Ginkgo Biloba Extract

Ginkgo Biloba Extract (GBE) is derived from the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree, which has been utilized medicinally in China for centuries. This extract encompasses Ginkgo biloba total flavonoids, ginkgolides, and other active substances. GBE possesses a multitude of health benefits, including the ability to expand blood vessels, safeguard vascular endothelial tissue, regulate blood lipids, protect low-density lipoprotein, inhibit PAF (platelet activating factor), prevent thrombosis, and scavenge free radicals. It is processed using an appropriate solvent to enrich its active ingredients, resulting in a light yellow-brown, flowable powder with a bitter taste.

GBE is renowned for its effects on promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and dredging collaterals. Preparations made from GBE are extensively used in various fields such as medicine, health care products, food additives, functional beverages, and cosmetics. Over the past 15 years, research has indicated that GBE may be beneficial in treating age-related mental and physical deterioration, dementia, peripheral vascular disease, and organic impotence. Furthermore, it may alleviate the severity of depression in individuals with cerebral dysfunction. Preliminary or uncontrolled studies also suggest potential benefits for patients suffering from tinnitus, vertigo, acute cochlear deafness, macular degeneration, cyclic edema, and asthma.
