GINKGO BILOBA LEAF EXTRACT

Ginkgo is commonly added to energy drinks, but in many of the drinks the amount is typically so low that the true benefits of ginkgo biloba may not be reaped. Ginkgo biloba supplements are usually taken in the range of 40-200 mg per day. Some of the more effective energy drinks actually do contain dosages within this range.

Out of the many conflicting research results, Ginkgo biloba extract is believed to have three major effects on the human body: it improves blood flow (including micro circulation in small capillaries) to most tissues and organs; it protects against oxidative cell damage from free radicals; and it blocks many of the effects of platelet-activating factor (platelet aggregation, blood clotting) that have been related to the development of a number of cardiovascular, renal, respiratory and CNS (Central Nervous System) disorders. Ginkgo biloba can be used for intermittent claudication.

According to some studies, in a few cases, Ginkgo biloba can significantly improve attention in healthy people. For this reason it is included in energy drinks. The effect is almost immediate and reaches its peak in 2.5 hours after the intake.
