Ginkgo biloba is an exceptional supplement formulated from one of the oldest species of tree on Earth. Now available to buy at Supersmart and one of the world’s most widely-used supplements, Ginkgo biloba boasts numerous scientifically-supported benefits for the circulation and for cognitive function.
The supplement offered by SuperSmart differs from other such products in that it has a very high content of active principles: 24% ginkgo flavonglycosides and 6% terpene lactones (ginkgolides A, B et C, bilobalides). Unlike many average products on the market, this supplement is composed exclusively of natural ingredients (natural extract of Ginkgo biloba, rice flour and acacia fibre).
Who is Ginkgo Biloba aimed at?
A truly exceptional species, Ginkgo biloba can improve daily life for all sorts of people.
Nonetheless, it is especially recommended for those at higher risk of cognitive decline and circulation problems:
-
Those aged over 50, particularly women.
-
Those who suffer with circulation problems.
-
Those who are not very physically active.
-
Those with raised cholesterol levels.
-
Those who smoke.
-
Those with hypertension.
-
Those who are overweight.
-
Those with a parent, brother or sister affected by significant cognitive decline.
What are the benefits offered by Ginkgo biloba?
Therapeutic use of Ginkgo biloba among Asian populations dates back thousands of years: it is actually one of traditional Chinese medicine’s most important plants.
Substantiating the experiences of these forebears, more than 200 studies conducted over the course of the 20th century have confirmed the effects of ginkgo biloba on circulation and brain function.
A positive effect on circulation
There are many compounds responsible for this effect, the most important of which are without doubt the flavonoids. These antioxidants are recognised for acting at all levels of the circulatory system. Ginkgo biloba contains a large number of them such as kaempferol, quercetol and luteolin, grouped together under the name ginkgo flavonglycosides. Once ingested, they help:
- Relax capillary resistance.
- Increase blood flow to the brain.
- Combat platelet activating factor which promotes blood viscosity and inflammation of blood vessels.
- Act as ‘flak-jackets’ against oxidising agents circulating in the blood that damage blood vessels.
- Improve the fat and carbohydrate metabolism implicated in inflammation of blood vessel walls.
- Improve the circulation.
Benefits for cognitive decline
Research shows that Ginkgo biloba is able to optimise cognitive function while at the same time slowing down cerebral ageing. Its high content of terpene lactones (primarily bilobalides) means it is able to protect mitochondrial barriers from oxidising elements, which helps increase energy production (fewer ‘leaks’). It also consolidates neural circuits which ensures the preservation of our memories and the optimisation of our cognitive faculties.
In addition to its effect on mitochondrial function, Ginkgo biloba extract also contributes to several physiological improvements in cognitive health:
-
Increased serotonin in synapses which boosts activity in the hippocampus, a memory-integrating structure in the brain.
-
Stronger expression of the genes that control synaptic growth in neurons.
-
Deactivation of NF-kB, a pro-inflammatory molecule implicated in neuro death.
-
Two recent meta-analyses identified studies highlighting these effects on the brain and confirmed ginkgo’s efficacy for improving daily life and problems with cognitive function (difficulty concentrating, changes in memory, confusion, low cognitive efficiency ...).
5 good reasons to choose SuperSmart’s Ginkgo Biloba
-
It’s an exceptionally high-quality product with a high content in active principles: 24% ginkgo flavonglycosides and 6% terpene lactones (ginkgolides A, B and C, bilobalides).
-
The excipients used are 100% natural (acacia and rice flour).
-
Ginkgo biloba is an extremely hardy species : it has adapted to all the climate changes that have taken place over the last 150 million years or more, making it a genuine ‘living fossil’. In 1945, four ginkgo biloba trees survived the nuclear bomb at Hiroshima despite being located less than 3 kilometres from the impact. A feat which is testimony to their incredible resilience.
-
The lifespan of the Ginkgo biloba is extraordinary: the oldest specimens are 4000 years old and 40 metres tall. This longevity is attributed to the remarkable combination of micronutrients found in the tree’s cells which enables it to resist disease, parasites, pollutants, heat, insects and even ageing itself.
-
It’s one of the most clinically-tested natural substances for improving the circulation and optimising cognitive function.

Popular with our customers for its efficacy and value for money, Triple C combines three specific forms of vitamin C in a single capsule, that acts synergistically within the body: ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate.
What are the benefits associated with Triple C capsules?
The importance of vitamin C to human health is widely recognized. Confirmed by numerous scientific studies, it's properties are beneficial, if not essential, to several vital functions. Vitamin C is best-known for its key role in maintaining the immune system and improving the body's natural defences, now available to buy at Supersmart.
It is also recognised as a powerful natural antioxidant that helps combat oxidative stress, free radicals and cellular ageing. And vitamin C's benefits do not stop there. On the contrary, it is involved in a multitude of metabolic reactions, with the most active form, ascorbic acid, working at many levels within the body:
-
Helps produce collagen, a protein providing mechanical resistance to stretching of the tissues.
-
Is involved in the formation of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and noradrenaline.
-
Helps produce carnitine which is central role to the transport and use of fatty acids by the mitochondria to produce energy.
-
Participates in the synthesis of red blood cells.
-
Encourages the absorption of plant-source iron.
-
Protects cells from the ageing process, acting in synergy with vitamin E, beta-carotene, le selenium, and zinc.
