 Ginkgo is big business, particularly in Europe. Your quote from
 Internet sounded just like one of the many advertisements for
 ginkgo that one can read in the press almost every day. It would
 be nice if the authors quoted at least some of the 300 studies
 with "clinical evidence". I am aware that it helps tinnitus
 patients but all the other claims mentioned need accurate
 scientific confirmation.
