According to an American work, its extracts have shown no effect, nor in the prevention of dementia than Alzheimer's disease.
Professor Steven Dekosky, University of Pittsburgh conducted a very serious study on the subject. During 6 years, he has 3 069 people over 75 years free of major cognitive disorders. To evaluate the effectiveness of Ginkg biloba, Dekosky deferred to a randomized double-blind against placebo. Work in the rules, half the participants receiving 120 mg of extracts of Ginkgo twice a day, the others formed a control group treated with placebo.
The results are unequivocal. In the Ginkgo group, 277 patients developed dementia, against 246. For the author, the conclusion: "we do not recommend taking Ginkgo biloba in prevention of dementia."
