One of the largest double blind studies on the effectiveness of herbal remedy for memory loss found Ginkgo Biloba medically useless. The collaborative effort of five academic medical centers across the U.S. recruited 3,069 people for the research study. They found a statically insignificant rise in memory degradation in the group that actually took the herbal extract over the placebo group.
Manufacturers of herbal remedies have made ridiculous claims outside the jurisdiction of the FDA for far too long. This latest study now proves that Ginkgo Biloba has no effect on memory loss or on patients suffering from the Alzheimer’s disease.
