Ginkgo Biloba is a medicinal plant renowned for its healing properties, being used successfully in supporting cardiovascular, neurological and ocular health. The active substances responsible for these benefits are ginkgoflavonoids, lactonic terpenes and the antioxidant properties of the extract.

The cardiovascular benefits of Ginkgo Biloba are mainly attributed to ginkgoflavonoids-glycosides, such as quercetin, kaempherol and isorhamentin, which have a powerful antioxidant effect. These substances inhibit platelet aggregation and normalise the permeability and elasticity of blood vessels, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Ginkgo Biloba also has significant neurological benefits, thanks to lactonic terpenes such as ginkgolides and bilobalides. These substances protect nerve cells, reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Ginkgo Biloba extract may also be useful in conditions with circulatory components, such as diabetic foot.

In addition, the antioxidant properties of Ginkgo Biloba extend to the eyes, being useful in the treatment of conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, senile cataracts and macular degeneration.

It is important to follow the recommendations of manufacturers and specialists before taking any dietary supplement or natural remedy, including Ginkgo Biloba. A daily dose of 120-240 mg of Ginkgo Biloba is usually recommended for adults, taken for at least 8 weeks to see significant benefits on cognitive health, peripheral circulation or other actions.

For lower doses, such as 40 mg or 80 mg, it is recommended to take one tablet three times a day or twice a day, respectively, for a longer period of at least 12 weeks. Observe the recommended interval between doses and do not exceed the maximum daily dose.

For Ginkgo Biloba ampoules, it is recommended to take one ampoule per day, preferably in the morning, diluted in a glass of lukewarm water. These ampoules can be mixed with fruit juice, milk or tea to mask the bitter taste of the Ginkgo Biloba extract. It is important to follow the recommended duration of treatment, which should not exceed 3 months.

Be aware of possible interactions with other medicines or dietary supplements you are taking at the same time as Ginkgo Biloba and always consult your doctor before starting treatment with Ginkgo Biloba.

Lecithin is a phospholipid that is essential for the health of the body and plays a crucial role in the construction of cell membranes throughout the body. It is mainly found in vital organs such as the heart, liver and brain. However, despite a balanced diet, the foods we eat often do not provide us with the necessary amount of lecithin.

In such cases, a lecithin supplement can be beneficial.

Special demands, such as an unbalanced diet, advancing age and periods of physical and mental stress, can increase the body's need for lecithin. Plant-based lecithin supplements are therefore particularly useful in these situations.

One of the most important sources of lecithin is soy. It contains choline, inositol and unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) – substances that are important for the proper functioning of the body. These elements are also essential components of nerve cells, contributing to the synthesis of neurotransmitters and, implicitly, to the efficient transmission of nerve impulses.

To benefit from the properties of lecithin, there are a variety of products on the market, such as soy lecithin capsules or lecithin-based dietary supplements. It is important to consult a doctor before taking lecithin supplements, especially if you have certain pre-existing medical conditions. Ginkgo Biloba also supports brain and blood vessel health and is extremely effective in preventing conditions in this area.

Ginkgo Biloba capsules should be taken during or after a meal with a glass of water.

It is important to be aware of both the benefits and side effects of any dietary supplement or medication you take. In the case of Ginkgo Biloba, there are certain side effects and issues to be aware of.

Common side effects include an increased risk of bleeding, gastrointestinal discomfort, constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headaches, dizziness, palpitations, agitation and allergic skin reactions.

It is important to take extra precautions when using Ginkgo Biloba with anticoagulant medications, as it may affect the body's ability to clot blood. In addition, pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid taking this dietary supplement, as its effects on the health of women and children have not yet been fully elucidated.
