The active ingredients in Ginkgo biloba extract can inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce blood viscosity, thereby reducing the risk of thrombosis. This effect helps improve blood circulation, reduce the deposition of lipids in the blood vessel wall, and thus regulate blood lipid levels.
It can also lower blood lipids by regulating lipid metabolism. It can reduce the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood, while increasing the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). LDL-C is one of the main risk factors for atherosclerosis, while HDL-C helps transport excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues back to the liver for metabolism and excretion. Therefore, Ginkgo biloba extract helps prevent the formation and development of atherosclerosis by regulating the ratio of these two types of cholesterol.
The active ingredients such as flavonoids in Ginkgo biloba extract have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which can protect the blood vessel wall from damage caused by oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions. This helps reduce the deposition of lipids in the blood vessel wall and the progression of atherosclerosis, thereby further regulating blood lipid levels.
It also has the effect of improving microcirculation, increasing vascular elasticity, dilating blood vessels, and providing more adequate nutrition and oxygen to various parts of the body. This helps alleviate the problem of poor blood circulation caused by hyperlipidemia and further promotes the regulation and metabolism of blood lipids.
For patients who already suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, ginkgo leaf extract can be used as an auxiliary treatment drug. When used in combination with lipid-lowering drugs and antihypertensive drugs, ginkgo leaf extract can improve the treatment effect, reduce drug side effects, and help improve the patient’s prognosis.
