GINKOCER 40MG 10S

About

Ginkgo Biloba extract, derived from the leaves of the Ginkgo Biloba tree, is a widely used herbal supplement known for its potential cognitive and circulatory benefits. Its active constituents, primarily flavonoids and terpenoids (ginkgolides and bilobalide), are believed to exert various pharmacological actions. These include antioxidant properties, which protect cells from oxidative damage, and anti-inflammatory effects. Ginkgo is also thought to improve blood flow, particularly microcirculation, by modulating vascular tone and reducing blood viscosity. This enhanced circulation is hypothesized to support brain function, memory, and concentration, as well as alleviate symptoms associated with peripheral arterial disease. While its mechanisms are complex and research is ongoing, it is commonly used to support overall brain health and circulatory well-being.
