Ginkgo biloba
Ginkgo biloba is promoted for memory and circulation. Large, well-conducted trials (including the GEM study) found it does not prevent dementia or cognitive decline, and benefits in healthy people are not supported; there may be small symptomatic effects in existing dementia. It can increase bleeding risk, particularly with anticoagulants.
Too little may be associated with
Less circulatory and cognitive support.
Too much may be associated with
