NEURONUTRIENTS WITH GINKGO PLUS

Much of the activity of the brain is initiated and regulated by chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters play a part in alertness, memory, sleep patterns, mood, concentration, reflexes, co-ordination, general nerve and muscle function, cardiovascular function and so on. As a result, both mental and physical function can be hindered by a lack of neurotransmitters or improved by a balanced supply.

The use of the dietary compounds which convert into neurotransmitters are very safe and non-habit forming, which is not the case with certain drug treatments. Certain amino acids are converted into neurotransmitters. Our Ginkgo Plus formulation provides a balanced blend of Ginkgo Biloba, amino acids, vitamin and other nutritional factors that are vital for brain enhancement and may be used safely by the young and old alike.

Phenylalanine

The amino acid phenylalanine is a dietary precursor to the important stimulatory neurotransmitters such as noradrenaline. Among other functions, this neurotransmitter is partly responsible for an elevation in mental alertness and mood. Deficiencies in this amino acid would result in impaired mental and psychological functioning, and indeed, research has shown this amino acid to have anti-depressant effects. Researchers have reported the potential of this amino acid to improve memory and suppress the appetite.

L-Glutamine

L-glutamine is another example of an amino acid with substantial benefits to mental functioning. Glutamic acid plays a role in mental alertness and even memory enhancement.

Choline

The nutrient choline is a component of the phospholipid known as lecithin. Choline is needed in order to make another vital stimulatory neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine plays a major role in many functions of the brain such as memory and learning abilities as well as alertness. In addition to these properties, acetylcholine is needed for proper nerve and muscle control throughout the body.

Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo trees have actually been on earth over 200 million years, predating the dinosaurs! The tree is native to China but the tree’s name is derived from the Japanese word ginkgo and, because the leaves have two lobes, its botanical name became Ginkgo Biloba. In the fall the trees wear yellowing leaves rich with flavonoids (flavo means yellow). These flavonoids provide the herb’s antioxidant power.

There are several mechanisms by which ginkgo exerts its beneficial effect on mental functioning.

First of all, Ginkgo is known to improve circulation to the brain. It initiates vasodilatation (opening of the blood vessels) in the capillaries, which accounts for the increased blood flow and thus an increased level of oxygen and nutrients to the brain cells. Lack of brain oxygen is one of the main contributors to loss of mental performance, especially in the elderly. Nerve transmission sites (neurons) are especially harmed by lack of oxygen (hypoxia). Ginkgo extracts enhance nerve transmission in the brain and improve the production and usage of neurotransmitters within the brain. There is a particular benefit in the case of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, as ginkgo facilitates its receptors in a particular portion of the brain called the hippocampus. The damage to brain cells and ultimately to mental performance can occur due to many influences, but one of the most detrimental is the destruction caused by free radicals, highly reactive molecules or fragments of molecules which interfere with cellular functions. Ginkgo components are known to act as powerful antioxidants in the brain, thereby scavenging free radicals which otherwise would cause premature death of cells. In addition, ginkgo biloba promotes the more efficient metabolism of glucose, the brain’s major source of energy.

No More Migraines:

When ginkgo extract was given to patients suffering from migraines in an open trial back in 1975, there was an improvement or a near - total cure in 80 percent of suffers.

Alzheimer's & More:

Ginkgo has also been used with patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, but you don’t have to be senile to benefit from gingko. In a double-blind study of elderly patients who did not have Alzheimer’s, gingko improved performance on tests of mental acuity and memory and those patients with the most deteriorated initial condition improved the most.

Even healthy young minds work better after consuming gingko. In 1988, Hindmarch reported his study of standardized gingko extract capsules on the short-term memory of volunteers ages 25 to 40. He used a double-blind crossover trial, and found just 1 hour after participants consumed one 600-mg dose of gingko, their short-term memory significantly improved.

Increase Sex Drive:

Since this improves blood flow to the brain, why not other parts further south? When 60 men who were unable to maintain an erection and who had not responded to the usual drug therapy (papaverine injections) were given 60 mg of gingko per day, by 6 months into the study 50 percent of them could maintain erections.
