Can I use Ginkgo biloba and Health Evolution formulas if I have certain health issues?

We provide premium dietary supplements designed to enhance health and wellness. In many parts of the world, it is illegal to make medical claims for foods and alternative therapies even when there are clinically proven benefits. For this reason, we do not make any medical claims for our products, which are not designed to treat, cure, prevent or diagnose disease.

In this as in all things in life, you should carry out your own research and make your own decisions.

One of the questions we are asked the most is about Ginkgo biloba, one of the active ingredients in AminoBoosters and TeloMind.

Ginkgo biloba is a herb that has been used for the longest time. In fact, recorded evidence of its use to treat bronchitis, asthma, and other conditions dates back almost five thousand years!

Gingko biloba is not suitable for people using warfarin or other blood-thinning medication. This is because it has blood-thinning properties and therefore should not be used if you are taking anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications, such as aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dipyridamole (Persantine), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), or warfarin (Coumadin).

Accumulating evidence suggests that Ginkgo biloba is cardioprotective, in part through its vasodilatory and antihypertensive properties. However, definitive data on its blood pressure-lowering effects in humans is lacking. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2989407 and other studies.

Ginkgo is actually a large tree that grows natively in China, Japan, and Korea natively and has been cultivated in Europe and North America since the mid-1700s. We actually have a young Ginkgo tree growing on our Australian estate. It’s one of the oldest tree species still in existence, and it is one of the longest-lived, with a general lifespan of over a thousand years.

Typically, the leaves are used to create the supplement ingredient.

We use the highest quality Ginkgo biloba leaf extract in our AminoBoosters and TeloMind formulas.

Ginko is most commonly used to treat memory disorders that stem from inadequate blood flow to the brain, especially in older patients, inclding people with Alzheimer’s. Other conditions it is used to help include:

Dizziness
Mood swings and changes
Difficulty concentrating
Claudication – leg pain during walking due to low blood flow

There is a very long list of other ailments Ginkgo biloba can treat, since the herb has been used for so many thousands of years.

Other conditions it’s been successful at treating or improving include:

Reduced levels of anxiety
Some improved symptoms of dementia-related to vascular disease and Alzheimer’s
Improvement of color vision in diabetic patients with retinal damage
Improvement in the visual field of glaucoma patients (with long term use)
Relief of breast tenderness and other symptoms of PMS
Reduction of symptoms of schizophrenia, when paired with antipsychotics
Improvement in symptoms of vertigo and other balance disorders
Preliminary work has suggested Ginkgo biloba may help with MS-associated cognitive problems.

How gingko biloba works

Ginkgo biloba has several properties that are perhaps the reason it is so efficient at treating a number of ailments. Promoting blood flow and circulation is one of the biggest factors, which is what may help with brain function, as well as improved senses. Additional benefits of gingko biloba include:

Antioxidant properties, which slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s, as well as assist in improved cognition and thinking ability.
Antibacterial and antifungal properties, which can help reduce the chances of infection or even kill infection in the body.

Whenever making changes to your diet and lifestyle, it is recommended to consult with and follow the advice of your professional health adviser.
