Ginkgo Biloba Drops

A Vogel Ginkgo biloba Drops are an antioxidant-rich herb use to enhance brain health and treat a variety of conditions.

Although dietary supplements typically contain extracts of the plant’s leaves, ginkgo biloba seeds are commonly use for healing purposes in traditional Chinese medicine.

Brain Health

So far, studies testing ginkgo biloba drops effects against aging declines in brain health have yielded mixed results. A review of studies using the standardized Ginkgo extract EGb 761 found the supplement to be more effective than placebo in most cases of Alzheimer’s disease, and vascular or mixed dementia

The review was unable to identify a consistent benefit for using Ginkgo in the treatment of neuropsychiatric conditions.

In addition, ginkgo biloba is said to preserve memory, as well as promote recovery from stroke.

Scientific studies support some, but not all ginkgo benefits.2 Here’s a look at the science behind the potential health benefits of ginkgo biloba.

Eye Health

Ginkgo biloba drops shows promise in the treatment of glaucoma and other eye diseases. Ginkgo contains natural properties that act as antioxidants and improve blood flow.

This effect has been shown to reduce retinal degeneration. There’s also evidence of Ginkgo producing color vision improvements for patients with diabetic retinopathy.

Blood Pressure

It’s too soon to tell whether ginkgo biloba can help treat high blood pressure, according to a research review published in Phytomedicine in 2014.

Although six of the nine reviewed clinical trials found that gingko may help reduce blood pressure, the herb did not appear to have significant effects on blood pressure in the other three trials.
