You find it all over the place marketed as a memory enhancer.. etc. but there is always that little asterisk that says %26quot;these statements have not been approved by the FDA%26quot;. So have any credible randomized control trials actually proved a mental benefit from Gingko Biloba?
Has Ginkgo Biloba actually been proven to enhance memory and concentration?
The vast majority of trials that showed that it have a mental benefit were funded by a company that sells it, which calls their credibility into question.
A study funded by the Institute for Aging in 2002 on patients over 60 years of age showed that there was no improvement in memory from using it.
Other studies have shown an improvement in healthy individuals, though the improvement lasts for only a few hours. Also, chronic usage appears to induce a tolerance, and the affect disappears. Only rare, acute usage provides any benefit.
Many items that claim to contain the product use less than any of the studies that have shown an effect.
A quick search of journal articles pulls up a long list of professionally done studies involving gingko biloba. Most are irrelevant to the question at hand, and look at using the herb in the treatment of individuals with specific conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, alzheimer%26#039;s, and dementia. Overall, they found no effect on improving these conditions (though I did not read all of them).
It looks like research is ongoing and not fully conclusive.

The fact is Ginko has been proven to not only enhance memory and concentration but new studies have shown it to do many benefits in the body; like cardio vascular support, cell growth and brain cell restore.
