Ginkgo Biloba, commonly known as Ginkgo or Gingko, and also known as the Maidenhair tree, is a species of tree native to China. Ginkgo Biloba is an antioxidant-rich herb that contains numerous flavonoids, compounds which proponents suggest can possibly help with many aging-related issues. For thousands of years, leaves from the Ginkgo biloba tree have been a common treatment in Chinese medicine. Ginkgos health benefits are thought to come from its high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Modern research has shown that Gingko may help support brain health and promote overall wellness. This Ginkgo Biloba extract is an extra strength 10:1 ratio extract. This means it is 10x times stronger than most regular Ginkgo powders. They use 10 lbs of raw herb to make 1 lb. of the extract powder, so it's highly concentrated.
