GINKGO BILOBA Memory Benefits? | NEUROLOGIST review of Ginkgo Biloba

In this video, I discuss whether Ginkgo Biloba improves memory and enhances cognition based on the most up-to-date scientific literature. I also discuss Ginkgo’s effects on several other psychiatric and neurologic ailments (anxiety, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), vertigo, and tinnitus). Lastly, I discuss safety concerns and my top pick brand of Ginkgo based on 3rd party laboratory testing of supplement quality.

wow ! the whole seizure risk / medication is really good information a lot of times we don't consider these type of risk when looking into these type of products, I was looking at your video to research how this could help with autism glad to have caught this video .

[tjn]

Wow! Someone who looks at positives and negatives, states facts and gives a non biased opinion. the world need more people like this. nice work!

[Sealdrop]

wow even sources in the description, this is great

Another doctor mentioned that Ginko Biloba is most effective in healthy individuals. Unfortunately, the standard American diet isn’t healthy. Thankfully, more people are finding this out.

One of the first videos i dont see supplements advertised in the bio....i will definely watch to the end

Personally I've noticed better memory, better reading, and I enjoy music better when I take ginko. Also my symptoms of asthma go down. 27 yo male.

I think that all the research you have mentioned shows that: Their data is inconsistent or biass. Here on one side you supporting data that memory/ cognitive functions of the brain benefited from taking G.B then you have another group with opposite results.

I have taken it when I was studying and I did notice my memory to be more clear, I was able to memorize more info compared to when I didnt take it. It really depends on the individual/s who are taking it.

I originally looked at Ginko for memory enhancement. But I also struggle with mild anxiety and PMS, and tinnitus. so for a combination of things, even if I get a small improvement I think it’s worth giving a shot! Thank you for your informed report!! I mostly appreciated your brand recommendation 😃

[nikoroo]

Wow. Incredibly informative! Was about to splurge on some ginkgo supplements and now I’m rethinking it. Thank you!

[rosecroix]

Thank you for a non bias educational review.

I really enjoyed this video and subscribed after seeing the topics of discussions in the play lists. Nothing like getting the facts from a pro.

Excellent comprehensive review. Some people commented on my videos about this being prescribed to them for memory loss which is associated with epilepsy. Unfortunately it is not safe in epilepsy and does interact with the antiseizure medications..

[anikamusika]

High quality content, so easy to watch!! Thank you so much!!

Thanks Neurogal! You saved the day once again! 😁 Thanks for the scientific approach and review. Really love your channel.

My understanding is that it improves not only blood flow, but blood flow in the brain. This can be very helpful for those with atrophied areas of the brain and/or small blood vessel disease. Healthy brains with sufficient blood flow may not notice much difference in brain health. I've seen no research that indicates actual direct evidence of ginko biloba affecting neurons one way or another.

If you could do a video on brain blood flow and ginko, that'd be awesome!

I've read it helps with regulating serotonin in autistic people, especially with MAO-A gene mutation

The only living thing that survived the blast in Hiroshima. And the inspiration for a great poem by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe called, simply, Ginkgo Biloba. A tremendous poem about unity and harmony

I love you for being you and all people like you. Human potential is amazing!

Neck misalignments are seriously overlooked cause of brain fog, memory issues, vertigo, tinnitus and nerve issues

With everyone of being so glued to their phones many people are suffering from something called an atlas subluxation, it would be very nice if you could make a video raising awareness of this issue because I am for certain that many neurologists are being flooded with patients suffering from neck misalignment
