The proposed innovative product includes dry polysaccharide extract of Tremella fucus (extractant – purified water). As it was found, polysaccharides of this mushroom significantly increase the absorption of water-soluble plant extract mixed with them and provide its more pronounced effect of positive influence on the body.

The plant has a positive effect on cognitive functions and long-term memory formation, promotes neurogenesis and neuroprotection. It is an extremely effective remedy for people in old age both as prevention and correction of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The substances with such nootropic and neuroprotective properties in ginkgo biloba are the terpene ginkgolides and bilobalides. Their peculiarity is that they easily cross the blood-brain barrier, improve blood circulation, increase the supply of glucose, which is the main element of nutrition of brain cells, and increase the flow of oxygen to tissues, reducing the manifestations of hypoxia. As an antioxidant, this plant is involved in the fight against oxidative stress, preventing the formation of free radicals and excessive lipid peroxidation of cell membranes, markedly reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. These properties allow us to call ginkgo biloba a multifunctional nootropic and neuroprotective agent, especially necessary for people in old age, when the risks of oxidative stress increase and the body’s defense functions decrease.

Ginkgo biloba stimulates the release and reuptake of the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and acetylcholine and their binding to receptors. The plant can increase dopamine levels in the brain by inhibiting the production of monoamine oxidase (MAO), an enzyme that breaks down dopamine. The result of increased dopamine levels is reduced anxiety, increased concentration and increased motivation. Thus, extracts with ginkgo biloba can be used for ADHD therapy.

Ginkgo biloba also shows positive results in patients with cerebrovascular disorders, helping to recover from strokes. Has a positive effect in erectile dysfunction. It has an antithrombotic effect, reducing platelet aggregation, lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure, improves blood rheology, reduces the permeability of the vascular wall, improving vein tone and preventing the development of atherosclerosis.
