German urologists have found Ginkgo biloba a good treatment for male impotence. The herb stimulated blood flow through penile arteries, promoting erections. Researchers found 78% of fifty men suffering from 'arterial erectile impotence' improved after taking 240mg of standardised Ginkgo biloba extract for 9 months. Blood flow to penile arteries generally improved after 3 months and twenty men regained erections after 6 months

As with all herbs, although it has an excellent safety record, some takers do have side effects.Occasionally very mild and reversible side-effects, such as upset stomach and headaches and rarely insomnia have been reported. If dizziness occurs, start with a lower dose of ginkgo biloba and build up to the recommended dose gradually.

Products used should be standardised to contain at least 24% concentration of flavonglycosides, the plant's active ingredient and the therapeutic range is from 160-360mg a day preferably in divided doses, of ginkgo biloba .
