Question:
Is Ginkgo Biloba safe for middle school aged children to take?
Not every day, but for a week or two during testing?
Answers:
It is, in a proportionate dose for their weight. It is supposed to expand the blood vessel in the brain, supposedly increase the fuel supply. It is not good for anyone with migraine headaches, but otherwise it is good. I also recommend standing on your head, or at least your head lower than your heart level, some time each day, like 10-20 minutes as the Circle of Willis, or the circle of circulation in your brain isn't fully formed until around 20 years of age. This can be protective as you get older from things like strokes or other interference with your brain circulation. But perhaps check with your doctor first, and any time listen your body. If you feel worse or get more pain, then stop immediately and try to find out what the problem is. Good luck.
