Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgo biloba L.) is a deciduous tree belonging to the Ginkgoaceae family and is considered one of the oldest living tree species, often referred to as a “living fossil.” Native to China, Ginkgo has been cultivated for thousands of years for its medicinal properties. The leaves contain a variety of bioactive compounds, including flavonoid glycosides, terpene lactones (ginkgolides and bilobalide), proanthocyanidins, and organic acids, which are known for their antioxidant, neuroprotective, and circulatory-supporting effects. Today, Ginkgo biloba is widely used as a standardized herbal extract in dietary supplements to support cognitive and cardiovascular health.
