According to researchers in the University of Hertfordshire, taking gingko biloba supplements does not improve memory, attention or problem solving in healthy individuals. The paper, that is published in Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental, may be the first meta- analytic review that has examined the consequences of gingko biloba on healthy people across all age brackets. There was no effect on the cognitive functions, no matter the age of the people, the dose taken or perhaps the amount of time of taking gingko biloba supplements, found by the researchers led by Professor Keith Laws.
