Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The active compound in Ginkgo Biloba (leaves) Extract is standardized to contain flavonoids and terpenoids. At a cellular level, these antioxidants combat oxidative stress, protecting mitochondria and neurons from damage. Flavonoids help stabilize cell membranes, while terpenoids like ginkgolides inhibit Platelet-Activating Factor (PAF). This action improves blood flow by reducing blood viscosity, ensuring better oxygen and nutrient delivery to brain tissues and extremities.
Key Benefits

- Supports healthy cognitive function and memory recall
