What is Ginkgo?: Ginkgo Biloba is one of the most unique trees on the planet today. It is so removed from other modern trees that it stands alone in its own Order. Charles Darwin called the tree a 'living fossil'. The Ginkgo Biloba is the world's oldest living tree, a species whose existence can be traced back-over 250 million years! Ginkgoaceae belong to the class of the Ginkgophytes. This class constituted the link between the ferns and the angiosperms (flowering plants ).This fascinating tree is dioecious (male and female flowers grow on different trees). The Ginkgo Biloba tree was first discovered by westerners in China in 1690 by Kaempfer, who wrote the first scientific description of the tree. At the time of its discovery the Ginkgo had not been found growing in the wild. It had been preserved as a sacred tree in Chinese temple gardens since ancient times. The Ginkgo tree is also called the Maidenhair Tree because its leaves closely resemble those of the Maidenhair Fern.

To make 24/6 (24% flavonoids and 6 % terpene) Ginkgo Biloba extract, fifty pounds of premium leaves are concentrated into one pound of Ginkgo extract. It is a rich source of Diterpene Lactones (Ginkgolides A, B, C, and Bilobalide) and Bioflavonoids (Quercetin, Kaempferol, Isohamnetin, and Flavonoids). Scientists also discovered that Ginkgo contains an abundance of useful compounds including the antioxidants, Vitamin C, and carotenoids.

How Ginkgo Works: The ginkgo flavonoids act specifically to dilate the smallest segment of the circulatory system, the micro-capillaries, which has a widespread affect on the organs, especially the brain. Researchers have also reported that Ginkgo extracts effectively increase blood circulation and increase oxygen levels in brain tissues. Ginkgo is also a powerful antioxidant that prevents platelet aggregation inside arterial walls, keeping them flexible and decreasing the formation of arteriosclerositic plaque.

Recently western researchers have been studying ginkgo biloba as a treatment for senility, hardening of the arteries, and as a treatment for oxygen deprivation. More than 34 human and hundreds of animal and chemical studies on Ginkgo Biloba have been published since 1975, showing, among other things, that Ginkgo can increases the body's production of the universal energy molecule adenosine triphosphate, commonly called ATP. This activity has been shown to boost the brains energy metabolism of glucose and increase electrical activity.

Ginkgo Biloba's ability to improve blood flow has been shown in numerous studies with the elderly, leading German researchers have been studying Ginkgo Biloba extract supplements as a treatment for atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease. This condition can cause a condition marked by decreased blood flow to the limbs caused by hardening of the arteries. One indicator of this condition is severe pain felt in the legs when attempting to walk even short distances, referred to as intermittent claudication. German researchers found that treatment with ginkgo extracts improved circulation to the extremities and made it possible for patients with atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease to walk further with much less pain.
