Ginkgo biloba has been cultivated and used for a variety of reasons for thousands of years. Its leaves and seeds have been heavily used in traditional Chinese medicine, however, modern science and research have focused more on ginkgo leaf extract. Studies have shown that Ginkgo leaf extract contain powerful antioxidants which help neutralize the damaging effect of free radicals which can damage healthy tissues and lead to increased aging.
