How ginkgo biloba helped this pilot stay alert in the cockpit
Often tired during flights, William Chong credits these health supplements with helping him stay alert while in the air.
Pilot William Chong Foo Loy's routine included taking ginkgo biloba supplements as his flying career progressed. Given the demanding nature of his profession, which required constant mental alertness and energy, Chong experienced fatigue and declining energy levels once he reached the age of 55. This was particularly concerning for Chong, as he regularly flew midnight routes to Europe, necessitating uninterrupted alertness for up to seven hours.
Frustrated by the lack of success with other supplements, Chong's friend suggested he try ginkgo biloba extract supplements. After incorporating these supplements into his daily routine, Chong reported feeling more alert and energized, both in the cockpit and in his daily life. He emphasized that the supplements complemented a healthy lifestyle rather than replacing essential habits such as maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise.
For Chong, ginkgo biloba supplements played a crucial role in maintaining his energy levels and mental acuity during the latter years of his aviation career, spanning four decades.
