Mental Performance Enhancer
Panloba™ is a combination well loved by practitioners. At St. Francis Herb Farm®, we are constantly striving to improve our products and formulas by incorporating the latest research, confirmed in turn by careful clinical practice. In our estimation, the addition of Chinese ginseng to this combo makes it a product of unparalleled value for its two primary intended purposes:
• to improve mental performance, concentration, and memory; and
• to prevent declining mental performance, concentration, and memory associated with aging or disease
The ingredient herbs are medicinal plants with thousands of years of traditional use behind them. A tremendous amount of modern clinical and laboratory work confirms that they are especially effective for improving mental functions.
Recent research has revealed that ginkgo in combination with Chinese ginseng outperforms either herb alone for improving mental function. The authors of one randomized controlled trial (RCT) that examined a ginseng-ginkgo combination reported that “the most striking (and unexpected) result was a marked and sustained improvement in Serial Sevens performance following the Ginkgo-Ginseng combination.”
This formula centres on the proven memory and cognition-enhancing efficacy of the ginkgo and ginseng combination. Bacopa has a long-standing tradition of use for augmenting recall and mental agility, while rosemary, in addition to its frank memory and thinking benefits, also acts as a circulatory diffusant – that class of remedy that brings the other ingredients to their seat of action – the brain.
Combinations to consider:
Consider using Panloba™ in addition to Strest™, for its ability to improve mental function under stressful conditions.
Administration:
Take 5-7.5 ml (150-225 drops) as needed, before exams or other situations that pose a challenge to memory and concentration. Alternatively, for long-term use, take 1.5-2 ml three times daily in a little water on an empty stomach.
Contra-indications and Cautions:
Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are taking prescription medications or if you have a medical condition. Do not take when pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not take if allergic to the Araliaceae or Plantaginaceae family of plants. Discontinue use at least 36 hours prior to surgery. Discontinue if hypersensitivity occurs.
Available in bottle sizes of 50ml, 100ml, and 250ml.
A NOTE ON TINCTURES
Tinctures are more readily absorbed by the body and have a high degree of bio-availability. As well, they have a long shelf life.
Sometimes people ask us why tinctures are alcohol-based. There are very good reasons. Alcohol is critically important in the extraction of an herb's medicinal ingredients. It also helps to stabilize and preserve them. Alcohol is the ideal carrier substance, conveying the therapeutic goodness of the herb to the body. In itself, too, science has proven that alcohol enhances the immune system and its defences.
As for the amount of alcohol taken in an average dose of tincture, you'll be surprised to learn that it's about the same as what you'd find in an overly ripe banana!
Tinctures remain the most practical way to take advantage of the amazing, health-giving power of herbs.

Testimonials
Amazed at the results.
“A client came to my clinic for a massage. I noticed that her feet were extremely cold. She said that her hands and feet were like that from September to June. I suggested she use Ginkgo Combo three times per day for three months. She gladly complied. She was amazed at the results and said that Ginkgo Combo would be her winter tonic.”
