NOW® Gingko Biloba Double Strength 120mg with Siberian ginseng is standardized to min. 24% ginkgoflavonglycosides and 6% terpene lactones. The extract comes from the leaves of the famous Ginkgo tree with its dynamic history of populating the earth for millions of years.
This double strength product has twice the ginkgo (120 mg) as in regular strength products (60 mg).
Ginkgo helps to enhance memory and cognitive function in adults, and helps to support peripheral circulation.
Ginkgo biloba is one of the most well-known and well established medicinal herbs in the world, and is used mainly to support memory and cognitive function. This is attributed to its ability to enhance cerebral circulation, increasing blood flow and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the brain. This improves brain cell performance and provides antioxidant protection against neurodegeneration. Studies also show that Ginkgo biloba reinforces blood vessel structure in the brain and protects cerebral nerve cells from damage when deprived of oxygen.
Ginkgo supports cognitive function in young healthy adults, older healthy adults and has been shown to improve cognitive performance and social functioning in patients with cognitive decline.
Siberian Ginseng
Eleutherococcus senticosus, or “Siberian ginseng,” is another misnomer: as is the case with ashwagandha, it is not a ginseng species at all. But its adaptogenic properties are, if anything, better documented than those of Panax ginseng itself. This botanical was long the juggernaut behind Soviet Olympic dominance, as well as being extensively exploited in the Soviet military and space programs. After an initial focus on Panax ginseng, Russian researchers shifted their attention to eleutherococcus after comparative investigations and clinical experience revealed its superiority. Eleutherococcus lacks the side effects observed in some users of Panax ginseng, which overexcites some people and can ironically even cause them stress. “Siberian ginseng” also has a more global beneficial effect on the immune system than Panax ginseng, and its phytochemistry – and resulting benefits – is more reliable than its Panax namesake.
In a clinical trial, the Eleutherococcus supplementers experienced a 16.45% increase in the maturation of their lymphocytes in response to an antigenic challenge. Eleutherococcus users also gained increases in their neutrophils’ phagocytic activity (the engulfing and digesting of foreign cells): both the number of cells engaged in phagocytosis under test conditions, and the mean number of bacteria phagocytized per neutrophil, were increased.
On the physical performance tests, people taking eleutherococcus supplements gained significant improvements in physical performance, increasing their VO2max by 0.26 L per minute (or 3.41 L per minute per kilogram of body mass), and the ratio of VO2max to heart rate.
