Ginko Biloba leaves
A plant that has survived the planet for over 200 million years; Ginko biloba might just be what you need to improve your memory and focus.
Ginko biloba contains flavonoids and tepene lactones in its leaves. These particular chemicals are thought to have the same bilogical action in people that they have in the plant.
It's main function is that it protects the body from free radicals (caused by smoking, drinking and poor diet), especially ones that exist in the brain region. It increases metabolism efficiency, regulates neurotransmitters and boosts oxygen levels in the brain.
It also helps to improve circulation by stopping platelets from sticking together in the blood. Enhaned circulation enables the brain to retain information longer by improving reaction time and clarity.
More benefits of Ginko biloba:
- Improved concentration which helps manage symptoms such as: absentmindedness, confusion, depression, tinnitus, anxiety and headaches.
- Controls allergic inflammation, anaphylactic shock and asthma.
