Abstract

This article scientifically examines the bioactive properties and effects on the human body of "NeuroTea" functional tea created based on Ginkgo biloba and other medicinal plants. The psycho-emotional stress, neurodegenerative diseases, and cognitive decline brought about by modern lifestyle have increased the demand for functional food products. The article analyzes the main bioactive components of Ginkgo biloba plant – flavonoids, terpenoids and polyphenols – and their neuroprotective, antioxidant and cognitive function-enhancing effects. Additionally, auxiliary medicinal plants (mint, rosemary, lemon balm) included in the tea composition and their synergistic effects were examined. The role of functional teas in modern pharmacognosy and nutriciology was evaluated. Research results indicate that regular consumption of "NeuroTea" bioactive tea can be an effective means of improving cerebral circulation, enhancing memory and concentration, reducing oxidative stress, and strengthening overall health.
