The Claim
Ginkgo Biloba is sometimes touted as a natural remedy for reducing anxiety due to its potential effects on neurotransmitter modulation and stress response.
Origin
This claim has been popularized by alternative medicine proponents and small-scale studies suggesting anxiolytic effects.
What Science Says
Evidence from clinical trials on Ginkgo Biloba for anxiety is limited and mixed. Some small RCTs have shown modest reductions in anxiety symptoms, but these findings are not consistently replicated in larger studies. A systematic review suggests that while there may be a slight benefit, more rigorous research is needed to confirm these effects.
Verdict
Partially True
