Description: |
Ginkgo's effects have been attributed to compounds called flavones glycosides, as well as unique compounds – ginkgolides, which are potent inhibitors of a platelet-activating factor involved in the development of inflammatory, cardiovascular, and respiratory disorders. The ginkgolides' activity helps explain the herb's broad-spectrum biological effects.
Another important effect is strong antioxidant activity. With its ability to "scavenge" reactive oxygen forms known as free radicals, ginkgo leaf extract directs antioxidant effects to the brain, central nervous system, and cardiovascular system. This is one of the mechanisms that make it promising in treatment of age-related declines of brain function. |
