Ginkgo Biloba TabletsRef: 3420A herbal supplement for memory. The herb Ginkgo Biloba is rightly prized for its ability to aid memory and concentration. It has also been shown to reduce the number of attacks of Raynaud's disease.
Frequently misspelt as 'gingko biloba', the tree that the herb comes from is known as a living fossil, because it has been around for millions of years. Ginkgo has long been cultivated in China; some planted trees at temples are believed to be over 1,500 years old. Is it this longevity that gives it an affinity with the trials and tribulations associated with getting older? As well as aiding memory and concentration, it may slow down the progress of Alzheimer's disease and lessen depression and anxiety in the elderly. Ginkgo increases blood flow to the arms and legs, as well as to the brain, so alleviating coldness in the extremities (Raynaud's disease). It may reduce shortness of breath by improving blood flow to the heart. It may also help with tinnitus, dizziness (vertigo) and leg cramps. Research suggest that ginkgo may be protective against radiation, so may be beneficial for some cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. (International Journal of Low Radiation, 2009; 6 (3)) There are many Ginkgo Biloba supplements on the market, but unfortunately many of them contain little of the active ingredients that have been shown to be beneficial in clinical trials. As in so many other areas of life, you get what you pay for. In a recent survey, a staggering 8 out of the 12 UK retail brands failed to meet the 24% flavonglycosides figure. Lamberts Ginkgo 6000mg, the one available on this site, was shown to be the best value for money product in terms of quality and price. Each tablet contains a concentrated extract, standardised at 28.8 mg (24%) flavonglycosides.
