Main Functions: Ginkgo biloba is used for cerebral insufficiency and Alzheimer's disease. It also is used for peripheral vascular insufficiency. Ginkgo is marketed in dietary supplement form with claims it can enhance cognitive function in people without known cognitive problems, but such claims are unfounded because it has no effect on memory or attention in healthy people.
