Ginkgo biloba tablets 6000mg (six thousand mg)
This wonderful and versatile herb has three main effects on the human body: it improves blood flow (including microcirculation in small capillaries) to most tissues and organs; it protects against oxidative cell damage from free radicals; and it blocks many of the effects of blood clotting that have been related to the development of a number of cardiovascular, renal, respiratory and Central Nervous System disorders.
Ginkgo is thus of great value to diabetes patients who may suffer from poor circulation to the feet, and particularly to the eyes, and to those suffering from macular degeneration.
In the UK Ginkgo biloba is used by many people to improve or maintain short term memory and concentration by enhancing blood flow to the brain. Many people also use Ginkgo biloba to help circulatory problems including conditions such as Raynauds Disease.
It is also beneficial for the following:
- treatment of cerebral insufficiency (memory loss that occurs with conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or vascular or multi-infarct dementia)
- tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- vertigo
- intermittent claudication (poor circulation and pain to the lower legs)
Contraindications
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid using ginkgo preparations. If you are currently taking any blood-thinning medications you should consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Ginkgo biloba.
These tablets are very small and easy to swallow, and represent excellent value for money, being equal to 6 grams of Ginkgo biloba powder per tablet.
Dosage
Take 1 tablet per day. Do not exceed this dose.
