What it is
The pharmaceutical-grade EGb 761 extract is distinct from generic ginkgo with rigorous standardisation. Multiple European trials found 240 mg/day significantly improves dementia symptoms. A 2023 Cochrane update noted modest benefits. Anticoagulant properties require supervision with blood thinners. Generic ginkgo lacks equivalent evidence.
