Support Vision and Eye Health

How ginkgo affects eyesight and eye health has seldom been the subject of any research. However, the first findings are encouraging. Ginkgo supplementation improved blood flow to the eye in glaucoma patients, according to one study, although this didn't always result in clearer vision. Another analysis of two research looked at how ginkgo extract affected the development of age-related macular degeneration. Although some people claimed to have improved their vision, this wasn't often statistically significant.

Many of these encouraging findings appear to be connected to improved blood flow to the eye. It's uncertain if ginkgo would improve eyesight in those who don't currently have it. More study is needed to see if ginkgo may improve eyesight or halt the course of degenerative eye disease.
