It
was chosen as an ingredient of Ron Ron because: It
contains flavonoids, important phytoestrogens helping in maintaining
an hormonal balance which is necessary for a healthy development
of the breast. Gingko's properties in improving circulation
(it acts on all levels of the circulation system: dilates
arteries, increases the tone of veins, increases cerebral
circulation) also obviously contribute to a better local circulation
of blood in the breasts, thus boosting the effects of all
the other ingredients of Ron Ron. |

aging* protects the blood-brain barrier (anatomical barriers
and transport systems that control types of substances entering
extracellular space of the brain).* decreases blood viscosity
(stickiness) by inhibiting the platelet activating factor
(PAF)* decreases tissue damage during circulatory stress and
increases circulation to the extremities* assists in the delivery
of oxygen and glucose to the brain* protects arteries, veins
and capillaries from damage, and helps regulate their tone
and elasticity.* used also for slowing the progression of
