The combination of ginkgo and hawthorn is one of the most popular in Europe for the treatment of poor circulation, atherosclerosis, headaches, tinnitus, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes. It improves blood circulation and enzyme metabolism throughout the body and supports the utilization of oxygen to the heart. Improved circulation to the brain removes toxins and provide nutrients and oxygen reducing fatigue and improving brain function. Both ginkgo and hawthorn have gentle actions and are considered to be among the safest of all herbal medicines. Because their effects are gradual, best results will be realized through extended, moderate use. Besides ginkgo and hawthorn, this formula also contains olive leaf extract, which also benefits circulation by helping to maintain normal blood pressure.
The ginkgo tree is one of the oldest in the world! And ginkgo leaf has been a big part of Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Its ability to support circulation has been documented in numerous clinical trials. Today, this fan-shaped leaf is used to support the cardiovascular system and the brain.
