The herb Ginkgo biloba has long been recommended to improve memory. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine reported that standardized extracts of the herb ginkgo can prevent or reduce brain damage after a stroke. The study used mice, which were given the human equivalent of 7,000 mg (7 grams) of ginkgo extract daily. Overall, supplemental ginkgo reduced brain damage and neurological dysfunction by approximately 50 percent. Saleem S. Stroke, 2008; doi 10.1161/ strokeaha.108.523480. | ||
