Why A. Vogel Ginkgoforce?
The Ginkgo extract contained in Ginkgoforce is not standardized on one active principle since the synergy of all the components is necessary for optimal efficacy. Ginkgoforce thus contains all the active principles of the Ginkgo leaf: flavonoids (often called ginkolides or bilobides), terpenes, carotenes, etc.
Backed by Science...
One double-blind, randomized clinical study evaluated the efficacy of Ginkgoforce in 241 patients between the age of 55-85. Patients were assigned to 3 treatment groups receiving either 20 drops 3 times/day (recommended dosage), 40 drops 3 times/day or a placebo, over a 6-month period. Subjects from the two groups receiving Ginkgoforce had a significant subjective and objective improvement (as measured by three different tests) of their cerebral function as compared to the placebo. The difference between the two groups receiving Ginkgoforce was insignificant. The authors concluded: "Ginkgoforce is capable of improving the cerebral function and seems very well indicated for the treatment of age-related memory problems. (...) for this drug, the 20 drops 3 times/day dosage should be considered as optimal for long term treatment."
What does Ginkgo do?
Ginkgo is used to increase blood flow to the whole body but especially to the brain and extremities. The active components are flavone glycosides, potent antioxidant molecules. Free radicals are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage.
Gingko's antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals and therefore reduce damage to vessels all over the body, including those in the brain. It has anti-aging properties because as an antioxidant it protects the body against environmental pollutants other substances that lead to aging. Gingko increases circulation by making the blood flow freely, thus enhancing oxygen delivery to and waste removal from cells. Gingko may also improve the communication between brain and nerve cells. Gingko is used by natural health practitioners for a variety of conditions including: senile dementia, Alzheimer's disease, macular degeneration, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), vertigo, impotence, cold hands and feet and intermittent claudication (poor circulation in the legs). Many, have also used it as a memory enhancer.
Gingko contains components that have blood-thinning properties. Gingko supplements should be used with caution by individuals with active bleeding, blood clotting disorders, high blood pressure and individuals on blood thinning medication, including aspirin, or anti-hypertensives. For the same reason, gingko supplements should be discontinued prior to surgery or dental work. Gingko can alter the effectiveness of monoamine oxidase inhibitors, a type of anti-depressant.
