Now Available: Extra Strength Ginkgo Biloba!

Improve your memory and brain health with the help of this ancient tree!

The leaves of the ancient ginkgo biloba tree have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to improve brain health, and ginkgo extract is one of the most popular supplements in Europe.

Modern research shows that ginkgo enhances memory, attention, and speed of cognitive processing in healthy young adults. It also improves blood circulation in the brain and the periphery of the body. This increase in circulation is thought to underlie ginkgo’s ability to improve memory and cognitive function for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease, and its ability to improve mood and behaviour for people with various forms of mild-to-moderate dementia. Ginkgo extract also improves symptoms of claudication, a condition in which reduced peripheral blood flow causes the legs to become severely fatigued and cramped after walking only a short distance.

Ginkgo Biloba, Extra Strength, 120 mg from Webber Naturals is an extra-strength herbal extract that provides the same dosage used in successful clinical trials. Studies have shown that ginkgo increases blood flow and circulation in the brain, helping to improve memory and cognitive function, as well as improve circulation throughout the body. It is a standardized extract concentrated 50:1 that contains 24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones, the primary active compounds.

Constipation and Cancer?

Kristin is back with Part 2 of her series on colon health and constipation...

Constipation is not typically a serious condition. However, there’s good reason pay attention to your bowel habits and your colon. The Canadian Cancer Society ranks colorectal cancer as the second leading cause of death from cancer in men and women combined. Like all cancers, there is no single cause, but diet and lifestyle modifications are on the list and are modifiable risk factors. What does this mean? It means that if you’re able, you can change your habits now to help reduce the risk of developing colon cancer.

Here is the list of possible causes of colorectal cancer provided by Canadian Cancer Society:

• age – particularly after 50
• having polyps (small growths on the inner wall of the colon and rectum)
• family history of colorectal cancer - especially if the relative (parent, sibling, child) developed colorectal cancer before the age of 45
• having familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC)
• inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease)
• diet high in red meat (beef, pork, lamb and goat)
• processed meat (ham, salami, sausage, hot dogs)
• alcohol consumption
• smoking
• physical inactivity
• obesity
• ethnic background – people of Ashkenazi (Eastern European Jewish) descent
