Viridian - Ginkgo Biloba / Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo Biloba is a deciduous tree, which survived 150 years without undergoing changes. This living fossil was saved over the years thanks to the Chinese, who respect and honor the tree and plant it around their temples. 

Traditionally, the Chinese used ginkgo for its extremely beneficial properties for the human brain. At the same time, ginkgo relieves the symptoms of cough and asthma.

Today, ginkgo leaf extract is among the most prescribed medicines in both Germany and France.

Circulatory / vaso -stimulating - Ginkgo owes its vaso-stimulating properties mainly to the coating it offers to the blood vessels and the system that regulates the tone of the vessels. It stimulates a greater tone in the vascular system, causing the dynamic cleaning of toxic metabolites, which accumulate during periods of ischemia (a period of insufficient oxygen supply). Ginkgo contributes positively to cases of cerebral vascular insufficiency and mental/spiritual impairment.

Memory Enhancement – ​​The memory enhancing properties of ginkgo are not limited to the elderly. According to tests conducted on healthy young women, the results of memory tests, in which they were tested after treatment with ginkgo, were extremely spectacular.

Nervous system function – Strengthening nerve cell membranes and fighting free radicals are the most important effects of ginkgo on the brain and nerve cells, as these have the highest percentage of unsaturated fatty acids.

Anti-depressant - Research has shown that ginkgo significantly improves mood and behavior. This action is more obvious and effective in the elderly (especially those who do not respond to medication), or in people suffering from cerebrovascular insufficiency.

Skin pigmentation (pigmentation) – Oxidative stress has recently been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis. Ginkgo biloba extract has unique antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties. Modern studies have proven that the progression of skin discoloration has been spectacularly stopped.
