Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. It is a progressive degenerative disorder characterized by a widespread loss of brain cells, beta-amyloid deposits in the cerebral blood vessels, development of plaque and the presence of neurofibrillary tangles. The exact cause of Alzheimer’s is unknown, however, research has found some clues pointing to nutritional deficiencies.
The Gingko Biloba herb is a key nutrient in nutritional supplements for the brain aimed at memory. There is a great deal of clinical evidence supporting the connection between long term doses of Gingko and the potential to boost memory and brain function. Gingko has been double-blind tested many times for its ability to increase the oxygen content to the brain and other bodily tissues. Search for dose amounts of at least 100 mg. In terms of potency levels the extract must be standardized to 24% ginkgoflavonglycosides, containing 6% terpene lactones. Extract ratio of 50:1
