"Taking the supplement ginkgo biloba had no clear-cut benefit on the risk of developing memory problems, according to a study published in the February 27, 2008, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology...Forget to buy the stuff and save some money instead.
...Although there was a trend favoring ginkgo, the difference between those who took gingko versus the placebo was not statistically significant...
On a cautionary note, the study also found that people taking ginkgo biloba were more likely to have a stroke or transient ischemic attack, or mini stroke."
Not to mention saving yourself a stroke or two.
Remember to spend it on something fun and/or meaningful.
