Improve Circulation and Heart Health

Ginkgo seeds were employed in traditional Chinese medicine to open "channels" of energy to many organ systems, including the kidneys, liver, brain, and lungs. Many of ginkgo's alleged advantages may stem from its apparent capacity to enhance blood flow to various regions of the body. In one research, persons with heart problems who took ginkgo supplementation had an instantaneous improvement in blood flow to numerous regions of the body. This was ascribed to a 12% rise in circulation nitric oxide levels, a chemical responsible for blood channel dilation. Another study found the same effect in older persons who were given ginkgo extract.

More study indicates that ginkgo has beneficial benefits on heart health, brain health, and stroke prevention. There are several possible explanations for this, one of which is that the plant contains anti-inflammatory chemicals. More study is required to completely comprehend how ginkgo impacts circulation, heart, and brain health.
