Ginkgo Biloba
Brand: Village Green Pathway
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary active compounds in Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract are ginkgoflavonglucosides and terpene lactones (ginkgolides and bilobalide). These work synergistically at the cellular level to enhance cerebral blood flow by promoting vasodilation and reducing blood viscosity. Furthermore, Ginkgo Biloba acts as a potent antioxidant, scavenging free radicals in neural tissues to protect mitochondria from oxidative stress, which is essential for maintaining cellular energy and cognitive longevity.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports healthy cognitive function and mental clarity
- Promotes peripheral circulation to extremities
- Contains standardized extract for consistent potency
- Antioxidant protection for brain cells
Usage & Safety
The recommended dosage is 1 veggie capsule daily, taken with a meal to enhance absorption. Consistency is key for optimal results; take it at the same time each day. Consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if you are taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) or have a history of bleeding disorders, as Ginkgo may interact with these medications.
