Now one of the most widely recommended herbal medicines in Europe and the US, Ginkgo Biloba is taken as an energizer to improve mood and alertness, as a 'smart drug' to stimulate brain function and boost memory, and as an antioxidant to slow the effects of aging and prevent degenerative diseases. Researchers say that ginkgo stimulates circulation in the brain, ears, and other parts of the body and thus may help prevent hearing loss, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and depression. Studies indicate it has potential use in the treatment of impotence, varicose veins, and other circulatory conditions. Each capsule is made of preservative-free natural gelatin from bone sources. Microcrystalline cellulose and vegetable derived magnesium stearate are present in small quantities to assist in the encapsulation process.
