GINKGO - Eases Leg Cramps

Intermittent claudication is a fairly common condition. it causes leg pain that develops with exercise and disappears after resting. This cramping or severe fatigue results from an inadequate arterial blood flow to the leg muscles.

Ginkgo biloba extract (GBIF) has been shown to be useful in treating this problem. Five placebo-controlled clinical trials showed significant improvement in the pain-free walking ability of patients after 3 to 6 months of treatment with 120 mg of GBF per day.
