Ginkgo biloba is derived from one of the oldest living tree species in the world, with a history spanning millions of years. It has been traditionally used in Oriental medicine to support respiratory and circulatory health, as well as brain function.

New Roots Herbal utilizes a standardized extract from the leaves of Ginkgo biloba. These leaves contain various compounds, including heterosides, flavonol glycosides, bioflavones, lactones, and terpenes.

Extensive research on Ginkgo biloba suggests it possesses antioxidant properties and may have a positive impact on the cardiovascular system. It supports the lining of blood vessels, promoting venous system tone, and potentially enhancing oxygenation and blood flow, particularly to the brain and extremities.

Ginkgo biloba also exhibits powerful antioxidant activity, contributing to the neutralization of free radicals, which are associated with premature aging and certain cognitive conditions. Antioxidants are known to protect the eyes, cardiovascular system, and central nervous system.

Ginkgo biloba has historically been used to aid conditions such as cerebral and peripheral vascular insufficiency, inner ear dysfunction, and vascular fragility.

This botanical extract stimulates cerebral and peripheral circulation, improving oxygenation and blood flow to the brain, thus enhancing brain functions, memory, and concentration. It also has a warming effect on the extremities, helping alleviate issues like numbness and tingling.

The constituents of Ginkgo biloba offer benefits for various imbalances and deterioration in both the brain and body. Standardized ginkgo extract has been shown to inhibit platelet activating factor (PAF), which can act as a common allergen in the body. Excessive PAF production can lead to issues such as blood clotting, cardiovascular disease, brain damage, hearing disorders, and immune and inflammatory diseases.

Ginkgo biloba contains two groups of active substances: flavonoids and terpene lactones, including ginkgolides A, B, and C; bilobalide; quercetin; and kaempferol. These compounds have been studied for their potential to regulate allergic inflammation, anaphylactic shock, and asthma.
