Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba supplements are popular dietary supplements used to support mental performance, memory, and cognitive function. Ginkgo biloba is a plant native to China that has been traditionally used for centuries in Chinese medicine. The active constituents of the ginkgo leaf are believed to be responsible for its health benefits. These include flavonoids (antioxidants) and terpenoid lactones which have anti-inflammatory properties and may help improve blood flow throughout the body, including to the brain. Additionally, research suggests that taking ginkgo may enhance communication between neurons in the brain by improving transmission of signals from one neuron to another.
