Question 1

does ginkgo biloba help with tinnitus?

Accepted Answer

Yes: An audiogram should be done to show presence or absence of a hearing loss.  Gingko biloba is less successful in helping tinnitus in presence of a hearing loss.  Gingko biloba has been reported to be helpful for vascular tinnitus.  You needs at least 120 mg/day and i instruct most patients to use it for a minimum of 3 months.  It should not be used if you are taking any other anticoagulant meds.

Question 2

what kind of tinnitus could be cured using ginkgo biloba (tebokan, tebonin, etc..) ?

Accepted Answer

None, really: Unfortunately, there are no well designed studies that show benefit from natural remedies for tinnitus.  Lipofkavenoids have been looked at there are 2 or three poorly designed small studies that sow some benefit.  First thing first.  You need an ENT to look inside the ear and test you to determine the cause of the tinnitus. Some types can be fixed.

Question 3

is ginkgo biloba extract good for you?

Accepted Answer

Not clear: There is not a lot of hard scientific evidence pointing to its benefits, see: http://j.Mp/vgykg2 and http://j.Mp/vgyowi  as you can see from these governmental websites, the evidence is conflicting.

Question 4

what are the risks of taking too much ginkgo biloba? (and how much is too much?)

Accepted Answer

The risks : Of too much applies to everything. Ginkgo is extracted by processing so stick to the dose on the label.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Some Yes &amp; other n0: Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) increases circulation and may improve sexual function, although one study found no effect. Ginkgo may increase the effects of certain blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants). Do not take ginkgo if you have a history of seizures. Ask your doctor before taking ginkgo.

Question 6

is ginkgo biloba effective for memory improvement?

Accepted Answer

It is, but this depe: depends on what caused your memory impairments(stress, car accident, depression, anxiety, ADHD, ) you may need other medication and or behavioral techniques to cope with this problem. Dont give up and thanks for your question. Daily Exercise and meditation help memory.

Question 8

is it okay to mix gnc supplement mega men 50+ with 120mg ginkgo biloba?

Accepted Answer

Mega Men 50 plus: GNC Supplement Megamen 50 plus does contain ginko biloba in smaller dose.A 2008 study howed that ginko biloba could increase risk of stroke .The scintists found that those taking ginko biloba had high rate of stroke than those who were given dummy pill.This study was done by university of Virginia school of medicine .And it has been shown ginco biloba causes cancer in animals.So I don't advise

Question 9

i would like to take ginkgo biloba for memory/concentration. is it safe to take 120 mg once a day?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but not helpful: That dose is safe, and actually low. However, the studies do not support any benefit from ginkgo for memory or concentration. It may (may) have some benefit for certain kinds of dementia. But I do not recommend it for memory problems or concerns. Other things are better such  as brain games, getting rest, and addressing medications that can cause such issues.

Question 10

can one take vital ginkgo biloba 7000mg tablets while taking trivenz, aspavor 20mg and coveram 10/5mg?

Accepted Answer

WHY???: Why waste your money on a useless pill? You are already taking serious meds. There is zero possibility of anything other than placebo effect.
