Ginkgo Biloba

So we all know that ginkgo biloba is good for memory. But what you may not know is that it is good for your eyes too!

The flavonoids found in ginkgo may help slow or reduce some retinal problems. For example problems to the back part of the eye such as macular degeneration and blindness from diabetes. Macular degeneration (also referred to as age-related macular degeneration or ARMD) is a degenerative and progressive eye disease that is known to affect older adults and is the number one cause of blindness in the United States. Some studies suggest that gingko may help preserve vision in those with ARMD.

So grab some ginkgo biloba and add it to your vitamin regimen!
