1) What is Ginkgo-Go?

Ginkgo-Go uses a standardized extract of Ginkgo Biloba. This is important because standardized extracts are used during clinical trials and are proven safe and effective, as opposed to un-standardized preparations. Usually, a standardized extract contains two of the more than 40 chemicals discovered in the Ginkgo leaf: the ginkgo Flavoneglycosides (24% concentration) and the Terpene lactones (6% concentration).

Although their individual effects are not sufficiently studied and clearly understood, these compounds have been established to regulate blood flow to the brain as well as peripheral blood flow (legs, arms) and to possess anti-oxidant properties, thus helping fight conditions such as memory loss, depression and age related mental impairment.

This leads scientists to believe the herb may benefit patients with age associated memory impairment or neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. Research testing these hypotheses is on its way. Side effects of Ginkgo Biloba are rare and include headache, vomiting and dizziness.

2) Ginkgo-Go Ingredients

Ginkgo-Go includes the following ingredients: Ginkgo Biloba standardized extract (leaf) 120 mg, Cellulose, Vegetable Starch, Magnesium Stearate (vegetable source) and Silica.

5) Ginkgo-Go Serving Size

Product reviews mention increased mental clarity and ability to remember (memory) in most cases. The formula does not contain animal derivatives, sodium, yeast, dairy, preservatives, sugar, gluten, artificial colors or flavors and no side effects are mentioned either. The manufacturer recommends taking one caplet with a meal.

6) The Bottom Line – “Does it Work?”

Ginkgo-Go features a standardized extract of ginkgo Biloba designed to support memory and concentration. These are generally the benefit claims made for Ginkgo Biloba, which have also been verified through scientific research and clinical trials. However, the manufacturer offers little information on how this product is different from other similar alternatives. On the other hand, consumer reviews report the supplement helps them think more clear, focus better and remember easily things that before were hard to remember.

All things considered, it is our strong advice you ask a specialized opinion before use, especially since Ginkgo may determine certain side effects in some people or even interact with certain drugs.
