1. Contains powerful antioxidants. Ginkgo contains potent antioxidants, which fight the damaging effects of free radicals and may be behind most of its health claims.

2. Can help fight inflammation. Ginkgo has the ability to reduce inflammation caused by various conditions. This may be one of the reasons it has such broad health applications.

3. Improve circulation and heart health. Ginkgo can increase blood flow by promoting the dilation of blood vessels. This may have applications for the treatment of diseases related to poor circulation.

4. Reduce symptoms of psychiatric disorders and dementia. It cannot be concluded that ginkgo treats Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, but it might help in some cases. The chances of it helping seem to increase when used alongside conventional treatment.

5. Improve brain function and well-being. Some research shows that ginkgo may improve mental performance in healthy people, but the data is inconsistent.

6. Can reduce anxiety. Some research shows that ginkgo may help treat anxiety, though this is likely due to its antioxidant content.

7. Can treat depression. Ginkgo’s anti-inflammatory effects give it the potential to treat depression. More research is needed.

8. Can support vision and eye health. Some early research shows that supplementing with ginkgo may increase blood flow to the eyes but not necessarily improve vision. More research is needed.

9. Can treat headaches and migraines. Because of its ability to increase blood flow and reduce inflammation, ginkgo may be an effective treatment for some types of headaches.

10. Can improve asthma and COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) symptoms. Ginkgo may treat symptoms associated with respiratory diseases because of its anti-inflammatory effects. More research is needed.
