Ginkgo Biloba contains active compounds called flavo-glycosides. These compounds have antioxidant properties. Ginkgo Biloba Extract (GBE) has been shown to decrease inflammation by inhibiting platelet formation in the circulatory system thus increasing blood flow to the brain and other vital organ systems.

Ginkgo is used to increase blood flow to the whole body but especially to the brain and extremities. The active components are known as flavone glycosides and terpene lactones. Ginkgo Flavone Glycosides are a balanced group of bioflavonoids primarily responsible for Ginkgo's ability to inhibit platelet aggregation (stickiness) and its antioxidant activity. Terpene Lactones (Ginkgolides and Bilobalide) improve circulation, inhibit platelet-activating factor (PAF) and protect nerve cells. Too much PAF causes platelets to clump together and is associated with nerve cell damage.

European studies have shown that Ginkgo increases blood flow to the brain and extremities, helping to improve memory and mental sharpness. Gingko's antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals and therefore reduce damage to vessels all over the body, including those in the brain. It has anti-aging properties because as an antioxidant it protects the body against environmental pollutants and other substances that lead to aging. Gingko increases circulation by making the blood flow freely, thus enhancing oxygen delivery to and waste removal from cells. Gingko may also improve the communication between the brain and nerve cells. Gingko is used by natural health practitioners for a variety of conditions including senile dementia, Alzheimer's disease, macular degeneration, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), vertigo, impotence, cold hands and feet and intermittent claudication (poor circulation in the legs). Students have also used it as a memory enhancer.
