Ginkgo biloba is rich in antioxidants and can help reduce inflammation. It may also be beneficial for heart health, brain function, and eye health, along with several other conditions.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ginkgo biloba, or maidenhair, is a tree native to China that has been grown for thousands of years for a variety of uses. <\/span>Because it\u2019s the only surviving member of an ancient order of plants, it\u2019s sometimes referred to as a living fossil. <\/span>While its leaves and seeds are often used in traditional Chinese medicine, modern research primarily focuses on ginkgo extract, which is made from the leaves. <\/span>Ginkgo supplements are associated with several health claims and uses, most of which focus on brain function and blood circulation. <\/span>Here are benefits of ginkgo biloba.<\/span><\/p>\n

Contains Powerful Antioxidants<\/b><\/h2>\n

Ginkgo\u2019s antioxidant content may be the reason behind many of its health claims (<\/span>1<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>2<\/span><\/a>). <\/span>Ginkgo contains high levels of\u00a0<\/span>flavonoids<\/span>\u00a0and terpenoids, which are compounds known for their strong antioxidant effects (<\/span>3<\/span><\/a>). <\/span>Antioxidants<\/span>\u00a0combat or neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals (<\/span>4<\/span><\/a>). <\/span>Free radicals are highly reactive particles that are produced in the body during normal metabolic functions, such as converting food to energy or detoxification (<\/span>4<\/span><\/a>). <\/span>Yet, they also have the potential to damage healthy tissues, contributing to accelerated aging and disease development (<\/span>4<\/span><\/a>). <\/span>Research on ginkgo\u2019s antioxidant effects is promising. However, it remains unclear exactly how it works and how effective it may be at treating specific diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can Help Reduce Inflammation<\/b><\/h2>\n

Inflammation is part of the body\u2019s natural response to injury or invasion by a foreign substance. <\/span>In the inflammatory response, various components of the immune system are recruited to fight against the foreign invader or heal the injured area. <\/span>Some chronic diseases trigger an\u00a0<\/span>inflammatory response<\/span>\u00a0even when there is no illness or injury present. Over time, this excessive inflammation can cause permanent damage to the body\u2019s tissues and DNA (<\/span>5<\/span><\/a>). <\/span>Years of animal and test-tube research shows that ginkgo extract can reduce markers of inflammation in both human and animal cells in a variety of disease states (<\/span>2<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>6<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>7<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Some specific conditions in which ginkgo extract has shown to reduce inflammation include (<\/span>8<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>9<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>10<\/span><\/a>):<\/span><\/p>\n
