Main properties

  • circulatory :

    ginkgo acts on several levels on circulation. It regulates the permeability of capillaries, promotes fluidification, increases the resistance of arterial membranes, stimulates the regeneration of capillary walls, and fights against their inflammation. In short, it constitutes a venous, arterial and lymphatic tonic. Its action is quite targeted on microcirculation which it improves, but also on general circulation. This allows better irrigation of the organs, particularly the sense organs, and the extremities. Its decongestant action is useful in the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. Its action on both circulation and anti-oxidant is also beneficial for the brain. Ginkgo can thus be useful in cases of memory or concentration disorders, in cases of senile dementia, psychological disorders, anxiety, etc.

  • anti-oxidant :

    ginkgo Biloba is rich in flavonoids, antioxidant molecules that fight against the impact of free radicals. It thus acts as a cellular anti-aging agent both at the membrane and molecular level. Coupled with its circulatory action, this makes Ginkgo bud macerate the macerate for elderly people par excellence.

  • anti-infectious, immunomodulating :

    ginkgo Biloba bud macerate helps fight infections, and promote or even regulate the functioning of the immune system. It notably moderates its reactions, in the event of inflammation for example, or an allergic reaction.

  • blood sugar control :

    the flavonoids present in Ginkgo help increase the release of insulin by the Langherans cells of the pancreas, and normalize moderate diabetes. This also helps combat certain side effects caused by diabetes.
