What is Ginkgo Biloba?
Ginkgo Biloba is one of the oldest living tree species, and extracts from its leaves have been used in traditional medicine for centuries.
Why is it associated with cognitive function?
Ginkgo extracts contain flavonoids and terpenoids, compounds studied for their potential role in supporting healthy circulation, including blood flow to the brain, as well as antioxidant effects on neuronal health.
What does the research say?
Multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses have examined standardized Ginkgo extract (often EGb 761) for cognitive function, including studies specifically on age-related memory decline. See general background via NCCIH's overview of Ginkgo.
