Help for microcirculation The Gingko or tree of forty shields, is a unique tree in the world, with no living relatives. It contains a single species, Ginkgo biloba. For centuries, or perhaps millennia, it has been used for its therapeutic actions, especially by traditional Chinese medicine, and the leaves of the tree are used in modern herbalism. From its leaves an extract is obtained that has flavonoids (ginkgoloids and heterosides) that when ingested increase central and peripheral blood circulation, and as a consequence the irrigation of organic tissues becomes more efficient. Ginkgo is often used for memory disorders that occur, for example, in Alzheimer's disease. It is also used for disorders that appear to result from low blood flow to the brain, especially in older people. These disorders include memory loss, headache, ringing in the ears, vertigo, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, and hearing disorders. Some people use it for other problems related to decreased blood flow in the body, including leg pain when walking (claudication) and Raynaud's syndrome (a painful response to cold, especially in the fingers and toes). feet). Ginkgo leaf is also used for cognitive disorders related to Lyme disease and depression. Daily dose Take one tablet a day, preferably with food. Warnings Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
