Helps maintain peripheral circulation
Whilst Ginkgo biloba, sometimes just referred to as 'ginkgo', is best known for its effect in helping maintain peripheral circulation to the extremities of the body such as the legs and hands, there are a number of other uses for this herb including helping maintain memory in the short-term. It is also a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger.
This Ginkgo came out tops in an independent analysis. It is the flavonglycosides that are the yardstick for potency, with a content of 24% flavonglycosides being the standardised figure, and the level used in clinical studies. In a recent survey, a staggering 8 out of the 12 UK retail brands failed to meet the 24% flavonglycosides figure (even though their label claims say differently!).
Each tablet contains a concentrated extract, standardised at 28.8mg (24%) flavonglycosides. Also added is another group of compounds, ‘terpenes’ the most important of which are the ginkgolides and bilobalides. Whilst not analysed these have important properties with regards to circulation, containing 7.2mg per tablet.
Dosage:
1 tablet daily, just after a meal.
Caution:
Do not take if pregnant or breast feeding.
