Question:
What can you say about gingko biloba?
Answers:
Hi Gwynneth, in the last few years, gingko biloba has become one of the most heavily advertised herbal products in health food stores and magazines. It seems that gingko is being advertised everywhere, as a new miracle cure for many common ailments. Gingko is reputed to improve thinking, stave off Alzheimer's disease, preserve memory, and reverse memory loss.
Proponents of gingko say that studies show it improves memory and concentration, and can delay senility.
This herbal supplement is made from an extract of the leaf of the gingko tree, one of an ancient family of trees. The leaf extract is filled with many organic compounds that are believed to be particularly beneficial to the cells of the brain.
Even though gingko, as a memory boosting supplement is relatively new in North America, it has been a commonly prescribed supplement in Europe for decades.
In China, the use of gingko goes back even further – over 5,000 years! So you see, gingko is not really new at all. In fact, it is one of the most widely prescribed herbal supplements in the world! ... hereinafter see article: http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/should_...
Before you take gingko, check with your doctor to be sure that you are not taking any medications that could conflict with the herb.
