Features and benefits

How it works
Ginkgo increases blood flow and so can increase tissue nutrition. It
tones and helps normalise circulation as it has a relaxing (vasodilating)
effect on arteries and a toning effect on veins. Ginkgo increases the
fluidity of blood and in this way may improve peripheral circulation.
Improving circulation can enhance the utilization of oxygen and glucose by
the body.
Brain cells require large amounts of energy to function properly. Glucose
and oxygen need to be constantly supplied to the brain cells to create
energy, as the brain has very small energy reserves. Many studies have shown
positive effects of ginkgo on working memory, the speed of information
processing and learning.
