Ginkgo Biloba Leaves (50g) - Enhance Cognitive Function & Circulation
Ginkgo Biloba, a remarkable ancient tree, has been revered for centuries for its therapeutic properties. Our premium Ginkgo Biloba leaves (50g) offer a potent source of bioactive compounds known to support cognitive health, circulation, and overall well-being.
Powerful Phytochemicals:
- Terpene Trilactones (Ginkgolides & Bilobalides): Found exclusively in Ginkgo Biloba, these compounds are renowned for their potent antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.
- Flavonoid Glycosides: Powerful antioxidants like quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin help combat free radical damage and support cardiovascular health.
- Ginkgolic Acids: While present primarily in the seed coat, these compounds contribute to the plant's overall therapeutic profile. (Note: It is recommended to use only the leaves to avoid potential skin irritation associated with ginkgolic acids).
- Other Beneficial Compounds: The leaves also contain proanthocyanidins, organic acids, and various minerals, contributing to its holistic benefits.
Traditional & Modern Uses:
- Cognitive Function: May improve memory, concentration, and mental clarity, especially in cases of age-related cognitive decline. (Note: Consult your doctor before using Ginkgo Biloba to address cognitive impairment).
- Circulatory Health: May improve blood flow to the extremities, potentially alleviating symptoms of peripheral artery disease and cold hands/feet.
