Nova Vitae Ginkgo biloba 200mg plusThe Japanese temple tree or Ginkgo biloba has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Over the past decade, this herb (or rather: leaf of the tree) has also been receiving the attention it deserves in the West.
This attention and popularity can be easily explained by the discovery of a number of active substances in this leaf.
1. First, the so-called ginkgo flavone glycosides:
2. Second, the terpene lactones:
Terpene lactones are the non-flavonoid phytonutrients present in a good Ginkgo biloba extract.
The "Plus" in this product refers to the added grape seed (Vitis vinifera L.) extract which is standardized to at least 95% OPC.
50 mg OPC per day is a maintenance dosage.
The OPCs from grape seeds are among the strongest natural antioxidants.
Antioxidants help clear free radicals, keeping cells and tissues healthy.
