HOW IT WORKS

Ginkgo biloba leaf is one of the most popular well-studied herbs in the world. Its ability to increase circulation has been documented in numerous clinical trials. Hawthorn berries contain flavonoids and compounds that may benefit the circulatory system, especially the heart. They also contain volatile oils, saponins, alkaloids, vitamins and minerals.

SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT

Ginkgo biloba contains flavonoid glycosides, proanthocyanidins, terpene derivatives and other active compounds. It has demonstrated antioxidant properties giving it the ability to quench free radicals. Research indicates that ginkgo’s circulatory-system benefits may result from this special ability. Randomized, double-blind clinical studies using standardized hawthorn berry extract show that hawthorn appears to increase the efficiency of nerve impulses in, and protect against oxygen deprivation of, the heart muscle. Researchers in Germany conducted a randomized, controlled study and found that hawthorn extract can improve heart function in people suffering from chronic heart disease. Hawthorn patients also reported fewer overall symptoms, less fatigue and less shortness of breath.

Ginkgo Biloba / Hawthorne - Herbal Remedies Notes

Serious help for peripheral circulation

     Ginkgo Biloba decreases capillary permeability and platelet aggregation to improve peripheral circulation. In the brain it improves neural activity, cerebrovascular circulation, protects membranes and restores serotonin receptors. The Chinese historically use ginkgo to build vitality and alertness.

     Ginkgo is used clinically to treat memory loss with aging, early stages of Alzheimer's disease, depression, poor circulation to the extremities, impotence, recovery from a stroke, ringing in the ears, early stages of macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

Benefits are often noticed within the first month, but the extract should be used consistently for at least 12 weeks. Use caution if also using blood thinning drugs.

     Research: Ginkgo Biloba (1400+ studies, 168 clinical trials) Ginkgo has well-documented evidence of its effect on memory and cognitive function. It has been shown to increase circulation to the brain and may exert a protective action on nerve cells.1 GBE regulates the tone and elasticity of blood vessels,2 making circulation more efficient.3
