Ginkgo Biloba Facts
Ginkgo Biloba is an ancient tree found in China and Japan, and this species has been around for over 200 million years. Its leaves are used medicinally as an ancient Chinese remedy for coughs, asthma and treatment of inflammation due to allergies. Ginkgo Biloba increases the blood flow and oxygen to the brain to help alleviate memory-related problems. This increased circulation may also be beneficial to help men achieve and maintain an erection.
How Ginkgo Biloba Works
Ginkgo Biloba contains terpene lactones called ginkgolides and bilobalides, which exert a positive effect on the vascular system of blood vessels, and to help deliver blood and oxygen to the organs, improve circulation and enhance the nervous system. This increase of blood flow benefits the brain and lower extremities and helps to regulate the tone and elasticity of blood vessels. Studies have shown that Ginkgo Biloba can be effective in the treatment of erectile dysfunction due to lack of blood flow. It also works as an expectorant to provide asthma and allergy relief. Ginkgo Biloba and its flavone glycosides offer excellent antioxidant properties to eliminate free radicals and maintain healthy blood cells.
