ABOUT: Ginkgo Biloba is the most powerful Antioxidant known today and as such is said to help prevent Degenerative Conditions of the Heart, Arteries, Eyes, Ears, and other organs, as well as shielding the Brain from the effects of Stress, Toxins and Aging. For hundreds of years, traditional Chinese physicians have used Ginkgo Biloba to treat Impotence. It is thought that Ginkgolides act by reducing Inflammation around small airways in the Lungs, and in doing so can offer some aid to Asthma and Allergy sufferers. Ginkgo Biloba is the most broad-spectrum medicine that is known today. It contains so many different active ingredients that no single one of them can account for all the extract's healing powers.
