Often defined as the “living fossil”, the Ginkgo biloba tree is the only survivor of a genus that originated 150 million years ago. Ginkgo leaves are well-known for their content of a wide variety of medically active chemicals, most notably terpenoids (ginkgolides and bilobalide) and flavonoids.
Ginkoselect® is a standardized dry extract from Ginkgo biloba L. leaves. In an extensive review, the activity of Ginkgo biloba leaf extract is described as "polyvalent," because of its action on several physiological functions.
Ginkgo leaf extract is useful in keeping cerebral and peripheral vascular health, as well as in keeping to a minimum ageing effects such as dizziness, ringing in ears and short-term memory deterioration.
Both flavonoid and ginkgolide constituents are involved in the free radical scavenging and antioxidant effects of Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract, by leveling reactive oxygen species tissue levels and modulating membrane lipid peroxidation. With regard to its "anti-stress" effect, the extract acts via its ginkgolide constituents to normalize the expression of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor of the adrenal cortex.
Healthy cerebral and vascular function is important for healthy brain function, also determinant for social behavior and sleep. During aging, maintaining a healthy cerebral function with Ginkgo extract can be considered very helpful

Chronic Administration of a Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract Facilitates Acquisition but Not Performance of a Working Memory Task
Abstract: Rationale Ginkgo Biloba leaf extracts have been shown to improve learning and memory when administered chronically prior to the learning phase. However, the influence of Ginkgo on learning without prior chronic treatment and on memory per se (i.e., post-training administration) is less clear. Thus, experiment 1 investigated the influence of Ginkgo on the acquisition, and experiment 2 examined the acute and chronic effects of Ginkgo on memory in rats using a food-reinforced two-component double Y-maze task.
Gingkoselect Alleviates Chronic Corticosterone-induced Spatial Memory Deficits in Rats
Abstract: The preventive effects of Gingkoselect (100 mg/kg/day, orally, 21 days) on spatial memory deficits induced by a chronic restraint stress (2 h daily, 21 days) or chronic corticosterone treatment (5 mg/kg, subcutaneously, 21 days) were investigated using the Barnes maze. Chronic corticosterone, but not chronic stress, impaired spatial memory, as shown by increased latency to finding escape tunnel in the maze. Gingkoselect normalized cognitive deficits in rats chronically treated with corticosterone, and improved memory above the control levels in the chronically stressed rats.Product Overview
