What's Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo is a very popular supplement in Europe. Several million prescriptions are written every year. In the U.S. it can be bought over the counter. Ginkgo is used to increase blood flow, and inhibit the build up of platelets.

Ginkgo biloba has shown to be of value by increasing blood flow to the brain. This is often an age related condition. Many case studies have shown an improvement of memory with the use of ginkgo biloba.

  1. Would my mother benefit from taking this? She just turned 80.

  2. Candy,
    Yes, I think that Ginko would be a great idea for your mother. Start with a low dose, and work into it. Keep me posted on her progress.
    Thank you,
