User Reviews for ginkgo

Greatly doubting safety as I was using Plaquenil for Mixed connective tissue disorder . I used Gingko for Raynaud's I had severe vasculitis of finger resulting in Gangrene. Large possibility of drug reaction. Gingko role in chronic inflammation mentioned online. Greatly doubt its safety in use with certain medications.

Maybe its just my imagination........that it helps........but have read that it increases blood flow to brain?

I had white fingures for 5 to 6 years then I took advice from my eye specialist who told me that Ginko Biloba could help my eye problem and the white fingues as they could be related by circulation. My eye is now stable and the white fingures have almost gone.

Cures hemmoroids within days.

I have fatigue and memory loss from lupus and dermatomyositis (a related muscular dystrophy). The memory loss is very frustrating, as it makes me forget my former vocabulary, thus taking too long in conversation and appearing less intelligent. When I recently tried Ginkgo, I was delighted to start remembering names and terms better. Now I just need to find the optimum dose!

I lost recall of names and words due to stress and a little aging. After trying other remedies, I found some ginkgo last week. Very skeptical, I took two tablets before bed and would have stopped at that. The next afternoon, I suddenly realized that I had perfect recall of several names from decades past. I could also say my intended words better. That caused me to remember the two ginkgo tablets, and while not a cure all, they really seem to help. I need the maximum safe dose, and do not have a favorite brand yet. I think it should be done very carefully...Read More Read Less

I lost recall of many names and words due to age, stress, and steroid treatments for a rare muscular problem. After trying other remedies, I found some ginkgo last week. Very skeptical, I took two tablets before bed and would have stopped at that. The next afternoon, I suddenly realized that I had perfect recall of several names from decades past. I could also say my intended words better (I've developed problems speaking the wrong or opposite word with fatigue). That caused me to remember the two ginkgo tablets, and while not a cure all, they really seem to help. I need the maximum safe dose, and do not have a favorite brand yet.

My Dr. told me to try it.I did and it worked. It used to be obtainable on the National Health,but now they´ve taken it off.

I would like to believe that Gingko helped my cognitive funtions but unfortunately i dont see a difference, i take 2 tabs everyday (somedays i forget). I have been using this for almost 2 - 3 months

Stared taking it to improve mental function. However, after two years of daily supplement use, I realized that my thrice yearly migraines had ceased. I have experienced no adverse side effects.

60 years old,take 60mg am and 30mg pm, weight is 185lbs. Weight,age and dosage are so important to other readers. Been taking for 15 years. When I was 45 I took 30mg am and have been adjusting gradually to currant level. The effects do carry over about one day for me but after that I can really tell the difference. The quality of life has been much improved for me with this supplement but everyone is different and I like to use small increases of usually 10mg or less until I reach what I feel is optimum. Improving absorption and circulation are aspects of nutrition that greatly improve the effect of any supplement so I also take omega3 fish oil 1 triple strength cap am. a day. I certainly recommend this supplement. Read More Read Less

loss of hearing in one ear diminished

I must tell people that the fruit of Ginko caused me some terrible itching on my legs that lasted a few days. I came into contact with the decaying "berries" or whatever when cutting back some other foliage in autumn. I've experienced poison ivy before. This was practically as dreadful. Ginko leaf presents no problem, and I'm sure it improves my circulation.

Ginko Biloba gave me extreme anxiety. Once I stopped taking it, it took 24 hours to completely leave my system. Once it did, I was back to my normal self. I will never take this supplement again.

I have bi-polar depression, PTSD, and OCD.It work's amazing for me, I gradually got off my Paxil, because I hated the way it made me feel!!I hate taking chemical's!!

I am happy to find a treatment for good health

There are a few herbs that deserve much closer scrutiny. My experience has been first hand. Herbs dosages are critically important for some herbs. Ginkgo like yohimbe and ginseng is very concentrated and has powerful effects most commonly than not. We are far too reckless with these. I wouldn't experiment with Ginkgo unless a last resort is very necessary. Its your brain after all. Use a detox instead for your brain. Adrenals and hormone levels have been my first concern for aging fatigue, hair loss and male sexual function. For me Ginkgo is no good at all and difficult to be free of the side effects. Worse than chromium picolinate and may last years longer. If you have anxiety, stress or a mental issue such as depression seek a herbal holistic medical doctor instead of a maven or family practitionerRead More Read Less
