Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo Biloba | Memory & Circulation

Nature's Bounty Ginkgo Biloba brings one of the world's oldest and most studied botanical supplements into a convenient vegetarian capsule. Ginkgo Biloba is a living fossil — the sole surviving member of the family Ginkgoaceae, traceable back more than 200 million years. The medicinal use of Ginkgo Biloba is recorded as far back as 2800 BC in Chinese writings, and today it remains one of the most commonly used herbal medicines worldwide.

Each capsule of Nature's Bounty Ginkgo Biloba delivers 120 mg of standardized Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract in a 50:1 concentrate. This standardized extract provides optimal levels of naturally occurring flavonglycosides and terpene lactones — the two compound classes considered most pharmacologically important in ginkgo.

Because of the wide variation of ginkgo products on the market, it is important that the Ginkgo Biloba you use is standardized so you are sure to get maximum quality and potency. Nature's Bounty Ginkgo Biloba is made under strict European quality standards, which are comparable to over-the-counter drug standards in the United States. This product is also gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and grain free.

Ginkgo Biloba acts to increase blood flow throughout the body and serves as a very powerful antioxidant, especially important for the brain, retina, and cardiovascular system. Research suggests that the most commonly described mechanisms of action include antioxidant and free-radical scavenging activity, platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonism, enhanced cerebral blood flow, and neurotransmitter modulation.

The flavonol glycosides in ginkgo are potent free-radical scavengers, contributing significantly to the extract's antioxidant activity. This includes protection of neuronal and cardiovascular cells from reactive-oxygen-species-mediated damage. Meanwhile, ginkgolide B — one of the terpene trilactones — is the most potent known naturally occurring inhibitor of platelet-activating factor, a key mediator of anti-aggregatory and anti-inflammatory effects.

Studies suggest that Ginkgo Biloba improves perfusion across different vascular beds without significantly affecting blood pressure and heart rate. Research also indicates that chronic treatment with standardized ginkgo extract may increase dopaminergic transmission in the prefrontal cortex, which is associated with attention and cognitive processing. Additionally, ingredients of ginkgo leaves demonstrate appreciable blood-brain barrier-crossing efficacy and neuroprotective effects.

Nature's Bounty Ginkgo Biloba is designed for adults looking to support memory, circulation, and focus and concentration. Research suggests it may be particularly relevant for individuals interested in maintaining cognitive function as they age, as studies show the most consistent benefits in people experiencing mild age-related cognitive decline.

This supplement may also appeal to those interested in supporting healthy blood flow and cardiovascular function. Studies suggest Ginkgo Biloba improves perfusion in different vascular beds and supports microcirculation through its vasodilatory and PAF-antagonist properties.

Because ginkgo may increase the risk of bleeding in people taking anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin, and may be unsafe during pregnancy, individuals in these categories should consult a healthcare professional before use. Concomitant use with efavirenz is also not recommended.

Take one (1) vegetarian capsule, two (2) times daily with meals.

Each capsule contains 120 mg of standardized Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract in a 50:1 concentrate, providing optimal levels of naturally occurring flavonglycosides and terpene lactones. The bottle contains 50 capsules.
