Is Ginkgo helpful?

I%26#039;m wondering if the herbal suppliment Ginkgo would be helpful for me to take.


I%26#039;m a 17 year old girl, who is constantly cold (hands%26amp;feet are ice-like), mentally sluggish, and can sometimes experience random bouts of slight depression.





Would ginkgo be safe for me to use? What are the dangers in using it?


(I also take Omega-3, and only find it helpful for my skin.)

Is Ginkgo helpful?
Ginkgo was first used by Chinese in herbal medicine over three thousand years ago. Modern studies have identified its active ingredients. The standardized ginkgo extract is approved as a prescription drug in Europe to treat memory impairment related to aging and dementia and to treat problems caused by poor circulation and is among the best selling drugs. The standardized ginkgo extract is a top selling herbal supplement in USA





Ginkgo Biloba is likely the most studied herb in clinical trials in USA and Europe. Many health benefits of Ginkgo Biloba have been explored. These benefits include improvement of mental performance in dementia of Alzheimer%26#039;s disease, memory improvement of age-associated memory impairment, memory enhancement in healthy elderly people, treatment of peripheral vascular disease, reduction of tinnitus, and prevention of acute mountain sickness.





• Clinical trials support that Ginkgo Biloba may slow down and even improve memory impairment in patients suffering Alzheimer%26#039;s disease or multi-infarct dementia.





• Laboratory studies have shed lights on the how Ginkgo Biloba may benefit Alzheimer%26#039;s disease.





• Clinical trials support that Ginkgo Biloba may improve declining memory and learning, reduced alertness, and dizziness due to aging in patients with Age-Associated Memory Impairment (Age-Related Cognitive Decline, Cerebral Insufficiency).





• Clinical trials suggest that Ginkgo Biloba may enhance memory, improve mental alertness in healthy adults as well.





• Clinical trials support that Ginkgo Biloba may increase walking distances and reduce recurring pain in walking due to the peripheral vascular disease (intermittent claudication).





• Trials have not yet found significant benefits of Ginkgo Biloba on reducing ringing in the ears occurred in tinnitus.





• Ginkgo Biloba is reported to prevent acute mountain sickness (altitude sickness) due to oxygen reduction in high altitudes for climbers and skiers
Reply:omega is good for many things that you may not even realize it is helping.


Ginkgo is an antioxident and it is good for many things also.


You can overdo antioxidents so follow the directions and do not take multiple types of antioxidents together or the same day.


B6 and sublingual B12 are also good.





Try taking magnesium at bedtime too.
Reply:No, there have been many medical studies on it but no memory improvement. If your mentally sluggish, mentally challenge yourself by doing crossword puzzles, logic puzzles. Go to zylom.com and have fun.
