SubscribeCame across a study published in the September 2006 issue of the European Journal of Neurology that compares Ginkgo Biloba to Aricept in the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.
Aricept is a cholinesterase inhibitor- it boosts the amount of acetylcholine available in the brain for nerve cell communication. Reminyl and Exelon are also used to treat Alzheimer’s disease, and work in a similar fashion
There aren’t many studies that compare the two head to head, but this one shows Ginkgo Biloba is clinically as effective as Aricept.
