Question 1

Is this the standard ginkgo 24/6 extract or just the less expensive 24%flavone glycosides without the 6% terpene lactones, the quality ones are 24/6?

Accepted Answer

My undergrad is in biochemistry from cal poly and I researched it a bit.  I use it and I think some of the terpene lactone discussion is really overblown.  So much of what we seen posted today is from bloggers and I doubt any of them have any chemistry degrees, and they just like to pontificate...just bunk...    I think the product is good.  Just my 2 cents...

Question 2

Does this help with tinnitus ear ringing?

Accepted Answer

Here is a clip from a publication in American Family Physician, a rescuable medical journal:

TINNITUS
Another common indication for ginkgo is tinnitus. A recent study of 1,121 subjects conducted using questionnaires and telephone interviews, without the use of standard audiometric testing as an outcome measure, failed to show a benefit of ginkgo in the treatment of tinnitus. Another randomized, placebo-controlled trial30 of 103 patients showed 50 percent of patients with new-onset tinnitus had improvement or disappearance of symptoms in 70 days compared with 119 days to improvement in those receiving placebo. A review of five heterogenous randomized controlled trials concluded that extracts of ginkgo biloba are moderately effective in treating tinnitus.

Question 3

What kind of gelatin used?

Accepted Answer

Standard collagen by product in dry form. No oil present but has rice flour. Capsules contain a fine, beige-yellow powder and it is the standard  24% ginkgo flavones or glycosides at 120 mg with 240 capsules to the bottle. Best effect (clarity of mind...subtle but noticeable after a month or so) obtained at 2 to 3 capsules per day. Some changes indicate improving health and better overall circulation (ED) but it takes time. Been on Gingko for over 5 years. Unique and recommended.

Question 4

On the back of bottle it says nutricost, made in USA, no other country is anywhere on bottle
