Ginkgo Biloba Side Effects

Ginkgo Biloba is a unique tree with no close living relatives. From the numerous conflicting research conclusions, right now there seem to be essentially 3 benefits of Ginkgo extract on the human body: it enhances blood flow to most areas and organs; it protects to prevent oxidative cellular damage from free radicals (and is thus an “antioxidant”); and it prevents lots of the effects of platelet aggregation and blood clotting which have been linked to the development of several cardiovascular, renal, respiratory and Neurological system problems.

Ginkgo is often put into energy drinks, but the quantity is usually so low it doesn’t result in a recognizable effect, except perhaps by way of a ‘placebo effect’ from Ginkgo being listed on the label.
