Ginkgo biloba:-
Scientific Name(s): Ginkgo biloba L.
Common Name(s): Ginkgo, Ginkyo, Kew tree, Maidenhair tree, Yinhsing
(Japanese silver apricot)

Clinical Overview

Use

Ginkgo has been studied extensively in diverse medical conditions.

Findings from large trials have been pivotal in evaluating the efficacy of G.
biloba extracts; however, there is not enough quality evidence to support
the use of ginkgo for any indication. Evidence is lacking to support a
protective role in cardiovascular conditions and stroke. Ginkgo's place in
therapy for dementia seems limited, and a role in schizophrenia has not
been established. Additionally, data do not support enhanced cognitive
function resulting from G. biloba use in healthy individuals. Although
interest exists in chemotherapeutic applications, safety concerns persist.

Adverse Reactions

Severe adverse reactions are rare; possible reactions include headache,

dizziness, heart palpitations, and GI and dermatologic reactions. Ginkgo
pollen can be strongly allergenic. Contact with the fleshy fruit pulp may
cause allergic dermatitis similar to that caused by poison ivy.

Toxicology

Concerns persist regarding the safety of ginkgo leaf extract, based on

studies in rodents that suggested increased mitosis and proliferation of
tumor cells, as well as the large Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory (GEM) study
in which the potential for an increased risk of certain cancers was noted.
Consumption of the seeds may induce a toxic syndrome.
