Nicknamed the "smart herb" of our time, ginkgo biloba has been extensively researched and has shown over and over to be very effective in treating impaired blood flow to the brain. It can improve the ability to remember, the speed of memory and mental performance, as well as relieving symptoms of cerebral insufficiency such as headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears & clumsiness. It has even been shown to slow the early progression of Alzheimer's disease in some individuals. Ginkgo biloba also acts as an antioxidant, has anti-aging effects, works in alleviating symptoms of mild depression, and reduces blood pressure.
