GingkoSelect
Gingko Biloba works by increasing blood flow to the brain, and through the entire body's network of blood vessels, which supplies oxygen and nutrients. Good blood flow promotes general longevity and helps to keep you healthy.
Gingko Biloba is well recognised for it's positive effects on brain functioning- enhancing memory, mental alertness and reducing mental fatigue and lack of energy. Gingko Biloba helps brain function by improving some conditions, where there's decreased flow of blood to the brain.

FAQ’s about GinkgoSelect
When would I need to use GinkgoSelect?
Ginkgo biloba extracts are produced from the leaves of cultivated trees and are used for the treatment of various disorders. High quality Ginkgo biloba extract is used as a dietary supplement for improving memory, reducing depression, reducing symptoms of senile dementia, and improving peripheral circulation (a benefit for mental function, heart health, and sexual function).
Active compounds in Ginkgo Extract improve blood flow, reinforce the walls of the capillaries, and protect nerve cells from harm when deprived of oxygen. These ingredients also appear to have an antioxidant effect, sparing brain tissue from the damage caused by free radicals.
Ginkgo biloba can also be of benefit for people suffering from vertigo and tinnitus, or migraine headaches.
What causes memory loss?
There are many factors associated with the deterioration of memory:
· Aging
· Malnourished brain
· Free radical exposure – alcoholics and drug addicts experience “blackouts” – large memory gaps even though they are conscious.
· Allergies
· Candida
· Thyroid disorders
· Poor circulation to the brain.
· Hypoglycemia
How do I “feed” my brain?
One of the reasons that people suffer from memory loss is due to an insufficient supply of nutrients (especially B vitamin sand amino acids) to the brain. The brain is surrounded by a protective covering known as the blood-brain barrier, which allows only certain substances to pass from the bloodstream to the brain. If the blood is too thick (with cholesterol), the amount of nutrient-rich blood that can pass through the blood-brain barrier decreases.
How does the brain function?
Brain function depends on brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters carry messages from one part of the brain to another. If your mind goes blank when you are trying to recall some information, or it brings up some other irrelevant information, it is likely that a “short-circuit” of the neurotransmitters has occurred.
How does GinkgoSelect improve brain function?
Gingko leaf extract contains active ingredients that increase the body’s production of ATP (cellular energy). This in turn increases the ability of the brain to metabolise glucose for energy and increase its’ electrical activity. Ginkgo flavonoids dilate blood vessels thereby increasing blood supply to the brain and other organs.
GinkgoSelect can also reverse damage caused by toxic chemicals.
GinkgoSelect improves short-term and long-term memory in people with age-related memory impairment.
GinkgoSelect increases oxygen supply to underactive parts of the brain and therefore aids in the treatment of attention deficit disorder (ADD).
What is GinkgoSelect?
GinkgoSelect provides a high quality extract of Ginkgo biloba and provides the equivalent of 6000mg of Ginkgo leaf activity per softgel.
How does Ginkgo Biloba extract work?
The two groups of phytochemicals which are found in ginkgo biloba, ginkgo flavone glycosides and terpene lactones, are considered to be the primary active constituents.
The flavone glycosides are responsible for the antioxidant properties of ginkgo biloba extract.
The terpene lactones possess several activities, including neuroprotection, improvement of choline uptake in brain synapses, and inhibition of platelet activating factor (which reduces the tendency of the blood to clot).
What do I need to be careful of when using GinkgoSelect?
Ginkgo biloba has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels. Therefore diabetics using medication to control blood sugar levels should avoid using the product.
If you are using blood thinning medication like warfarin, avoid using GinkgoSelect.
Individuals suffering from epilepsy should not use GinkgoSelect.
If I am pregnant or breastfeeding can I use GinkgoSelect?
The safety of Ginkgo biloba during pregnancy has not yet been determined. It is therefore not advisable to use the product during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Can children use GinkgoSelect?
Children over the age of 13 years can use GinkgoSelect. It is important to reduce the dose. Use half the recommended dose.
