Ginkgo for MEMORY

In a recent French study, 3500 men and women who took the herb ginkgo biloba for 13 years were 24% less likely to die. This study was unique int hat it looked at overall survival rather than at the effects of ginkgo biloba on memory loss.

Interestingly, those taking the gingko biloba appeared to have the same amount of memory loss as those who took other memory enhancers. The study was not randomized, so the people taking the ginkgo biloba may have been different from the non-takers.
