating as e.g. caffeine. However, they help improve your mood, adds zest for life and may reduce anxiety.

Such effects are due to balanced brain chemistry. Scientists have shown that Gingko biloba may inhibit serotonin reuptake and helps maintain optimal norepinephrine and dopamine levels. In addition, it acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme MAO which regulates the function of the central nervous system. Substances found in Gingko biloba leaves may also prevent a decrease in the number of serotonin receptors that is typical of the ageing body. Owing to that, you can enjoy life for longer and stay cheerful till old age.

Stimulation of sexual function   
Gingko biloba extracts works well in the treatment of various sexual dysfunction, in particular if they are a side effect of SSRI antidepressants. Studies show that they are 84% effective. They restore natural sex drive and prevent erectile dysfuction.

To sum up, Now Foods Gingko Biloba is an effective way to promote brain health and increase intellectual performance. The supplement may be recommended especially to individuals who observed a deterioration in their memory and cognitive functions. The preparation can be used also by men who struggle with sexual dysfunction.
