More Information

What is NZ Pure Health Ginkgo Biloba?
The Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is a unique tree with no close living relatives. It is classified in its own division, the Ginkgophyta. For centuries, it was thought to be extinct in the wild, but it is now known to grow wild in at least two small areas in Zhejiang province in eastern China, in the Tian Mu Shan Reserve. The geological records indicate this plant has been growing on Earth for 150 - 200 million years.
The earliest record of the use of the leaves as a medicine is said to be mentioned in the Chinese Materia Medica Shen Nung Pen Tsao Ching (which should originate from about 2800 BC or from the Han dynasty [206BC-220AD]) as an aid for blood circulation and the lungs. For several hundred years, many diseases were treated using ginkgo biloba. In the late 1950s, Western medicine began to study its medicinal uses. In 1965, Dr Willmar Schwabe Company produced the first leaf extract.
Today, Ginkgo is prescribed in Europe and used by many people in the U.S., Canada and other countries for its medicinal abilities. After the 70s paleontologists, botanists, biochemists, and cultural and theological historians began to investigate the Ginkgo more intensively too. 

Health benefits of Ginkgo Biloba
The extract of the Ginkgo leaves contains flavonoid glycosides and ginkgolides and has been used pharmaceutically. There seem to be basically three effects of Ginkgo extract on the human body.

• Improves blood flow (including microcirculation in small capillaries) to most tissues and organs
• Protects against oxidative cell damage from free radicals (antioxidant)
• Blocks many of the effects of PAF (platelet aggregation, blood clotting) that have been related to the development of several cardiovascular, renal, respiratory and CNS (Central Nervous System) disorders.

It has many alleged properties and is mainly used as a memory enhancer and anti-vertigo agent.

• Ginkgo Biloba is gaining recognition as a brain tonic that enhances memory because of its positive effects on the vascular system, especially in the cerebellum. Benefits of enhanced circulation in the brain include improved short and long term memory, increased reaction time and improved mental clarity.
• Ginkgo Biloba is also used as a treatment for vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and a variety of neurological disorders and circulation problems. Ginkgo may help with mental fatigue and lack of energy.
• Ginkgo Biloba can be used for intermittent claudication, which is cramping, pain, or tiredness in the legs (usually the calves) that happens during exercise or walking and goes away with a short period of rest.
