Ginkgo biloba is not effective in the treatment of dementia

Treatment of Ginkgo biloba extract, which use about 10% of people with dementia (dementia), is ineffective in this disease, said UK scientists. Ginkgo biloba is often used to improve memory. Some studies have shown beneficial effects of this plant on the human body. But a six-month investigation, in which the researchers observed in 176 people with mild symptoms of dementia showed that. No significant difference in health status between patients receiving 120 mg daily of ginkgo biloba, and those who used a placebo The results are published in the current issue of the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. According to scientists, the results of this study are important because the treatment of dementia drugs with ginkgo biloba, are quite expensive and not affordable for many retirees. You give all the money in the hope of treatment that does not bring any results, in fact, said Professor Clive Ballard of the Alzheimer's Society for the fight.
