Ginkgo is a proven longevity supplement

As we age, mitochondria (the energy-producing structures in cells) become less efficient at producing vital energy and more efficient at generating damaging free radicals. This vicious cycle is now believed to be a major contributor to the aging process and memory loss.

Recent research has shown that Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) is remarkably effective at protecting mitochondria from damage from a variety of insults, and helps to prevent mitochondrial aging on a genetic level. This unique and amazing ability to counteract a major contributor to aging has generated extensive scientific interest, as few antioxidants have this impressive ability to protect mitochondrial function. Even more impressive, GBE has been shown to not only preserve mitochondria structure and function in aging animals, but to also significantly extend their lifespan! Other breakthrough studies have shown that bilobalide, a unique Ginkgo terpene, is one of the important substances in ginkgo that protects mitochondria.

Make sure your Ginkgo has a high bilobalide content!

Bilobalide also induces important brain growth factors and prevents cell death from amyloid protein, a culprit in Alzheimer's disease. Interestingly, the other compounds in Ginkgo seem to enhance bilobalide's effectiveness. Enhanced brain function, protection against Alzheimer's disease, and even prolonged life are some of the possible benefits that scientists believe bilobalide can provide us with. Most Ginkgo supplements don't even meet the minumum 2% level of bilobalide required of pharmaceutical grade Ginkgo biloba extract.

Imagine the possibilities, then, of finding a Ginkgo biloba extract product that contains 5% bilobalide—more than any other product on the market. We have … and we'll tell you how you can protect your brain, your overall health and your longevity with this brand new, incredible enhanced-potency Ginkgo supplement!

The compounds that enhance bilobalide's effectiveness

• The flavonoids in Ginkgo are powerful antioxidants, and are metabolized in the body to flavonoid compounds that are also antioxidants, making it an extra-strength antioxidant!¹
• Terpenes are the phytochemicals that make Ginkgo unique in the entire plant kingdom. These particular terpenes include ginkgolide and bilobalide. Ginkgolide B is what first made Ginkgo a real scientific curiosity because this ginkgolide is a potent inhibitor of Platelet Activating Factor (PAF). PAF is involved in many reactions in the body, most notably promoting blood clotting—which means GBE helps protect against blood clots. Subsequent research found that GBE is very effective in treating circulation disorders.²

Safe and effective

Ginkgo has been examined in more than 50 double-blind clinical trials, and hundreds of other pharmacological studies. Its impressive results have made it the most popular herbal medicine in the world. Although Ginkgo is marketed as a dietary supplement in the United States, physicians in France, Germany and other countries use it as a pharmaceutical to treat several diseases.³

As a whole, the studies show that Ginkgo's unique and impressive properties come from its synergistic combination of antioxidant and protective compounds, combined with the extracts' amazing ability to induce our cells' own natural antioxidant and protective factors. This makes Ginkgo truly unique, as it not only provides us with a source of healthful flavonoids and terpenes that possess a variety of beneficial properties, but also actually stimulates our body's natural protective mechanisms on a genetic level.⁴ There is no other product that has so many beneficial and far reaching effects on our body's health, on so many different levels.

What will Ginkgo do for me?

Ginkgo biloba extract has been proven to stimulate blood circulation. Consequently, it has the ability to help:

• Sharpen your mental performance
• Increase your concentration and short-term memory
• Boost your energy levels
• Improve circulation to your feet, legs and hands
• Enhance your sex life as a result of increased blood circulation
• Slow down the aging process

Brand new scientific studies have proven Ginkgo to:

• Protect against cataracts and macular degeneration, and retard their progression⁵
• Reduce blood pressure increases due to stress and exercise⁶
• Enhance memory in healthy individuals and in those with dementia⁷⁸⁹
• Protect against stroke¹⁰

Ginkgo is especially beneficial to the health of the elderly

Scientists believe that aging and many diseases, including arthritis, cancer, Alzheimer's, and atherosclerosis, are the result of oxidative stress and the accumulation of free radicals. Ginkgo's antioxidant properties neutralize the free radicals that can damage proteins within the cell, enzymes, or the fragile lipid membranes that surround and protect the cell.

Brain cells are composed mainly of fat, which is particularly vulnerable to free radical damage. Individuals who sustain free radical damage over a long period of time may experience deterioration in their mental capacity. Numerous studies prove that Ginkgo protects the delicate brain cells from this devastating damage.
