Medicinal uses of Ginkgo Biloba Memory Enhancement - Treating Dementia and Alzheimer'sGingo Biloba Leaves - Missouri Botanical Garden Gingko Biloba leaves turn into a beautiful uniform golden yellow in autumn. Courtesy: Missouri Botanical Garden There is evidence indicating that people with dementia can benefit from taking Ginkgo.

Some of its benefits include:

Improved thinking Improved memory Better social behavior. "The clinical efficacy of the ginkgo biloba in dementia of the Alzheimer type and multi-infarct dementia" was confirmed

Another study found "it is safe and appears capable of stabilizing and, in a substantial number of cases, improving the cognitive performance and the social functioning of demented patients for 6 months to 1 year."

Researchers believe that Ginkgo improves cognitive function because it promotes good blood circulation in the brain and protects it from neuronal damage.

However, Ginkgo doesn't seem to improve memory among people who are healthy.

A meta-analysis,found that there was zero effect of Ginkgo on attention and memory in healthy individuals.
