Product Description
Mechanism of action
Bilobalide is a sesquiterpene trilactone from *Ginkgo biloba* with neuroprotective, GABA-modulating and mitochondrial-stabilising effects. It enhances neuronal survival by regulating mitochondrial permeability transition, increasing ATP synthesis and reducing oxidative stress. Bilobalide also modulates GABA_A receptors and influences neuroinflammatory signalling.
Benefits and advantages
Used in neuroprotection research, mitochondrial-dynamics studies, GABA-modulation assays, cognitive-function modelling, plant-derived nootropic investigations and oxidative-stress pathway research.
Side effects and risks
Risks include mild GI upset, headaches, allergic reactions and potential proconvulsant activity at high concentrations. Handle with phytochemical safety protocols.
