Gotu kola is an herb which naturally energizes the memory, increases physical stamina, and relieves stress.

Our Unique Formulation:

No product on the market has as high a potency as our Ginkgo Kola™ product. We use the finest herbal extracts available in our exclusive formula Ginkgo Kola™ capsules. The ginkgo biloba we use is a 50 to 1 extract of the leaf grown in Korea. It contains a standardized minimum of 24% ginkgoflavon-glycosides and 6% terpene lactones. The gotu kola we use is a 10 to 1 standardized extract of the leaf. Standardized extracts are used because not only are they the most potent, but they offer a "standard" herbal product that is identical from batch to batch. Consumers can rely on the same product every time they purchase even though herbal materials vary in potency from season to season and year to year.

Ginkgo biloba is the world's oldest species of tree; its ancestors date back 200 million years. Ginkgo is native to China, where it is considered a sacred tree. In traditional Chinese medicine, ginkgo is believed to benefit the brain. In Germany and France, where ginkgo is prescribed like a drug, ginkgo leaf extract accounts for more than 1 percent of drug sales (1).

Ginkgo seems to increase blood flow to the brain, improving the supply of oxygen and glucose. At the cellular level, ginkgo stabilizes membranes, scavenges toxic free radicals, stimulates enzymes that relax arterial muscles and inhibits blood platelet clotting (2).

More than a dozen clinical studies have been conducted in Europe that show that ginkgo can reduce mental decline (3-6). The most recent American clinical study has proven ginkgo as effective as any known drug in treating Alzheimer's dementia (7).
