Ginkgo Biloba

Hello everyone! It has long been asked to dismantle nootropics that were not created by man in some kind of laboratory, and the nature around us. Natural nootropics, a natural substance that can help us make our work better head. Just imagine how many different plants around us? One of them - Ginkgo, from its leaves get what affects the brain.

Ginkgo trees can live more than one! millennium, they have long been cultivated in China, they are planted in Asian religious places (monasteries and churches). We also know that Ginkgo - an extremely hardy trees, they steadfastly hold the disaster and human pollution. This reason + the beauty of the trees allows planted them along the streets of various cities.

In 1945, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on Japan, an interesting case was recorded. Approximately 1.5 km from the explosion of a nuclear bomb in Hiroshima every living thing was destroyed, but the 6 Ginkgo trees survived. They were charred, and yet, after a while bloomed again. Tree Phoenix, it drew the eyes of many pharmaceutical companies. And to date, dietary supplements, based on Ginkgo tree, is one of the most common and popular in Europe. But we are interested in is not the trees themselves, do not have to go and gnaw the bark.) All the beneficial properties found in Ginkgo leaves.

How does Ginkgo Biloba act?

In any medication based on Ginkgo active compounds are flavonoid glycosides and terpenoids.

1.Flavonoid glycosides. Do not miss a logical chain:

• Glycosides - a compound commonly found in plants. Glycosides - is antibiotics, some vitamins, coenzymes (type Q10).
• Flavonoid glycosides - glycosides, which, for the most part, have a P-vitamin activity.

More about Vitamin P:

• antioxidant (cleans free radicals, protects against cancer)
• strengthens blood vessels, improves blood circulation.

2.Terpenoids include ginkgolides and bilobalide. What is characteristic of these components:

• neuroprotective effect, protecting neurons in the brain,
• vasodilator effect
• improving the elasticity of blood vessels.

More interesting information about the bilobalide, they are negative allosteric modulator of GABA. Ie bilobalide "impede" the work of the main "brake" neurotransmitter, but do not confuse it with stimulation.

As can be seen from paragraphs 1 and 2, the basic principle of the ginkgo biloba - effects on the blood and blood vessels, and as a consequence - a good cerebral circulation and delivery of glucose as the main fuel of the brain.

When the flavonoid glycosides and terpenoids are working together, there is synergy. Its result - Inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO). This is a fairly complex topic, which is a separate story.

In short, MAO inhibitors - a lot of antidepressants. There are neurons, among them - the synoptic gap is the place where the fly neurotransmitters. One neuron neurotransmitters developed and sent them to the synoptic slit, and then they absorb the 2nd neuron, and some part back into the 1st. MAO inhibitors are not allowed to return neurotransmitters back!

MAO inhibitors should not be taken with substances, which greatly increase the levels of certain neurotransmitters. Otherwise, you can get a state close as in the drug overdose (cramping, vomiting, light-headedness).
