New studies show that Ginkgo Biloba can be utilized for calming ADHD symptoms in children and boosting memory in adults and seniors.
GINKGO BILOBA RESEARCH
Researchers from Germany's University of Tubingen's Center for Medicine tested the Ginkgo Biloba extract EGb761 on 20 children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a clinical trial. The children were given up to 240 milligrams (mg) of the extract for between three and five weeks. Before, during and after the treatment, the scientists evaluated the children by testing the brain's electrical activity, along with other ADHD symptoms.
A study from Liberty University, in Virginia, previously examined 262 adults ages 60 and over with normal memory and mental performance and found that the same Ginkgo Biloba extract improved their cognitive scores. Half of the study participants were given 180 mg of the extract daily and half were given a placebo. Standardized tests and a subjective, self-reporting questionnaire found the Ginkgo resulted in significant cognitive improvements among the older adults.

Being an indigo adult, I sometimes find it hard to concentrate fully on tasks that require my full attention. Having ADHD my entire life and never diagnosing it until I became an adult allows me to look back on my life and realize that it was all meant to unfold the way it did for a reason.
Now, instead of spending a majority of my life doped up on attention focusing drugs, I have the opportunity to curb my issues and look at it as a blessing in disguise. I plan on trying Ginkgo Biloba on a daily basis to see what effects it has on my goldfish-like attention span….
Look…a bird!
