FUNCTIONS
Ginkgo biloba is the oldest living species of tree, having
survived relatively unchanged for at least 200 million
years. Native to China, ginkgo has long been
recommended in Chinese herbal medicine for its
numerous nutritional benefits for the brain and circulatory
system. Ginkgo leaf extract has been the object of
numerous scientific and clinical studies since the early
1970s and is now probably the most extensively studied
and utilized botanical extract in the world.
Interest in Ginkgo biloba centers on its reputed benefits
on brain function, especially on the aging brain. With
advancing age, the body often suffers from decreased
blood vessel elasticity and tone, and decreased blood
fluidity. Insufficient blood, oxygen, and nutrient flow to
the brain can lead to impairment in cognitive function.
Studies over the past 30 years show that 120 to 240 mg
per day of Ginkgo biloba extract increases blood flow to
the brain resulting in increased oxygen and glucose
utilization with subsequent improvement in mental
function. These benefits are attributed to two main
classes of phytoactive compounds present in the Ginkgo
biloba leaf: ginkgo flavone glycosides and terpene
lactones. As powerful antioxidants, the ginkgo flavone
glycosides counteract the deleterious actions of free
radical accumulation which impairs cellular energy
production, nerve transmission, and increases vascular
rigidity. Ginkgo biloba extract is also reported to inhibit
the tendency of red blood cells to stick together
(“clumping”), thereby enhancing the fluidity of the blood.
Taken together, these actions contribute significantly to
increasing blood flow to the brain.
