Be warned of the strong blood thinning effects from this herb. I get severe blood noses and bruising from 1/3 the reccomended dose, aswell from 1/12 the dose I still get some blood noses, as opposed to none normally. On the LEF forums, one woman claimed her father suffered a severe stroke (the more severe type being caused by thin blood) after taking ginkgo and asprin for one week. Vinpotectence also has blood thinning effects but I dont think its as bad and its a better vasodilator. Still, there are many safer things that can be taken for memory, even piracetam and a choline source helps for me, id reccomend against ginkgo though my experience was much worse than what most people experience. |
