Ginkgo (Ginkgo Biloba)

The memory tree — brain circulation, cognitive clarity, and neuroprotection from the world's oldest living tree species.

Ginkgo biloba is one of the most ancient plants on earth, unchanged for over 200 million years — and one of the most researched herbs in modern science. Its leaves contain unique ginkgolides and flavonoids that improve blood flow to the brain, protect neurons from oxidative damage, and enhance cognitive function. Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for millennia and now clinically studied for memory, focus, and age-related cognitive decline.
