Pharmacology
Ginkgo biloba improves blood flow to the brain, protects the brain nerve cells against damage caused by free radicals and inhibits platelet aggregation, which makes blood less sticky. Panax ginseng improves oxygen and glucose utilization by the tissues, helps to modulate neurotransmission, helps in energy metabolism and stimulates brain function. This combination is more effective than Ginkgo Biloba alone.
Mechanism of action
Ginkgo improves blood flow to the brain and Ginseng improves oxygen and glucose utilization, which together improve cognitive function and memory.
