Facts

1) Ginkgo Biloba Extract 120 mg Quick Facts

Ginkgo Biloba is one of the most popular herbal remedies at the moment: prescribed as a stand-alone or alternative treatment in numerous health conditions that affect the heart, brain, and eyes. Its intense use is generally owed to the powerful antioxidants found in the plant’s seeds and leaves, substances that have been clinically show to support overall health by preventing aging of fundamental organs such is the brain. Other important qualities of Ginkgo are the blood-thinning effects which make the herb an ideal remedy for those known to have blood clotting conditions, poor circulation to the extremities, or high blood pressure. The main benefit that results from these qualities is an increase in oxygen levels transported through the blood to the brain (and other extremities) which may further positively influence brain function and brain cell communication.

Gotu Kola is another common ingredient of brain supplements included particularly for its mood enhancing and rejuvenating effects. The herb is also used to alleviate the symptoms of heart failure, high blood pressure, memory impairment or premature aging. The memory enhancing benefits of the herb seem to be supported by several animal and human clinical studies. However, more evidence is required for formulating a definitive conclusion. Gotu Kola’s side effects may include nausea, itching, stomach discomfort, and liver damage.

Eleuthero is also one of the numerous medicinal herbs used in alternative medicine as a general tonic (and shown through clinical trial to reduce mild to moderate stress induced fatigue), as a treatment for osteoarthritis, and to reduce the levels of cholesterol. Common side effects usually associated with longer use of Eleuthero include insomnia, drowsiness, nervousness, and headaches.

Stop Aging Now’s formula has helped me a lot with my poor circulation. Before using this supplement I always used to have cold feet and hands, no matter how much clothes I wore. But not anymore! And my brain function is noticeably better! Love it.

I love this Ginkgo Biloba supplement because it is really effective in a short period of time. My brain performance has increased considerably since starting to use this product a few months ago. I can see it in my grades, but also in my daily activities that require a higher degree of concentration. I think it is the best brain formula I have tried so far.
