Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest trees known and has been used to support health for nearly 2,800 years. Ginkgo has been found to:

• Support healthy circulation64,65
• Help maintain the normal function and tone of blood vessels66,67
• Support healthy oxygen and glucose metabolism in the brain68,69
• Stabilize capillaries and make them less fragile71
• Support normal coagulation of blood72,73
• Support healthy aging in the brain74-78

Ginkgo leaf extracts contain several active constituents with neuroprotective and cardioprotective properties. These include flavonoids (e.g., rutin, quercetin, kaempferol, and proanthocyanidins), terpenoids (i.e., ginkgolides), and organic acids. Flavonoids are known to strengthen capillaries, promote healthy blood flow to the brain, and help maintain cognitive health.79-82

Flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol from Ginkgo biloba are potent antioxidants and scavengers of many species of free radical, protecting against oxidative cell damage.83 Ginkgo protects the energy-producing mitochondria in the cells, thus enhancing oxygen utilization and cellular respiration.75 Ginkgo may also inhibit production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and TNF-alpha while upregulating the production of an anti-inflammatory cytokine called IL-10.84

Ginkgolic acid is an allergen found in all Ginkgo biloba extracts. The stringent German Commission E has set the ginkgolic acid limit at no more than 5 ppm. Super Ginkgo Extract 28/7 has been purified to contain the lowest level of ginkgolic acid possible (no more than 1 ppm).
