What is ginkgo biloba?
Ginkgo biloba, the maidenhair tree, is the last surviving member of an ancient plant group and is often described as a living fossil. It is native to China, where individual trees can live for well over a thousand years, and it is now planted along city streets around the world. Supplements are made from its fan-shaped leaves. It takes fifty parts of leaf to produce one part of this extract, which is then standardized to fixed levels of its two marker compound groups.

My decision to use some of this product is based largely on a book by Ted Broer entitled Maximum Memory. In it is a chapter outlining several 'smart drugs' that may help some people stabilize certain brain functions. All the best to you.
