It is up to people to spend their money on what they like! Many instances of science talking people out of something and finding a negative result in the long term. More studies needed! and even then be critical.!!

[...] was a miserable experience, and now I just want to move forward. And the best way to forget, it seems, is to take some Ginko Biloba [...]

I would like to see some research into what Ginkgo biloba does do instead of what it doesn’t; it’s certainly not without activity. All this study indicates to me is that Ginkgo is ineffective for slowing cognitive decline in a normal, healthy, elderly population, but that is not all that it is indicated for. A Google Scholar search shows several promising findings in the first dozen hits.

First time I heard that ginko bilboa is ineffective I’ll tell my folks, They don’t read JAMA. It will take a lot of advertising to knock out the accepted perception.

What dosages have been used?

The Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory (GEM) Study Investigators used twice-daily doses of 120-mg extract of Ginkgo biloba in their recent randomized trial.Sincerely, Shaheen

Diet in general can be important for mental health, but if you want to keep your cognitive abilities sharp you need to go out and use them – you have to challenge yourself, pursue puzzles, read books, learn new things, and pursue different hobbies.

Everyone I know who is over 60 but still “sharp” does these kinds of things. They keep their brains active, and don’t just vegetate in front of the ‘tube.
