1. Based on the available data, what is the postulated mechanism of action of GbE?     Based on the data shown, Ginkgo biloba extract(GbE) was claimed to improve the patient’s memory and mental function. Also, herbal supplements or botanical medicines offered distinct advantages over that current treatment for dementia. Moreover, It was expected that the therapeutic effects of the medication design for dementia which is Aricept were expected to have similar to Ginkgo biloba extract (GbE) which enhances mental performance which is important for the processes of memory, thinking, and reasoning. These hypotheses were base on the literature that came through some patient experiences of using this therapy.  2. Given the patient’s medical and personal situation, would you recommend self-treatment with  GbE? Why or why not?  3. What education should be provided to patients who choose to use this alternative therapy?  4. Are there any other dietary supplements that are claimed to be useful for improving memory and cognition?
