< ... >
Ginkgo is full of a substance called quercetin, a common and powerful antioxidant. In fact, mounting research indicates that ginkgo's anti-inflammatory and defensive properties are particularly strong.

A 2003 study also suggested that ginkgo may effectively halt de-pigmentation - that is, the patchy loss of skin's natural color - and aid in re-pigmentation.

| Very interesting. I quite like the taste of the roasted gingko fruits (nuts?), but I've had more than one person tell me not to eat more than five or so at a sitting as they are supposedly poisonous when eaten in quantity. |

It may also be, yes, you guessed it: "Good for stamina!"
"Ginkgo - Medicinal use of ginkgo can be traced back 5,000 years in Chinese herbal medicine. The action of the herb may help support the brain, central nervous system and impotence. Ginkgo is known for increasing blood flow to the brain which aids in mental function. The herb also increases blood flow to the genitals which improves sexual function. In one study 78% of a group of men with impotence reported significant improvement without side effects. Ginkgo improves peripheral circulation and oxygenation." |
