Reply:Ginko has been touted more for its memory boosting ability than for relieving depression, but it is believed to boost oxygen, and aid in blood flow. Diminished blood flow has been linked to depression.





Be sure that you buy Ginko extracts that contain at least 24% flavone glycosides (organic substances responsible for the herbs antioxidant and anti clotting properties) and 6% terpene lactones (primarily chemicals called ginkgolides and bilobalides, which improve blood flow and are thought to protect the nerves`

Take 120 mg of Ginko daily divided up into two or three doses a day for general memory boosting or poor circulation.
