Purpose/Usage
Features and Benefits:
-Specifically formulated for people over 55
-Includes ginkgo for circulation
-Supports metabolism
-Contains antioxidants to help reduce the risk of cell damage attributed to free radicals
-Supports capillary health
Multi + Ginkgo for 55+ contains the antioxidant nutrients betacarotene, vitamins C and E, and zinc. Antioxidants act as ‘free-radical scavengers’. Free radicals are common in the body, arising through a variety of mechanisms. Some are generated in the body as part of normal energy-producing processes, some are generated by pollutants such as air pollution, and some are generated by lifestyle factors such as excess dietary fats, cigarette smoke, and alcohol ingestion. Many of these free radicals are dealt with by the body’s own free radical, antioxidant defences. Some free radicals however escape these defences, and tend to accumulate. Research suggests that this accumulation of free radicals can result in cellular damage.
Ginkgo increases blood flow and so can increase tissue nutrition. It tones and helps normalise circulation as it has a relaxing (vasodilating) effect on arteries and a toning effect on veins. Ginkgo increases the fluidity of blood and in this way may improve peripheral circulation. Improving circulation can enhance the utilization of oxygen and glucose by the body.
Brain cells require large amounts of energy to function properly. Glucose and oxygen need to be constantly supplied to the brain cells to create energy, as the brain has very small energy reserves. Many studies have shown positive effects of ginkgo on working memory, the speed of information processing and learning.
