A new study shows that ginkgo biloba does not reduce the risk of dimentia in those that take the popular herb. The study was conducted with over 1,500 patients who were considered to be elderly. The test was the first large and random clinical trial of ginko biloba every conducted even though the herb has been touted for years to help preserve aging memories.

Those taking ginko biloba during the study showed no better improvement in memory than those taking a placebo. This was not the result many expected:

“I’m disappointed,” says lead study author Steven DeKosky, M.D., vice president and dean of the University of Virginia School of Medicine. “It would’ve been wonderful to find something relatively well known and inexpensive that might have been helpful and protective.”

There is a lot of interest these days in natural vitamin supplements. A lot of this interest has to do directly with people’s fears about putting synthetic products and medications into their bodies. With natural vitamins, that concern is not justified thanks to their uses of components found commonly in nature.

Not only are natural vitamins built on better basic ingredients but they are also much easier for your body to process. Again, with their use of natural components and ingredients, your body will be able to more easily utilize natural supplements than it would with synthetic ones. Some studies have shown that the majority of the synthetic vitamins on the market today exit your body before they even have a chance to help you.

Keep in mind that not all natural vitamin supplements are the same. Sometimes products that are promoted or advertised as “natural” may in fact contain synthetic elements. It’s very important that you take the time to read the supplement’s packaging and ingredient lists so you know exactly what you’re going to be putting into your body. Buying a “natural” vitamin that is full of processed ingredients would defeat the entire purpose of your purchase.
