Ginkgo Biloba
What Huberman said
Huberman says ginkgo has been shown to have minor effects on ADHD symptoms but is not appropriate for many people, and that it gives him splitting headaches because of its vasoconstrictive and vasodilating effects.
Cautions he mentions
- Gingko biloba is not appropriate for many people; take the vasodilation, vasoconstriction headache issue into consideration.[2]
Safety notes from independent sources
- Ginkgo may increase bleeding risk in people taking anticoagulants such as warfarin, and may be unsafe in pregnancy. Fresh ginkgo seeds are toxic, and serious side effects have been reported with roasted seeds. NCCIH: Ginkgo
