1. Ginkgo biloba has been extensively studied for its effects on memory, focus, and mental clarity. The active compounds, particularly flavonoids and terpenoids, enhance cerebral blood flow, which improves cognitive function. [R1], [R2], [R3], [R4], [R5]
2. Ginkgo’s antioxidant properties, primarily due to its high flavonoid content, protect neurons from oxidative damage. Ginkgo’s anti-inflammatory effects are also beneficial for reducing neuroinflammation, which plays a role in age-related cognitive decline. [R1], [R2], [R3]
3. One of Ginkgo’s most well-documented benefits is its ability to improve blood circulation, especially to the brain. Improved circulation helps oxygenate tissues and protect them from damage. [R1], [R2], [R3]
4. Ginkgo has been shown to help reduce symptoms of anxiety and improve overall mood. This effect is likely due to improved blood flow and its role in regulating neurotransmitter systems like serotonin and dopamine. [R1], [R2], [R3]
