[New 2015]
Recommendation(s)
In people with either cognitive impairment or dementia, supplementation with nutrients, or use of Gingko biloba extracts should not be considered to improve cognitive function, to reduce the risk of developing dementia or to slow the progression of dementia once established.
When feasible, dietary deficiencies should be investigated and monitored in those with dementia and appropriate supplementations should be provided
Strength of recommendation: CONDITIONAL
Quality of evidence: VERY LOW
