Product Origins: Linnea Ginkgo Biloba Extracts are extracted from the leaves of the Ginkgo Biloba tree dating from the Palaeozoic era (350 million years ago). The Ginkgo Biloba tree, which is notable for high resistance to both pollutants and pests, has a long tradition of use in Oriental medicine; in particular for the treatment and control of respiratory and circulatory ailments and for brain function.
Therapeutic Applications: Ginkgo biloba extract is believed to have a regulating effect on the entire vascular system of veins, arteries and capillaries. The most common usage of Gingko biloba extract is for its widely accepted effects in the regulation of blood flow to the brain, legs and other extremities. Also commonly cited for the control of the level of various neurotransmitters in the brain thus helping to counteract memory loss, depression and lack of alertness which may occur in old age.

Gingko biloba is also used to counteract a number of conditions such as vascular insufficiency and tinnitus and has also been indicated in the treatment of intermittent claudication (pain while walking).
