Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba is an extract of the G. bibola tree. It contains terpene trilactones, which have been shown to prevent damage to brain cells and boost the activity of dopamine in your brain. Previous studies have suggested that taking ginkgo bibola may help children with ADHD improve many symptoms, such as impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and attention. However, there would be certain side effects, such as allergic reactions, dizziness, headaches, diarrhea, nausea, and gastrointestinal upset. People with blood clotting problems or taking anticoagulant drugs should avoid this herb as well because it is a blood thinner. [8]
