Migraines…

I've heard great things about Ginkgo and the benefits from it towards mental focus, clarity, memory, and even eyesight; as it increases blood flow to the head. However, I noticed upon taking this specific brand that I would get migraines and headaches all the time. At first I thought it was unrelated and was due to some other cause, but then I stopped taking these for a few days and voila! My migraines were immediately gone. I then took it again just to really confirm if it was from them, and sure enough it started up again. I am very disappointed, especially with all the great reviews and so-called quality control from the company. I am currently using another brand of Ginkgo that I bought from my local Sprouts and I have no issues with it whatsoever! This makes me doubt the quality of their other supplements I have and will perhaps be looking elsewhere for those too. Unfortunately I can't return this either as it's past the return date. Oh well, lesson learned

Part of maintaining a lifestyle I want,

Like many near my age (70th year here), cognitive decline is a concern and something i want to avoid, minimize, delay, whatever i can do. From many different sources i read that ginkgo, especially when combined with Korean ginseng, might help slow, delay, or avoid cognitive decline. The medical evidence is not there to support or refute that claim. I take Doctor's Best Extra Strength Ginkgo and ginseng twice a day and have for sometime. I do a lot of other things as well. Diet, physical exercise, and a lot of volunteer work that requires a high level of mental functioning. I am much more comfortable in a college classroom (yes, I go there)than the senior citizen center. A year ago I had no desire or the ability to do those things. For me, the major problem was a long-term sleep deficit caused by a very complex sleep disorder. Ginkgo and ginseng could not resolve that, but with the aid of a very competent sleep specialist it has been significantly subdued. So, yes, my short term-memory is working much better, I can remember names better, I feel like my mind is functioning as well as it did at age 40. Learning is fun again. Best of all, I don't have to warehouse myself on a golf course in Florida! No, the medical evidence is not there, but I like where i am at today and will continue with ginkgo and ginseng as a part of my daily regimen

So far this seems to be helping my 96 year old mother with dementia and aphasia.

This is one of the supplements that I have recently added to my 96 year old mother's regiment of supplements. She has dementia and aphasia., Within a week, we saw improvements in her. She was staying awake for more hours in the day and seemed more aware. This is a supplement that takes time to show benefits. So we are hoping that, in time, we will see more benefits

Great product for getting your blood to extremities

Husband swears this packs a power punch to his private parts, and to be honest, I do notice a difference too. Great product for getting your blood to extremities. If you don't know what that means folks, that's anything on your body in the outer limits (hands, feet), against gravity (brain), and well, it seems the other exterior parts that benefit from good blood supply as well

Tried it for Antidepressant Sexual Dysfunction

I've been using this product for over a year, as I saw there was some anecdotal evidence that it could be useful in sexual dysfunction caused by antidepressants like SSRIs. Since starting it with the initial drug that was causing me the issues, I've kept using it with every other one we've experimented with (being a guinea pig for meds is starting to wear on me...). Anyway, I take one pill morning and one at night, and I believe it helps slightly with sexual dysfunction. I keep taking it despite not seeing real proven results because I have a good hunch that it's working, and it's one of the only meds or supplements in my regiment that has stayed constant for so long! Really! So I'd recommend it. And I only ever buy Ginkgo from Doctor's Best. I was not paid or given any free products to write this review, this is just an honest writing from a long-time customer

Good Purchase

My husband has ringing in the ears. Ginkgo helps with that. It will not take it completely away, but it does seem to help

Gingko relieves my Tinnitus (ringing in ears)

Gingko relieves my Tinnitus (ringing in ears) if I miss even one day I can tell because the ringing gets worse. It does not completely erase tinnitus but it relieves it. (Experts say tinnitus can not be cured.) I take two capsules a day and have been doing this for years. Don't expect a cure because you will be disappointed but for me relief is what I need and its the next best thing to a cure. If you have tinnitus I say "try it". I don't know if it has increased my memory at all, I still have many "senior moments!
