A 42-month, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled pilot trial of standardized Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) 240 mg daily (80 mg, 3 times a day) to determine the effect of GBE on cognitive decline among oldest old subjects was performed. The study sample was targeted to enroll 135 subjects. GBE samples were independently verified to have at least 6% terpene lactones and 24% flavone glycosides. Data from 118 participants were used in the study. In unadjusted analyses, Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) neither altered the risk of progression from normal to Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) = 0.5, nor protected against a decline in memory function. Secondary analysis taking into account medication adherence showed a protective effect of GBE on the progression to CDR = 0.5 and memory decline (1). Another study evaluated 6 weeks supplementation of ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761(180 mg/day standardized to contain 24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones) (n = 131), compared to a placebo (n = 131), on the neuropsychological functioning of cognitively intact older adults. The results from both objective, standardized, neuropsychological tests and a subjective, follow-up self-report questionnaire provided complementary evidence of the potential efficacy of Ginkgo biloba EGb 761 in enhancing certain neuropsychological/memory processes of cognitively intact older adults, 60 years of age and over.
