What is Ginkgo Biloba?

Ginkgo biloba originates from Southeast Asia. The plant is around 240 million years old. Due to its healing properties it has been actively used in traditional Asian medicine for a few centuries.

Flavone glycosides and terpene lactones are the most valuable components of ginkgo biloba leaves. Dried high-quality leaves which have preserved beneficial substances and efficiency are used for its production.

Benefits of Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba is beneficial for the human body and contributes to:

• improvement of memory and attention;

Improved blood flow is beneficial not only for the brain but other organs, too, since it provides them with oxygen and nutrients.
