Here's a link to one of the studies I mentioned. They tested a special extract of Ginkgo, based on earlier positive results with elderly subjects, on 107 patients with generalized anxiety disorder. The duration was only 4 weeks, which, as discussed, in my opinion may not generally be long enough to ascertain efficacy for a herbal product. However, they demonstrated clinically significant positive results. This "special" extract may be more potent than the typical Ginkgo supplements generally available.
