Numerous studies have shown ginkgo's restorative effects on the brain – specifically for memory function and the ability to concentrate. Ginkgo enhances blood circulation, increases the amount of oxygen in the blood supply to the brain, and increases the uptake of glucose across the blood-brain barrier.

Another benefit is ginkgo's ability to promote the elasticity and strengthening of blood vessels and capillary walls in the body. Preliminary studies show it may be particularly beneficial for enhancing visual function by strengthening the tiny capillaries within the eyes. Ginkgo can also increase blood flow to tissues in organs and glands, and is particularly beneficial for enhancing healthy skin circulation and circulation to the extremities.

Over 250 clinical trials demonstrate ginkgo's powerful antioxidant effect, attributed mainly to its flavonoids. Ginkgo's potent antioxidant power helps trap, neutralize, and eliminate free radicals before they have a chance to do damage to healthy cells.

Research also shows that ginkgo may help maintain healthy levels of platelet aggregating factor (PAF) in the blood. PAF regulates blood platelet 'stickiness' or the degree to which blood platelets clump together.

Extensive scientific evidence shows Ginkgo Biloba:

• Enhances notropic activities – agents known to enhance mental clarity, memory, and alertness
• Increases vascular tone by supporting healthy circulation in the arteries*
