Background and Use
Ginkgo biloba is the world's oldest living species of tree, dating back more than 200 million years. Individual trees live as long as 1,000 years. It is now commonly planted in the cities of Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia, and the United States due to its hardiness and resistance to infection and pollution.
Although the medicinal use of the seed originates from China from 5000 years ago, it was not until this the 20th century that the leaves of the tree were first used in European herbal medicine. Many of Ginkgo's current uses originate from research and clinical observations during the 1950s in Europe.
In Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine), Gotu Kola is considered to be a highly spiritual herb and its name means "of divine origin". It is said to develop the crown chakra, the energy center at the top of the head, and to balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Ayurveda regards Gotu Kola as an important rejuvenating herb for nerve and brain cells, capable of increasing intelligence, longevity and memory. This is a traditional belief and has not been proven in human studies.
Choline a precursor to Acetylcholine, a chemical used to transfer nerve impulses. Therefore, Choline is believed to have neurological effects. Choline is a constituent of PhosphatidylCholine (PC), which is a component of cell walls and membranes and this is important at a cellular level since the cell membranes are the gates through which nutrients enter and wastes leave your cells, allowing them to function properly. It is also involved in fat and cholesterol metabolism and transport.
