		Some smaller studies for memory enhancement have had promising results, but a trial sponsored by the National Institute on Aging of more than 200 healthy adults over age 60 found that ginkgo taken for 6 weeks did not improve memory.
		The aim is to see if the herb prevents the onset of dementia and, specifically, Alzheimer's disease; slows cognitive decline and functional disability (for example, inability to prepare meals); reduces the incidence of cardiovascular disease; and decreases the rate of premature death.
		Ginkgo for memory enhancement: a randomized controlled trial.

		Although the animals did not fully recover all their bone density compared to controls, those rats fed oleuropin (0.15g/kg) or olive-oil (50 g/kg) daily for 3 months recovered 70-75% of their bone density—a 50% improvement compared to control animals, which were given 25g/kg peanut oil and 25 g/kg rapeseed oil daily.
		Proper storage techniques for olive oil are very important, not only to preserve the delicate taste of the oil, but to ensure that it does not spoil and become rancid, which will have a negative effect on its nutritional profile.
		In this double-blind, cross-over, randomized clinical trial, 30 healthy volunteers were given three similar olive oils whose concentration of antioxidant phenols ranged from 0 to 150 mg/Kg.
