Ginkgo - Everything you need to know
The ginkgo is not only a relic from times past - it also has an impressive variety of uses in modern medicine and health care. Here we explain what ginkgo is, what health benefits it has and how it affects your body.
what is ginkgo
Ginkgo biloba, also known as ginkgo, is a tree from the ginkgo family that originated in China. Its name comes from the Chinese and literally means "silver apricot". This name comes from the fact that the tree's seeds, with their fleshy seed coat and silvery-yellow colour, resemble apricots. Ginkgo is one of the most commonly used medicinal plants for complementary treatment (MSD).
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF GINKGO?
The effect of the ginkgo leaf is based on the interaction of its various active substances. In laboratory tests, the extract from ginkgo leaves has proven to be extremely effective, as it has the following effects:
- Improvement of energy metabolism in the brain and cognitive abilities.
- This often leads to an increase in movement coordination.
- Optimisation of blood flow and circulation in the smallest blood vessels as well as binding and neutralising harmful free radicals.
- For this reason, many diseases, such as circulatory disorders in the brain or in the arms and legs, are treated with ginkgo preparations today.
NASSIM JAMALZADEH:
"The effect of ginkgo should never be underestimated. It is not for nothing that this extract has been used for so long. Studies show that ginkgo biloba is one of the most effective plants. It can improve the ability to concentrate, has a positive influence on the entire psyche and memory, and can even have a stress-reducing effect. If you want to try ginkgo, you should definitely try our Focus product. It contains not only ginkgo but also vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and pantothenic acid, which support the nervous system. Feel free to give it a try."
FAQs about ginkgo
FAQs about ginkgo
How much ginkgo should one take?
There are no fixed dosage recommendations for ginkgo extract. However, 120 to 240 mg of extract per day is usually recommended as a guideline. Studies have also investigated and used lower doses, starting at 40 mg (German Centre of Wellbeing).
Is it possible to take too much ginkgo?
Under normal circumstances, there is usually no risk of overdosing on ginkgo biloba as long as controlled and standardised products are taken and dosage recommendations are followed. However, caution is advised when untreated parts of the plant are consumed, as they may contain unknown amounts of ginkgo toxins (MSD).
What are the side effects and interactions with ginkgo?
Some people may experience gastrointestinal discomfort or headaches as side effects when using ginkgo preparations. People taking anticoagulant medications should only use ginkgo in consultation with their doctor, as the medicinal plant can increase the effect of the anticoagulants. Likewise, people who have to undergo surgery should discontinue ginkgo beforehand. Pregnant women should refrain from using ginkgo. It is important to note that the above indications for the use of ginkgo are general precautions and that it is always advisable to seek individual advice and recommendations from a doctor or qualified health professional before using ginkgo preparations.

At my age (I’m 67), maintaining good heart health is a top priority. I’ve been taking Make My Heart Beet for about a month now, and I must say, I feel more supported in my daily well-being. It’s comforting to know I’m doing something small yet meaningful every day for my heart. I’ll continue with this routine, and I’m glad to have found a vegan supplement that fits seamlessly into my life.

My experience
The Snack Smart bears really help curb my afternoon cravings – I feel more in control without needing extra snacks. And the Ah-mazing Hair gummies? My hair feels stronger, shinier, and just healthier overall.

Great taste – and it really helps with cravings!
I’ve been taking the Snack Smart Appetite Control gummies for a few weeks now and I’m honestly impressed! The apple flavour is super tasty, and I love that they’re vegan free.
I take 2 bears a day, as suggested, and I’ve noticed that my cravings between meals have definitely decreased. I feel more in control, especially in the afternoon when I used to snack the most.

The bloat is gone!
I've been using these for just over a month now and will rave about them to anyone! I usually suffer with awful bloating and cramps and after 2 weeks of using these little bears that has practically gone! I finally like how I look and feel again and don't have to worry about going out for food with friends! They are also really tasty!

Amazing results
I’ve been using these gummies for a few weeks now, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! From the very first few days, I noticed a significant boost in my energy levels without the jitters or crashes I usually get from other metabolism-boosting supplements

Perfect!
After 2 weeks I started to feel positive changes. They are tasty and I am enjoying them.

I have a very fair complexion and have observed a slight improvement in my skin tone since using these products. While the change is not substantial, it is sufficient for me to feel pleased and self-assured without the need for artificial tanning. Additionally, they have a pleasant taste.
