Green Herb

Ginkgo Biloba Extract Powder (GBE) is derived from the Ginkgo biloba tree, renowned for its rich array of effective compounds, including total flavonoids, ginkgolides, and other beneficial substances. This extract offers numerous health benefits, such as dilating blood vessels, protecting vascular endothelial tissue, regulating blood lipids, safeguarding low-density lipoprotein, inhibiting platelet-activating factor (PAF), preventing thrombosis, and scavenging free radicals.

Ginkgo biloba boasts a diverse range of biological activities due to its chemical components, which include flavonoids, terpenes, polysaccharides, phenols, organic acids, alkaloids, amino acids, steroids, and trace elements. Notably, it is rich in vitamins C and E, carotene, calcium, phosphorus, boron, and selenium, with flavonoids and terpenoids being its most valued medicinal components for their vasodilating and antioxidant properties.

As a "living fossil," Ginkgo biloba has thrived for approximately 200 million years, primarily in China, which holds 70% of the world’s ginkgo resources. Historically used in Chinese herbal medicine since the 14th century, it has treated ailments like cough, asthma, and inflammation. Known by various names such as duck feet, Gongsun tree, and duck palm tree, this deciduous tree can grow up to 40 meters tall, characterized by its erect trunk and gray bark. Ginkgo leaves are fan-shaped, measuring 4-8 cm long and 5-10 cm wide, clustered on short branches and alternately arranged on long branches.

Ginkgo biloba thrives in regions with an average annual temperature of 14°C to 18°C, enduring cool winters and warm, humid summers. It is distributed across a wide range in China, from Liaoning in the north to Guangdong in the south, and from Taiwan in the east to Qinghai in the west. The tree is sensitive to extreme cold and does not thrive in tropical climates lacking distinct seasons.

Certificate of Analysis

Ginkgo biloba extract Powder Flow Chart

Function

1. Whitening Effects

When our physical condition is poor, our endocrine system can become imbalanced, leading to an excess of oxygen free radicals and insufficient superoxide dismutase (SOD). This imbalance results in oxidative reactions in dermal cells, contributing to the formation of lipofuscin (lipid peroxide) and skin issues like melasma or pregnancy spots. The flavonoids in Ginkgo biloba help inhibit pigment formation and deposition in the dermis, promoting skin whitening and preventing pigmented plaques. Additionally, trace elements like manganese and molybdenum in ginkgo leaves can scavenge oxygen free radicals, further inhibiting melanin production.

2. Wrinkle Reduction

Human skin renews itself approximately every three months, yet fine lines may persist. This occurs when newly formed dermal cells, damaged by free radicals, reach the skin’s surface as aging cells. Flavonoid glycosides and flavonols in Ginkgo biloba act as free radical scavengers, protecting dermal cells, improving blood circulation, and preventing oxidative damage that leads to wrinkles.

3. Cardiovascular Benefits

Ginkgo biloba extract inhibits the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in human serum, which helps dilate blood vessels and enhance blood flow. Its terpene lactones serve as specific PAF receptor blockers, inhibiting platelet activating factor (PAF) and cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase. Ginkgo biloba extract effectively reduces platelet aggregation induced by PAF without affecting ADP-induced aggregation.

4. Central Nervous System Effects

Ginkgo biloba extract positively influences the endocrine system and the interplay between the immune system and the central nervous system by inhibiting PAF. This enhances brain circulation and metabolism, improving memory function. It also alleviates hypoxia-induced memory impairment, potentially due to increased cerebral blood flow and improved brain energy metabolism. Ginkgolide B shows promise in clinical stroke treatment.

5. Gastrointestinal Protection

Ginkgo biloba extract significantly improves gastric and intestinal ulcers caused by PAF and endotoxin, and it can mitigate ethanol-induced stomach damage. It may also have therapeutic potential for liver cirrhosis, with Ginkgolide B possibly playing a role in treating acute pancreatitis.

6. Respiratory Benefits

The ethanolic extract of Ginkgo biloba directly relaxes tracheal smooth muscle. Inhaled aerosolized Ginkgo biloba extract can inhibit bronchoconstriction and reduce the white blood cell and eosinophil count affected by PAF. This makes Ginkgo biloba extract significant for managing bronchial hyperresponsiveness.

7. Transplantation Support

Ginkgo biloba extract prolongs the survival of transplanted skin, ectopic heart xenografts, and orthotopic liver xenografts. It inhibits the natural killer (NK) cell activity against KC526 target cells and counters the NK cell activity stimulated by interferon.

Application

1. Ginkgo Biloba in Food and Health Products

Flavonoids from Ginkgo biloba possess strong antioxidant properties, making them ideal for use in oils and baked goods. These total flavonoids, which are primarily yellow and both water- and fat-soluble, can also serve as natural colorants. When processed into ultrafine powder, Ginkgo biloba leaves can be incorporated into cakes, biscuits, noodles, candies, and ice creams at concentrations of 5% to 10%, enhancing their health benefits. In Canada, Ginkgo biloba extract is recognized as a food additive, while in Germany and France, it has been approved as an over-the-counter drug. The U.S. Pharmacopoeia (24th Edition) includes Ginkgo biloba, and its extract is available as a dietary supplement. There are over 30 ginkgo products worldwide, including ginkgo leaves, oral liquids, injections, granules, and extracts. From 2009 to 2011, Ginkgo biloba preparations consistently ranked among the top three commonly used drugs in cardiovascular medicine. While ginkgo contains minor amounts of proanthocyanidins and urushiolic acids—substances that can be toxic—proper processing can minimize their presence in food. Currently, there are no reported acute or chronic toxicities or teratogenic effects within the recommended dosage range. The Ministry of Health approved Ginkgo biloba extract as a new food additive in 1992, and its total flavonoids continue to gain traction in the food industry, promising a bright future for further research and development.

2. Ginkgo Biloba in Daily Chemicals

In the daily chemical industry, combining Ginkgo biloba extract powder with skin absorption enhancers can mitigate irritation from adhesives used in topical ointments and patches, including emulsions, creams, gels, and plasters. Current skincare products featuring Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) include anti-aging cleansers, body washes, lipsticks, and eye creams. Additionally, GBE is utilized in hair growth and care products. Research by Chen Yan et al. has even shown that adding Ginkgo biloba extract to toothpaste may provide anti-caries benefits.
