Ginkgo biloba is an ancient relic plant among the existing seed plants. After the fourth century, it became a unique tree species in China and has been known as a "living fossil" in the academic community.
At present, more than 160 effective medicinal ingredients can be extracted from Ginkgo biloba. Its main active ingredients are ginkgolides and flavonols. Ginkgolides have antiplatelet activating factor effects and can improve blood circulation. Flavonoids can dilate blood vessels, eliminate free radicals, and prevent arteriosclerosis. In addition, Ginkgo biloba extract can also eliminate free radicals in the human body, improve the body's own immunity, prevent aging spots, skincare, beauty, and glossy skin. Therefore, the development of ginkgo biloba is popular worldwide and widely used in fields such as food, health products, cosmetics, etc. Below is a detailed introduction to the functional effects of Ginkgo biloba extract.
Promote blood circulation:
Ginkgo biloba can promote the ability of blood circulation in the brain and limbs, protect arteries, veins, and capillaries from damage, and enhance their strength and elasticity. In addition, Ginkgo biloba can directly promote blood circulation by reducing the viscosity of platelets (a key factor in forming arteriosclerosis), protecting red blood cells from damage, and maintaining their uniform distribution. This means that oxygen can be transported to the body's tissues more healthily and effectively.
Clearing free radicals:
Ginkgo biloba is one of the herbs with the ability to resist active genes, and it is effective in protecting lipids (components of cell membranes) from free radical damage. Considering that brain cells contain high concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids in all cells, this strongly supports the protective effect of Ginkgo biloba on the central nervous system.
Free radicals in the brain and nervous system are widely believed to be the main cause of accelerated aging. Ginkgo biloba plays multiple roles in protecting cells, especially brain cells. Firstly, it promotes blood circulation and transports oxygen and glucose to cells; Secondly, when free radicals threaten cells, Ginkgo biloba can protect cells from damage and eliminate free radicals from the body.
Platelet inhibition:
In the past 5 years, research on ginkgolides has led to a pharmaceutical breakthrough. Three types of ginkgolides (A, B, and C) have been shown to have inhibitory effects on mediators called platelet activating factor (PAF) in the body. PAF can cause inflammation, shock, bronchoconstriction, gastric ulcers, asthma, vasculitis, and other diseases.
