Research Finding: The special extract in Ginkgo Biloba comprises two key groups of compounds, the ginkgo flavonglycosides and terpene lactones. The flavonglycosides and bio-flavonglycosides principally made up of mono-,di-and tri-glycosides of quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin. These compounds are primarily responsible for Ginkgo’s antioxidant activity. The terpene lactones comprise four ginkgolides plus bilobalide. The ginkgolides play an important role in ginkgo’s circulatory effects and its ability to exhibit platelet activity factor. Bilobalide appears to possess pronounced neuroprotective properties.*
