    Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest tree species, dating back over 250 million years. While once considered extinct, it was rediscovered in Japan in the 17th century and has since been planted worldwide. Ginkgo biloba trees grow up to 35 meters tall and are notable for being the first plant to sprout after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Today ginkgo biloba is one of the most commercially produced medicinal plants, though the efficacy of some of its reported therapeutic effects lack scientific evidence. Concentrated extracts in manufactured pills are generally more effective than alternative formulations using ground powder.

    Ginkgo biloba

    Lucas Mozelli Padial

    Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest trees


    that has news, with fossil records
    dating back more than 250 million
    years ago.
    For a time it was considered extinct,
    but rediscovered in Japan in the
    seventeenth century. Seeds were
    taken to Europe and later to North
    America and today you can find ginkgo
    biloba trees worldwide.

    The ginkgo biloba was the first plant


    to sprout after the destruction
    caused by the atomic bomb in
    Hiroshima, Japan.
    They are deciduous trees, that lose
    all their leaves in winter and reach a
    height of 20-35m.

    Now a days Ginkgo biloba is one of


    the most commercialized medicinal
    plants in the world !

    The drugs made from this plant can


    be used to:
    Improve blood flow to tissues and
    organs;
    Fight cell damage by free radicals,
    acting as a natural antioxidant;

    Improve memory;
    Inhibits the proliferation of
    aggressive breast tumors;
    Reduces ringing and improves sense
    of balance;

    But their therapeutic efficacy, in


    general, don't have scientific basis !
    Many
    people
    have
    reported
    beneficial
    effects
    arising
    from
    alternative formulations. But would
    they be as effective as manufactured
    pills ?

    The answer is NO !

    To obtain the same amount of a


    single tablet of 120 mg, you need 20
    capsules of 200 mg of ground
    powder.

    Now, if you liked this medicine and


    want to buy one, feel free, because
    that does not grab me, nor with
    cornflakes.
