What Is Gingko Bilboba?

If you saw Treebeard with your teens in "The Lord of the Rings" and if you remember fairy tales about ancient and wise trees, you've just answered the question, "What is ginkgo biloba and what does it do for me?" Ginkgo biloba, like NEURO-PS, coenzyme-Q10, and Vitamin B, is a brain tonic that makes memory perform more amazing feats than Peter Jackson's special effects team. Remembering where you parked your car and the name of the first guy you kissed in junior high is a miracle! Plus, you're less likely to get Alzheimer's, tinnitus, depression, cardiovascular disease, and asthma. How does ginkgo do all that? Ginkgolides A, B, and C, plus quercetin, bilobalide, and kaempferol help:

• Control plaque in the heart
• Act as powerful antioxidants
• Increase blood supply to the whole body, especially the brain
• Regulate the neurotransmitters such as dopamine.

Lack of dopamine, for example, is associated with Parkinson's Disease, and neurotransmitters help promote well-being and that general "good feeling" Think about it--when was the last time you saw a depressed, forgetful tree? With CGI effects, trees can even walk...and you can remember your mom's birthday! Because, you know, old wise trees never forget. Remember to jog your teens' memory after you watch "Return of the King" for the tenth time.
