Ginkgo Biloba for Brain Health

Health Online report Ginkgo biloba has been studied for its effect on dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. Ginkgo bioloba is an antioxidant, circulatory stimulant (particularly to the brain), cognition enhancing and neuroprotective. Studies have indicated improvements in cerebral blood flow, motor recovery, mood and behaviour, intellectual performance and memory with Ginkgo bioloba. This herb hasn't proven efficacious for those with mild to moderate Alzheimer's or vascular dementia, however it works well as a preventative, and in the earliest stages of dementia. It is important to consult with a Medical Herbalist or Pharmacist before taking Ginkgo biloba as it may interact with certain medications particularly warfarin and aspirin.
