Ginko Biloba seems to be most effective in aiding with early onset of mental degradation. It's primary function in helping mental function is to aid in proper blood circulation. Ginko is purported to be a relatively safe herb with many toxicity tests done using animals but there are important specifics to understand. The incidences of side effects in large number test trials was small, with complaints being gastrointestinal upset, headaches and dizziness, and skin allergies. But there are warnings about using Ginko in connection with blood thinning drugs, since this is one of its properties. When combined with natural blood thinners like garlic and vitamin E, Ginko could also cause bleeding problems. It seems awfully important to me to understand these items and discuss them with your doctor. > I am writing on behalf of a relative aged 65 years, > male.
