What's Ginkgo leaf Extract?
Ginkgo biloba, is called the "living fossil", is the oldest surviving tree species on Earth, with a fossil record dating back over 200 million years.

17–18th Century: Ginkgo was introduced to Japan, Europe and North America; Western botanists began researching its medicinal value.
Modern Standardization: In the 1960s, German scientists developed the world-famous standardized EGb 761 specification (24% flavonol glycosides + 6% terpene lactones), laying the foundation for global commercial ginkgo extract production.
For centuries, humans used whole ginkgo leaves for mild wellness support; today, concentrated ginkgo leaf extract concentrates core active ingredients to deliver stable, measurable health effects for supplements, functional food and skincare.

The dual key active compounds - flavonol glycosides and terpene lactones - work synergistically to deliver multi-dimensional wellness support, fully verified by modern clinical research.
1. Boost Cerebral Circulation & Support Long-Term Cognitive Health
Flavonoids dilate tiny cerebral blood vessels, lower blood viscosity and improve oxygen & nutrient delivery to brain neurons.
Relieve brain fog, poor focus and forgetfulness caused by insufficient brain blood flow
Support mild memory maintenance for middle-aged and elderly groups
Reduce oxidative damage to nerve cells, provide neuroprotective effects against age-related cognitive decline
2. Improve Whole-Body Microcirculation
Ginkgolides inhibit PAF (platelet activating factor), reduce unnecessary platelet aggregation and smooth blood flow through peripheral capillaries:
Alleviate cold hands & feet, numb limbs caused by poor peripheral circulation
Ease intermittent tinnitus and mild hearing loss linked to inner ear microvascular blockage
Support cardiovascular wellness by protecting vascular endothelium and balancing blood
3. Powerful Natural Antioxidant & Anti-Aging
Ginkgo flavonoids are potent free radical scavengers:
Neutralize oxidative stress that damages skin cells, slow fine line formation
Prevent melanin deposition, widely added in anti-aging, brightening skincare formulas
Reduce chronic mild inflammation across organs
4. Respiratory Comfort Support
Traditional herbal usage validated by modern tests: ginkgo extract relaxes bronchial smooth muscles, eases seasonal cough and mild breathing discomfort.
