Ginkgo Supplements - Human Memory and Cognitive Improvement.
This paper originated with a Internet article intended for a public readership and arguing that ginkgo is ineffective in improving memory, despite assorted claims to the contrary that have encouraged a multi-million dollar ginkgo industry. (MSNBC:2003).
