Ginseng for Cognitive Function in Elderly Adults with Mild CognitiveImpairment, Alzheimer’s Disease, or Dementia: A Systematic Review andMeta-Analysis
Current evidence indicates that ginseng can improve cognitive function in older adults with MCI, AD or dementia. However, the extent of improvement is modest and not statistically significant, and its clinical relevance remains uncertain. Nevertheless, ginseng could still be considered as a potential therapy for age-related cognitive decline.
