What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In adults with chronic tinnitus, 18.8% of those who took Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761® for 24 weeks showed at least a 30% improvement in three of four measured tinnitus symptoms.
