Ginkgo biloba polysaccharides hair-growth promoting

🚨 The text mentions hair-growth-promoting effects of Ginkgo biloba leaf polysaccharides, which is relevant to hair and scalp health, but the primary focus is on the broader bioactivities of these polysaccharides.

TLDR Ginkgo biloba leaf polysaccharides have many health benefits and potential for commercial use.

This review highlights the extraction, purification, structural characterization, and bioactivities of Ginkgo biloba leaf polysaccharides (GBLPs). GBLPs are noted for their diverse biological activities, including antioxidant, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, antidepressant, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic, and hair-growth-promoting effects. The review emphasizes the need for further research to understand the complex chemical composition and mechanisms of action of GBLPs, as most isolated polysaccharides are crude. The paper aims to stimulate interest and provide resources for researchers in the field.
