Answer 4

Hey there buddy...... yes,  gingko biloba will enhance your memory and help you to retain more information.....  it also helps to improve circulation by increasing the amount of oxygen to the heart, brain and all other body parts and will help relieve muscle pain ..... you really do need to be carefull though with supplements and try to ensure that you get good quality ones.... the suggested dosage is normally up to 3 x 60mg capsules or tablets daily..... a reputable health food store would be the best place to purchase them so that you can get professional advice from the resident Nutritionist or Naturopath on the quality of vitamins you are purchasing.

Caution ~ Taking this herb with aspirin may cause blood shot eyes.

Also, for memory loss and increasing your concentration and levels of focus try eating more foods rich in Vitamin B1 (thiamine) ie ~ brewer's yeast, whole grain breads and cereals, meat (pork or liver), organic nuts, legumes such as peas, beans and lentils and potatoes.

also take a multi B complex supplement including all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best as a group......... don't take any of the B complex of vitamins individually but rather as a whole group unless specifically told to by a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath.

The need for B1 (and the B complex) increases when we are stressed, during illness and surgery. B1 has beneficial effects on the nervous system and mental attitude and will also aid in digestion and keep nervous system, muscles and heart functioning normally............ The B complex of vitamins will help bolster your system so as you can better deal with the everyday little dramas life presents for us.

It is a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither produce or store them. Therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the side affects.

Things that will rob you of your precious B complex of vitamins are :- stress, eating too much protein, alcohol, eating too much tinned food, laxatives and diuretics, antiobiotics, antidepressants, penicillin, prednisone and aspirin, otc cold and flu medicines.

Also, try to cut back on drinks such as caffeine, tea, sodas and soft drinks as they are all B complex thieves........ as well as being great at dehydrating you

Also, an L-glutamine supplement taken 3 times daily with a meal will also bolster a healthy immune and nervous system and assist in maintaining muscle function....... it also helps maintain the health of intestinal flora and thus is a digestive aid... Glutamine is a natural amino acid and a naturally occuring antioxidant and is brilliant for helping you to retain more information and recollecting particular thoughts.

Other nutrients which are said to enhance your memory and make you smarter are ~ Vitamine E, grapeseed extract, lipoic acid, Vitamin B3 (niacin), Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B12 (cobalamin),folic acid, choline, gotu kola ............ obviously none of them will turn you into Albert Einsteen but you'll surely start remembering more mate ......... take care of you.

hope this helps u

peace 2 u

Answer 5

No but studying, reading, and watching educational programs will. How is a pill supposed to teach you something. If there were ever a pill that you could take and suddenly learn calculus it would go for a lot more than 10 dollars. Ginkgo only improves memory... slightly

Answer 6

It increases circulation to the brain and you need to take it daily. now a rare few get headaches from it and some find it stops headaches. It also is used to combat ringing in the ears. This gave me photographic memory once years ago after taking it for a month straight.

FYI Ginkgo Biloba comes from the Ginkgo tree and I read that it's the oldest tree in the world and is free of pests and disease so it has no enemies and so you know it isn't sprayed with chemicals.It alsop increase circulation to the extremeties.

WARNING: Ginkgo Biloba thins blood so never take with if on blood thinners and never tell anyone to take this unless they know the warnings! FYI garlic thins blood too.
