What is Ginkgo biloba?

Ginkgo bilobed (Ginkgo biloba) is one of the oldest trees on the planet, which has existed for more than 250 million years. It is the only remnant of a large ginkgoid family and is therefore often called "living fosilia". Ginkgo is originally from China, but can now be found in many parts of the world as an ornamental tree. Ginkgo leaves have a special fan-like shape and are often used in traditional medicine. It is said that Ginkgo leaf extract can increase cognitive function, improve memory and concentration, and improve blood circulation. However, some clinical studies have shown mixed results in relation to these claims. It is also important to note that despite the benefits Ginkgo can bring, it can also interact with medications and cause side effects. Therefore, it is always recommended to consult your doctor before using any Ginkgo-based supplements or drugs.
